Use

The Gauss Dagger is a craftable Pre-Hardmode broadsword. When used, the player swings a short-ranged dagger that spawns an energy flux on top of enemies when they are struck two times. The flux repeatedly damages enemies that come into contact with it for 3 seconds.

The weapon consumes 0.05 units of charge per use and has a maximum charge of 50. As such, the weapon can be used continuously from full charge 1000 times, or for 6 minutes and 23 seconds.

Its best modifier is Legendary.
