The Staff of Explosion is a Hardmode magic weapon that creates a massive explosion at the cursor's location. It takes about 13 seconds to fully charge on the ground, but can be released sooner for a weaker explosion. However, if the player is moving, it can take up to around 48 seconds to fully charge it.
There are 16 stages of charging this weapon. Each *Tick* sound that appears every stage drains away 20 mana, the 20 mana cost scales the longer the weapon charges. If you run out of mana while charging this weapon, the explosion is automatically unleashed prematurely.
If you can fully charge the weapon with enough mana, unleashing the explosion attack will deal massive 5-hit damage, each hit from a fully charged explosion can exceed even up to 8,000 damage per non critical hit.
While casting, nearby enemies will be more likely to target the player. Its explosion will also push the player and other entities away.
Its best Modifier is Mythical.

Notes[ | ]
- A fully charged explosion with this weapon can actually knockback even bosses even with 100% knockback resistance. If you do this to the wall of flesh boss without killing it, the whole wall will actually turn around to the other way.
Trivia[ | ]
- The staff itself is a reference to the anime Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! In the show, the character Megumin uses explosion magic as her main and only weapon and the staff's shape and casting animation is modeled after her staff.
