Fargo's Mod/Super Dummy

The Super Dummy is a craftable pre-Hardmode summoning item which spawns a Super Dummy when used with left-click. Due to the Super Dummy enemy's high resilience and inability to harm the player (despite being an enemy), it is considered an improved alternative to the Target Dummy. It features several practical advantages to Target Dummies, including more accurate DPS numbers when using the DPS Meter, the ability for weapon projectiles to home in on it, and the ability for minions to target it.

Tips

 * It can be useful to activate the special effects of weapons, such as the lifesteal of Vampire Knives, or weapons that grant buffs on hit.

Trivia

 * The Super Dummy is also present in the Calamity Mod, identical save for its crafting recipe.
