Summons Minion
Aquatic Star

The Deepsea Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon that is dropped by the Aquatic Scourge. When used, it summons an aquatic starfish to follow the player around and attack enemies by rapidly dashing at them to deal damage.

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 Deepsea Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Notes

• It is considered an indirect upgrade to the Brittle Star Staff, because it lacks the secondary effect of increasing the player's defense.
