The Dipole Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon that drops from The Polarities. When used, it spawns miniature versions of Magneton and Electris, known as Magnetomini and Electrimini respectively, which follow the player and attack enemies. They move similarly to the Polarities, moving to keep a straight line between them with the player in the middle as they move. Magnetomini fires a constant barrage of magnetic rockets that home in on nearby enemies, while Electrimini will fire a laser beam every few seconds that deals rapid damage, but it cannot change its angle while firing so it's likely to lose its target if the player moves. Neither of these attacks can pierce through terrain, likely reducing their damage output significantly if the player is standing on solid ground.

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

• The Polariminis use the same sprites as the Boss Masks dropped by the Polarities.
