The Swarm Scepter is a Hardmode summon weapon that can either be dropped by Boro or crafted. When used, it summons a Leech minion that quickly chases after enemies, dealing contact damage and being able to ignore tiles. Each Leech takes up 0.5 minion slots.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stats bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only significant advantage a Mythical Swarm Scepter has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
