Summons Minion

• Salt Killifish
  

The Salt Killifish Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon acquired rarely from fishing in Salt Caves. It summons a salt killifish minion that floats to follow the player and will charge at nearby enemies to attack. On impact, it will apply a brief Desiccating debuff that stacks with each consecutive hit, preventing life regeneration and causing rapid damage with a Confused-like reversing effect after enough hits. Like other minions, the summoned salt killifish 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 Mythical unlike most summons. Ruthless raises the damage by the same amount due to rounding.
