The Conflagrate Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon that has a chance to be dropped from any Treasure Bags opened in Hardmode. It summons a spinning fiery construct to fight for you. The minion attacks by charging through enemies and shreds them at a quick rate.
Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stats bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only significant advantage a Mythical Conflagrate Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
