Minions are secondary characters and the main vessel of attack for the Summoner class. The Calamity Mod adds a variety of new minions that can be summoned with weapons, accessories or armor sets.
Summon weapons are weapons which usually summon a friendly minion, attacking enemies by themselves. Summon weapons will only consume mana upon using the weapon item itself. Targets can be manually switched with the Interact (defaults to right click) key. All summon weapons will do 25% less damage if the player is holding a weapon belonging to a different class. Tools and classless weapons will not inflict the penalty when held, and certain armor reduces the summoner penalty altogether.
The mod currently adds 21 Pre-Hardmode, 26 Hardmode, and 35 Post-Moon Lord summon weapons along with 5 Pre-Hardmode, 6 Hardmode, and 5 Post-Moon Lord sentry weapons. The mod does not currently add any whips.
