The Sparkblossom's Beacon is a craftable Hardmode Umbral summon weapon that is made acquirable after Queen Slime has been defeated.
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 Sparkblossom's Beacon has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
