The Ant Queen Scepter is a Tier 2, one-handed Hammer. It deals Generic Damage.

It has one of the weakest base damage of all weapons in the game, but also has the +Summon HP effect. After hitting an enemy, this effect increases the maximum health of nearby creatures, summoned by the player, by 100 HP.

Do note that this does not extend the overall lifetime of summoned creatures. They will still naturally die after a certain amount of time.

The Ant Queen Scepter is most useful for weaker summons such as Spiderlings from Mom Genes or Red Soldier Ants from Red Strategist Armor.

Trivia

• The Ant Queen Scepter oddly has and is the only weapon to have jiggle physics, specifically on the blue pheromone gem on its top.
• In the original trailer for 1.4, the Ant Queen Scepter can be seen, though it is oddly a green coloration similar to that of the Fire Ant Queens items rather than the blue all other Red Ant Queen items follow.
• The Ant Queen Scepter uses the original model of the Strategist's Scepter, the cut weapon of the a planned Ant Queen boss, though with its functionality heavily changed and area of progression changed.
