Vampire Frog Staff



The Vampire Frog Staff is a pre-Hardmode summon weapon. It spawns a Vampire Frog minion that follows the player and attacks enemies using its tongue. Like other minions, the summoned Vampire Frog is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, until the player dies, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff. It has a 1 in 8 ( to be dropped by a Zombie Merman or Wandering Eye Fish, both of which will spawn while fishing during a Blood Moon.

Its best modifier is Ruthless, Mythical, Masterful, Godly, Demonic, or Furious, which all raise its base damage by the same amount due to rounding.

Tips

 * This minion can be obtained earlier than the Hornet Staff and is fairly useful for close-range defense and clearing out enemies in open areas. However, Vampire Frogs cannot fly, and are prone to getting stuck behind blocks, and are strictly close-range.
 * It can do very high damage at this point of the game when paired with the Shark Tooth Necklace.
 * Because the frog deals damage on contact rather than with a bespoke attack pattern, the vampire frog is one of the few minions that can be tested on target dummies without an enemy onscreen.
