Chitin headpiece and economical minion gains
Forged from 8 Spider Fang materials at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil, the Spider Mask supplies 5 defense for summoners. It increases the wearer maximum minion capacity by 1 and raises summon damage by 5%. Costing fewer fangs than the body and leg pieces, it serves as the quickest entry point into early hardmode summoning gear for players hunting in spider nests.
Summon damage amplification and boss encounters
Equipping the mask with Spider Breastplate and Spider Greaves brings full defense to 20 while unlocking a set bonus that boosts minion damage by 12%. This full assembly allows summoners to field 4 base minions with 28% increased damage before calculating accessory buffs or summoning potions. Compared to pre-hardmode Bee Armor, the Spider set provides the minion capacity needed to defeat mechanical bosses.
Trivia
- Requires only 8 Spider Fang items, making it the cheapest Spider Armor piece to craft.
- Provides 5 defense and expands maximum minion slots by 1.
