Items Imp Staff upgrades – Cursed Imp Staff & Ichor Imp Staff

[noobsqoou⛏️]

The Imp Staff received a nice buff in 1.4, but I have a feeling that it still will struggle in early hardmode. I know that the Spider Staff, Blade Staff, Sanguine Staff, and Pirate Staff are all available pre-mech, but:

• The Spider Staff really works best with background walls
• The Blade Staff is a rare drop from a rare Underground Hallow enemy
• The Sanguine Staff and Pirate Staff are locked behind randomly-occurring events that are pretty brutal for players using pre-mech gear

As such, I'd like to suggest two pre-mech upgrades for the Imp Staff that would be fairly straight-forward to acquire . . .

Cursed Imp Staff

• Crafted using the Imp Staff, 20 Cursed Flames, 15 Souls of Night at an Iron/Lead anvil
• Deals 26 damage and 3 knockback
• Inflicts Cursed Inferno debuff for 5 seconds
• Works in liquids

Ichor Imp Staff

• Crafted using the Imp Staff, 20 Ichor, 15 Souls of Night at an Iron/Lead anvil
• Deals 26 damage and 3 knockback
• Inflicts Ichor debuff for 5 seconds
• Works in liquids

The numbers are just placeholders of course. The original Imp fireballs have infinite piercing, so it might be necessary to limit or even remove piercing for these upgraded versions.

Lemme know what y'all think.
