Witch Doctor trading and whip reach mechanics
Purchased from the Witch Doctor for 50 gold once Plantera has been defeated, the Tiki Mask requires the player to carry a Pygmy Staff in their inventory to appear in the shop. It provides 6 defense, increases summon damage by 10%, raises maximum minion capacity by one, and extends whip range by 10%. Equipping this helm alongside the Tiki Shirt and Tiki Pants completes the full set, granting an extra minion slot for a total bonus of four additional minions.
Minion swarm capacity and Spooky armor trade-offs
Compared to Spooky armor acquired during the Pumpkin Moon, which focuses purely on offensive summon damage, Tiki armor emphasizes balanced defense and whip range. The extended whip reach enables summoners to trigger tag damage and minion focus from safe distances while commanding minions. Pairing the mask with summon accessories such as the Papyrus Scarab or Necromantic Scroll and whips like the Morning Star creates a dependable summoner setup for tackling the Hardmode Dungeon and celestial events.
Trivia
- Sold by the Witch Doctor exclusively when the player carries a Pygmy Staff in their inventory.
- Unlike most summoner helms, the mask increases whip reach alongside summon damage.
