The Barnsley Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon that is rarely dropped by Fractal Ferns. It summons a fractal fern minion that teleports to follow the player, firing electric frond projectiles in an identical manner to the enemy, but teleporting to a different location between each attack. Like other minions, the summoned fern is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, exits the world, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. While Mythical provides the widest array of stat bonuses, these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage mythical has over ruthless is knockback.

Trivia

• Like the Fractal Fern itself, it is based on the Barnsley fern fractal.
