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.

This and the Queen Spider Staff are the only items that the player can use to inflict the Venom Debuff before defeating any mechanical bosses.
