The Sand Sharknado Staff is a craftable Hardmode summon weapon that is an upgrade to the Forgotten Apex Wand. When used, it summons a sandnado to fight for the player. It attacks nearby enemies by firing miniature high velocity Sand Sharks at them.
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 Sand Sharknado Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
