Summoners have seen a lot of hate all throughout Terraria’s history. They have always been squishy and a bit difficult to master. If you’re starting a summoner playthrough, it’s best if you have the best equipment to unleash your full potential. Here are our Top 10 Terraria Best Accessories for Summoners and How to Get Them.
10. Charm of Myths
Survivability is one of the top priorities of summoners at any point in the game. This is why the Charm of Myths is a great addition to the summoner’s arsenal. It adds a good amount of health regen while reducing the Potion Sickness debuff, enabling you to use health potions faster.

- Getting faster heal cooldowns is necessary to stay alive as a squishy class
Item Description and Stats:

9. Volatile Gelatin
Fighting off hordes of enemies is not a summoner’s strong suit. This is especially true since you don’t really have a way to “shoo” off enemies that get too close. That is why the Volatile Gelatin is a great addition to your player as it shoots off projectiles that protect you when things get too dicey.
What’s good about the Volatile Gelatin:
- Defends you from enemies that get too close
- Great for farming the Dungeon as it has very good knockback for countering Bone Lees
Item Description and Stats:
- Releases volatile gelatin periodically that damages enemies
- 65 Damage, 7 (Strong) knockback
- Fires every 0.833 seconds (50 ticks)

Another option to get enemies off of your tail is the Spore Sac. This ingenious accessory spawns flying spores around the player which deal massive damage on enemy contact. You won’t have a problem dealing with mobs getting too close with this thing on.
What’s good about the Spore Sac:
- Excellent for keeping mobs off of you
- Spores home in when enemies get too close
Item Description and Stats:
- Summons spores over time that will damage enemies

7. Avenger Emblem
Now that we have the defensive accessories out of the way, let’s move on to boosting our damage. The Avenger Emblem is a good one for this due to the simple fact that it adds 12% more damage for all sources. We don’t even need to upgrade it to the Destroyer Emblem as Critical Strike chance does not affect minions. (Except when using the Kaleidoscope whip)
What’s good about the Avenger Emblem:
- Percentile damage increase means it’s useful all the way to post-Moon Lord.
- Stacks with other emblem accessories.
Item Description and Stats:
- Increases all damage by 12%

What’s good about the Summoner Emblem:
- Pure damage, baby!

4. Hercules Beetle
Alright, we’re getting to the good stuff. The Hercules Beetle functions just a bit better than the Summoner Emblem but is also a part of a crafting tree for the best summoner accessories. It adds extra knockback so things don’t suddenly swarm you when you’re vulnerable.

3. Necromantic Scroll
This is the second item that combines with the Hercules Beetle which doesn’t give that much in terms of damage but adds an extra minion slot for more chaos. The Necromantic Scroll is the better choice since more minions equal more damage. Although, you’ll want to get two of these. You’ll see why in a bit.
What’s good about the Necromantic Scroll:
- Adds more minion damage and an extra minion slot
Item Description and Stats:
- Increases minion damage by 10%
- +1 Minion Slot

2. Papyrus Scarab
The Papyrus Scarab is the combined form of the Hercules Beetle and the Necromantic Scroll. Although its damage bonus is still the same as the beetle’s, the extra minion slot is enough to keep this accessory on your list.
