The Salt Killifish Staff is a Hardmodesummon weapon acquired rarely from fishing in Salt Caves. It summons a salt killifish minion that acts similarly to the cloudfish summoned by the Stormcore, flying loosely around the player and charging at nearby enemies, bouncing off of terrain. On impact, it will apply a brief Dessicating debuff that stacks with each consecutive hit, preventing life regeneration and causing rapid damage with a Confused-like reversing effect after enough hits. Like other minions, the summoned salt killifish is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, exits the world, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff.
