Spider Staff

The Spider Staff is a Hardmode Minion summoning weapon that spawns a spider character that follows the player and attacks enemies. It has a chance to inflict the Venom Debuff, can climb walls, and jump high. Like other minions, the summoned spider is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff.

Its best Modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stats bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits.

Trivia

 * Each time the spider is summoned, it has a random one of three possible sprite graphics. They are all functionally identical.
 * This and the Queen Spider Staff are the only items that can inflict the Venom debuff before any mechanical bosses have been defeated.
 * Although real spiders can not fly, the spiders summoned by this staff will fly up to you if you are too far away.
