Clinger Staff



The Clinger Staff is a Hardmode magic weapon that has a 20% chance to be dropped by a Corrupt Mimic. It generates a 10 blocks tall wall of Cursed Flame, which deals damage to any enemy that walks through it. The point at which the wall is generated must be in a direct line of sight; otherwise, the wall will not generate, though still use mana. The Clinger Staff's wall lasts for about 45 seconds or 20 hits. Only one wall may be generated at a time; if another is summoned, the first one will vanish.

Its best modifier is Masterful for mana efficiency, or Ruthless for maximum damage output because it cannot deal critical hits.

Tips

 * Due to its high knockback, this weapon is excellent at keeping enemies away from the player.
 * The Clinger Staff excels at killing worms, as multiple segments can be hit by the wall of flame.
 * The Clinger Staff can be used as a Hardmode substitute for the Flare Gun when farming for fishing bait.
 * Due to the narrow passageways of the Dungeon, this weapon can be useful while in the Dungeon for keeping enemies away.

Trivia

 * Despite its name and appearance, the staff is not dropped by Clingers.
 * This weapon has the highest mana usage of all magic weapons in a single use.
 * Despite the weapon's tooltip and the projectile's appearance, this weapon doesn't inflict the Cursed Inferno debuff.
