Queen Spider Staff



The Queen Spider Staff is a Hardmode Magic Weapon that summons a stationary "Queen Spider" character that lasts for one minute. It fires short-range spider eggs at enemies which can roll and are heavily affected by gravity. Upon colliding with enemies or objects, the eggs hatch three baby spiders each that attack enemies suicide-style, inflicting Minion damage along with the Venom debuff.

Although the Queen Spider is considered a Minion, it is unlike other Minions in that it only lasts one minute, does not follow the player, and does not count toward the minion cap. It can be summoned simultaneously with other traditional minions, and will not cause another minion to despawn.

The Queen Spider can be summoned in any area of the visible screen, even if blocks completely separate the player from the point chosen. It only requires blocks to land on, and will not stand on platforms.

Its best Modifier overall is Mythical: +15% Damage, +10% Speed, +5% Crit, -10% Mana, +15% Knockback. But since it's a Minion, players may want to maximize the damage, the best modifier for it being Ruthless: +16% Damage, -10% Knockback.

Tips

 * The Staff can be helpful for clearing out caves and rooms without directly entering them, by summoning it through the wall.
 * Because the Spider Fang item is a common drop (3/4 chance) from Black Recluse spiders, the Queen Spider Staff is easy to obtain and a useful aid in surviving early Hardmode.
 * The Staff can be sold for whereas the materials needed only sell for   (24 Spider Fangs), which makes selling the staff as opposed to the fangs a good way to make money.
