Minion power increase and Underworld spoils
Dropped by the Wall of Flesh with a 25% drop rate in Classic mode and always included in Expert Treasure Bags, the Summoner Emblem grants a flat +15% boost to summon damage. This damage bonus boosts all minions, sentries, and whip strikes across every stage of combat. At the Tinkerer's Workshop, it combines with the Warrior, Ranger, and Sorcerer Emblems to craft the multi-class Avenger Emblem.
Summoner loadouts and minion damage scaling
This emblem acts as a vital offensive milestone for summoners upon entering Hardmode, significantly increasing the damage output of Spider Staff and Sanguine Staff minions. Because minion damage scales cleanly with percentage multipliers, summoners often retain the emblem deep into progression alongside the Hercules Beetle and Necromantic Scroll to maximize minion armies. Reforging to Menacing adds +4% damage (+19% total), representing the optimal reforge since minions benefit heavily from raw damage boosts.
Trivia
- Added in update 1.3.0.1 to provide summoners an equal damage emblem alongside the three original combat classes.
- Submerging a Summoner Emblem into Shimmer liquid transforms it into a Sorcerer Emblem.
