Arctic Hydra Staff

The Arctic Hydra Staff is a Hardmode summon weapon. It summons a floating Arctic Hydra Head that follows the player that can shoot an arctic bolt at nearby enemies while enemies who touch the head will take damage.

While in the Etherial Dimension after Etheria has been defeated, it doubles the damage and player's aggro statistic.

The Arctic Hydra Staff is unusual in that successive summoned heads cost fewer minion slots. Its best Modifier is Ruthless or Mythical; Ruthless provides a smaller array of stronger stat bonuses, and Mythical has a wider array of stat bonuses that are weaker than the former.
