Imp Staff

The Imp Staff is an aerial ranged summon weapon which spawns a miniature Flying Imp minion that follows the player and fires three fireballs at enemies. Fireballs always inflict the On Fire! debuff for 3–6 seconds and can pierce infinite enemies. Like other minions, the summoned Imp is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, summons a replacement minion, cancels the buff, or leaves the world.

Tips

 * Prior to 1.4.0.1, the Imp's overall fire rate was low and inconsistent compared to the Hornet Staff, while having more damaging attacks that pierce and inflict a stronger debuff. Since 1.4.0.1 however, the Imp's fire rate has been drastically improved, in exchange for less base damage. The Imp still cannot attack underwater enemies though, while the Hornet can.
 * When an Imp is summoned using the Imp Staff, if there is an enemy in its line of sight, it will usually fire. This means that continuous summoning will generally give the Imp a more consistent fire rate.
