The Cinder Blossom Staff is a craftable Pre-Hardmode summon weapon. When used, it summons a spinning scorching flower minion above the player's head that fires a flaming cinder at nearby enemies which pierces twice and passes through tiles. Cinders create a small explosion on enemy hits in the shape of a flower with three, four, or five petals in a randomized manner. Unlike most minions, only one Cinder Blossom can be summoned at a time. The cinders inflict the On Fire! debuff.
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 Cinder Blossom Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
