Summoner Weapons Terraria (2024)

FAQs

What is the best summoner weapon in Terraria? ›

Each of the Tavernkeep's sentry summon weapons come in three tiers: Rod, Cane, and Staff; with the Staff being the most expensive and the most powerful.

The max number of minions that can be summoned can be increased with certain armors and accessories. The max number of minions a player can summon at one time is 11, using Stardust Armor, Necromantic Scroll, Pygmy Necklace, Papyrus Scarab, Summoning Potion and Bewitching Table.

All data displayed is of the base values from the source code (no modifiers, accessories, or buffs in effect). The total number of unique summon weapons in Terraria is 47.

Focus on equipping armor and accessories that boost your summon limit, such as the Necromantic Scroll, Pygmy Necklace, and the Stardust Armor. Don't forget buffs from potions like the Summoning Potion and the Bewitching Table, which adds an extra summon each. Combine all these, and you'll reach 9 summons easily!

Still, the Stardust Dragon Staff is possibly the best weapon for this fight. It summons a dragon that becomes longer for each additional summoning and passes through blocks dealing damage to enemies. The Stardust Dragon Staff is crafted using 18 Stardust Fragments at an Ancient Manipulator.

The Eye of Cthulhu can be summoned manually using a Suspicious Looking Eye at night (beginning at 7:30 PM in-game time).

The Moon Lord can be summoned with a Celestial Sigil before defeating the Lunatic Cultist in any world where the Golem has been defeated. If the player leaves the world after the message "Impending doom approaches...", Moon Lord will not spawn.

Summoner, in my opinion, is the worst class. He has the lowest defense and has good damage against enemies, but his defense is so low he dies extremely easily. He can't do much against bosses of any kind if he doesn't have endgame gear.

Whips can be an excellent tool for an early game head start, as they have high damage and are easy to get straight away. Whips Buffs from whips like the Durendal don't disappear when you change weapons.

If the player's back is against a wall, door, or other solid block, the Terraprisma will phase through the solid block, attacking any enemies within range. It is the best summon weapon in Terraria in terms of DPS .

Using the proper armor, accessories and buffs, the maximum number of minions can be raised up to 11. Minion cap boosts do not affect pets or light pets.

Stardust Armor is the BEST Summoner armor in the entire game, available once you've defeated Moon Lord. It takes 36 Luminite Bars to craft (that's 144 Luminite in total) and 45 Stardust Fragments.
