Summons Sentry
Spikecrag

The Spikecrag Staff is a Hardmode sentry that is dropped by the Ravager. When used, it summons a Spikecrag sentry that attacks enemies by firing an intense upward spray of gravity-affected spikes; a total of 2 to 3 spikes are fired every 1/6th of a second.

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 Spikecrag Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Notes

• In the Get fixed boi seed, Spikecrag Staff gains a 3x base damage buff after defeating Providence, shoots 6 more spikes per shots, and its spikes inflict Holy Flames.

Tips

• This weapon can output extremely large amounts of damage if an enemy with a large enough hitbox (e.g. a boss) ends up just above it, as most of its rapidly fired spikes will hit. Combined with the right gear and increased sentry slots, it can easily output DPS in the order of tens of thousands.

Trivia

• This weapon's name and the sprite of the minion it summons reference the Spikerock from the game Plants vs. Zombies.
