Huntress's Buckler

Trap sentry support and minion potency

Acquired from the Tavernkeep in exchange for 50 Defender Medals once the initial tier of the Old One's Army has been cleared. Wearing this defensive buckler grants 1 additional sentry slot and enhances summon damage by 10% for all summoned minions and stationary turrets, augmenting minion strikes and whip hits alike.

Defensive summoner loadouts and sentry layering

Pairs naturally with the Huntress armor set and Explosive Trap sentries, turning tight corridors and invasion approaches into lethal hazard zones. Summoners aiming for broad turret coverage can stack it with the Apprentice's Scarf, Monk's Belt, and Squire's Shield to deploy multiple turrets simultaneously without needing Hardmode armor sets. Reforging to Menacing enhances both sentry explosions and mobile minion strikes, while Warding grants 4 defense for survivability.

Trivia

• Despite being styled as a buckler shield, this accessory does not grant any base defense or parry abilities.
• The 10% summon damage bonus applies to all minion types, including whips and flying minions.
