Terraria (Wiki): Spinal Tap

Everything you need to know

General Information

The Spinal Tap is a whip that pierces and damages multiple enemies. The last enemy hit by the Spinal Tap is targeted by summoned sentries and minions, amplified with +7ATK. A 10% damage reduction penalty is also applied to consecutive hits.

During combat, the Spinal Tap synergizes well with any summon count boosting accessories or the Obsidian Armor, making the whip more lethally effective. It is also a great option against the Wall of Flesh before obtaining stronger whips in Hardmode. 

Because of the Spinal Tap’s low damage reduction penalty, it is considered great for waves of enemies.

The Spinal Tap is best modified with Legendary to improve all stats.
