1.1 Do I need a Facebook account to play?.The internal name for the Blade Staff is Smolstar.The Blade Staff seems to have a similar color scheme to the Hallowed Mimic's drops, most closely resembling the Flying Knife." Death by a thousand cuts", or Lingchi, was a torture and execution method used in China from roughly 900 CE until it was banned in 1905.Along with the Stardust Dragon Staff, Desert Tiger Staff, and Raven Staff, the Blade Staff is one of four summon weapons whose buff description is not " will fight for you", instead being "Death by a thousand cuts".Despite being a Hardmode drop, the Blade Staff has the second lowest base damage out of all summon weapons, the lowest being the Lightning Aura Rod.This drastically increases its effectiveness against enemies that are affected by knockback, as several daggers can lock an enemy in place. Although the Blade Staff has no base knockback, it can gain knockback from accessories like the Papyrus Scarab or buffs like Well Fed.Note that despite its armor penetration, the dagger will still do 1 damage per hit (as the Dungeon Guardian has 9999 defense, while the daggers have only 25 armor penetration). Because of its rapid attack rate, it is an effective summon for killing a Dungeon Guardian.Some examples include the Flying Dutchman and Santa-NK1, which feature 100 and 56 defense, respectively. Certain bosses have so much defense that the Blade Staff's damage will be reduced to 1 damage per hit even with access to other defense-lowering buffs.This can be bypassed to an extent by inflicting Ichor and/or holding a melee weapon while the Sharpened buff is active. The Blade Staff's high armor penetration allows it to stay relevant against most Hardmode enemies, but due to its low base damage, its damage per hit will quickly dwindle to almost nothing as soon as enemy defenses start to exceed 25.On the other hand, non-summoners will not be impressed with its damage output at all, though it can still be very useful for stun-locking enemies. It is also a decent choice for melee users, who can passively increase its damage output with the Sharpened buff and Flask of Ichor. The Blade Staff does not benefit much from percentage-based damage bonuses, but it is still useful on dedicated summoner sets because it does not suffer from piercing invincibility frames and benefits greatly from whips.However, considering the Blade Staff's difficulty to obtain as a summoner, the Spider Staff may be a better option to obtain first. Thanks to its armor penetration, the Blade Staff is a great weapon for summoners in early-to-mid Hardmode.Like the Sanguine Staff and Terraprisma, the Blade Staff's precise movement, tracking and fixed idle position make it an ideal choice for assisting the player with faster bosses and for crowd control.Despite this, they are still arguably more dependent on tag damage than any other minion.
The daggers only gain 75% of the damage from whip tags, including the tag applied by Dark Harvest.However, this also means it has very poor synergy with the Firecracker. For example, the daggers synergize very well with Dark Harvest due to the "dark energy" it applies, dealing high DPS against multiple targets.The Enchanted Daggers benefit massively from whips that increase minion damage, as most of them can more than double its DPS due to the low base damage but high attack rate.Unlike most minions, the daggers will immediately return to the user's side, preventing them from getting stuck behind blocks and blocking the minion's field of vision.Each dagger triggers custom invulnerability frames on the target, maximizing damage output from the minions. The Blade Staff's minions attack at an extraordinarily fast rate compared to other summon weapons, hitting around four times per second.
