Minions

Minions are secondary characters and the main vessel of attack for the Summoner class. The Calamity Mod adds several new minions that can be summoned with weapons, accessories or armor sets.

Weapons

Summon weapons are weapons which summon a minion to fight for the player. They act similarly to magic weapons in that they consume mana, but while magic weapons deal damage directly from the weapon, summon weapons attack autonomously from the player's input and targets can be manually switched with the Interact (defaults to right click) key to a different target. All minions will do 25% less damage if the player is holding a weapon belonging to a different class. However, summon damage will increase by 10% when holding onto a summoning weapon.

The mod currently adds 8 Pre-Hardmode, 7 Hardmode, and 7 Post-Moon Lord summon weapons along with 4 Hardmode and 1 Post-Moon Lord sentry weapon.
