Webbed Staff

The Webbed Staff is a Pre-Hardmode summon weapon. It summons a Spider Queen minion that floats around the player and attacks by firing a spear at enemies that is visually identical to the one the The Spider Queen uses. Only one can be summoned, but like the Desert Tiger summon, it gains stat upgrades the more you summon it. The Webbed Staff is one of four weapons that can be dropped by The Spider Queen.

The Webbed Staff's spawned Spider Queen will gain increases of +10 damage each time it is summoned. Other minions can be used in conjunction with the Spider Queen.

It's best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these mostly affect the original summon instead of the minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting effect hat a Mythical Webbed Staff would have over a Ruthless one is it's knockback.

Tips

 * The Spider Queen does not deal contact damage, but it can still summon unwanted bosses should a spear hit a critter.
 * Because it only is strengthened and not multiplied, it is better for use against small groups or singular targets. As such, a player might want to use a different summon for events or farming.

Trivia

 * The Spider Queen bears resemblance to an 8-Bit version of The Spider Queen.
 * The minion dealing double damage during Blood Moons or a Martian Madness event is a reference to ChasingFlavors hating both of these events.
