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 15 blocks tall wall of Cursed Flame, which deals damage and inflicts the Cursed Inferno debuff 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. Only one wall may be generated at a time; if another is summoned, the first one will vanish.

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