Queen Spider Staff



The Queen Spider Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon that summons a stationary "Queen Spider" character that lasts for two minutes. 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 two minutes, 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 requires blocks or platforms to stand on.

Its best Modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier presents a wider array of stat bonuses, but most of these apply to the initial summoning, and not to the resulting Frost Hydra. Additionally, Minions cannot deal critical hits. The only significant advantage a Mythical Queen Spider Staff has over a Ruthless one is 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.
