The Diamond Staff in use.

The Diamond Staff is the strongest of the 7 different gem/bar staffs. It does a high amount of damage, has a high fire rate, pierces 1 enemy, is auto-fire, and has a medium mana cost, making it a viable magic weapon in the early game if the resources to craft it can be found.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• If your world generated with Gold Ore, you will have to make the Ruby Staff instead, unless you can gather enough Platinum Ore with the Extractinator, collect it from another world, collect it from slimes, or get platinum through fishing crates.
• The bolts fired from the Diamond Staff (and other gem staffs, as well as the Spectre Staff) can pass through the slanted side of sloped blocks.
• This is the strongest of the gems staffs.
