The Starspawn Helix Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon that is dropped by Astrum Deus. It summons an Astral Probe that orbits around the player and fires homing astral lasers that go through tiles.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Starspawn Helix Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Trivia

• The probes orbiting the player is based on how Astrum Deus had a ring of orbiting probes in previous versions of the mod.
