The Ant Queen Staff is a Tier 3, two-handed Staff made of Fire Ant Queen Pheromones from the Fire Ant Queen. It fires gravity effected acidic goo that deals 50 burning damage. The goo also has a small AoE, meaning it can hit multiple close together enemies. Though fundamentally its similar to the Spicy Staff, it cannot be charged and rather shoots a steady projectile at roughly 1 a second. This makes it faster than the Staff, but doesn't inflict Spicy damage.
However, it is worth noting that using a staff has a "delay" after attacking. Once you attack with the staff, you have a brief waiting period or animation before you can attack again. During this time between launching an attack and the next attack, you cannot block as you can with other equipment where animation canceling is possible. This makes battling with the staff more challenging, particularly in situations where perfect blocking is essential.
Despite being given the +Attack Stamina effect from the Whittle Wizard mutation, it does not gain a special bonus from the mutation like the other staves.
