The Flinx Staff can be used in a platformed battlefield. For players running a Summoners build it’s strongly encouraged to use others weapons as only the Whip is a viable choice at this point. It’s hard to obtain good summons at this point that can penetrate the Eye of Cthulhu’s armor and most of the good weapons are hard to come by.

Summoners are in for a really tough fight. Weapons that deal damage over time or launch projectiles are strongly recommended. Melee Builds will do well against the Servants but struggle against the Eye of Cthulhu. Amethyst/Topaz (will not penetrate the 1st Phase armor).Diamond/Ruby/Emerald/Sapphire (do enough damage to overcome the 1st Phase armor).For those going this route there are some things to consider: Players are also unlikely to have a good staff when compared to other weapons. Magic works great against the Eye of Cthulhu but struggles a bit against the Servants. Shurikens (can kill a Servant and hit the Eye of Cthulhu once or twice).Throwing Weapons are also fantastic weapons as they let the player fight at a range. Flaming Arrows (causes damage over time through Burning).Jester’s Arrow (allows the player to pierce the Servants and hit the Eye of Cthulhu in one shot).Frostburn (do the best damage and inflict Frostburn).The following Arrows are highly recommended: Gold Bows or Platinum Bows should be easy to obtain this early and do well. There are a number of options at this point in the game and depending on the player’s build and playstyleīows are probably the best as they can pierce Servants and damage the Eye of Cthulhu while it flies around or floats above the player.
