Venom Staff1 × Poison Staff, 14 × Chlorophyte BarMythril Anvil

Chlorophyte forge upgrade and venom fang spread

Crafted at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil by combining a Poison Staff with 14 Chlorophyte Bar. The staff fires a wide cone of 4 to 7 piercing venom fangs at a Average rate (use time 30), costing 25 mana per cast. Each fang inflicts 44 base magic damage and afflicts struck hostiles with the Acid Venom debuff, eroding health over time without being mitigated by monster defense.

Crowd piercing and post-mechanical mage setups

As a direct evolution of the Poison Staff, this weapon pierces up to 7 enemies per fang, making it lethal against congested swarms in the post-Plantera Dungeon or multi-segmented worm creatures. At point-blank range, several fangs collide with a single bulky adversary to deliver heavy burst damage. Combining the staff with a Spectre Mask produces a hail of homing spectral bolts from each penetrating hit. Mythical is the optimal modifier.

Trivia

  • Fangs launched by the staff can strike through up to 7 hostile targets before dissipating.
  • Acid Venom drains health over time significantly faster than standard Poisoning and bypasses monster armor.
