Loom weaving and arachnid summon strikes
Crafted at a Loom from 30 cobwebs and 10 wood, the Cobwhip serves as an introductory summoner whip introduced in version 1.4.5. When swung, it extends a sticky web lash that strikes hostile targets for 9 base summon damage and tags them with 3 summon tag damage. Each successful strike against an enemy spawns a tiny helper spider that scuttles forward to bite targets, supplementing active minion swarms with automatic extra hits.
Early summoner synergy and whip switching
The Cobwhip grants early summoners a craftable weapon before fighting subterranean bosses or encountering the Zoologist for the Leather Whip. The spider summons generated by whip cracks help overwhelm groups of slimes and zombies during early nights. Pairing this whip with summon staffs like the Finch Staff directs minion focus while boosting overall damage output via its tag bonus. For prefixes, Legendary delivers the highest bonuses to lash velocity, damage, and knockback.
Trivia
- Striking any enemy with the Cobwhip spawns a temporary tiny spider companion to attack the victim.
- It requires only cobwebs gathered from cavern spider nests and basic wood, making it available on the very first day.
