Spirit Bender's Staff (demo)

Spirit Bender's Staff casting animation

The Spirit Bender's Staff is a craftable Hardmode radiant weapon. It creates a ghostly aura around the cursor that damages a single enemy caught within it and recovers portions of life back to the wielder while dealing damage. The aura also inflicts the Granite Surge debuff onto hit enemies.

If the player's radiant powers are corrupted, the weapon will instead create a purple corrupted aura around the cursor, inflicting the Light Curse debuff instead of Granite Surge.

Notes[ | ]

  • Functionally, this staff works the same as Gorgan Gaze Staff, Bloodboil, and True Bloodboil, as they all create a damaging aura around the cursor. However, unlike the former three, which are all magic weapons, the Spirit Bender's Staff is a radiant weapon and is thus tied to the Healer class.
    • Additionally, this staff can only damage one enemy at a time.
  • This weapon's life stealing ability thematically matches with the set bonus gained when using the Spectre Armor Hood.
    • However, the staff does not create the healing orbs, but instead just gives a small amount of life directly to the player per damage tick.
  • This weapon's life stealing ability counts towards a heal streak.
