\n\nNotes<\/b>\nUpon first glance, this staff appears to be blatantly overpowered. It shoots 4 fireballs in a cone which inflict enormous damage and pierce through targets at a large range.\n\nHowever, the catch is that all the shots fire **backwards**, meaning you have to aim behind you in order to fire at enemies. This creates a dilemma where you have to choose between aiming your ability or blasting enemies with the staff. Of course, you could just use it like an [Extreme Prejudice](\/wiki\/staff-of-extreme-prejudice), but the E.P. is usually better for that purpose.\n\nDespite its drawback, it is still undoubtedly powerful, boasting extraordinarily high DPS and crowd-control abilities. If you can hit all shots, this staff far surpasses every staff except the aformentioned E.P.\n\nAbilities that create lasting, stationary effects are the most effective with this staff. The [Genesis Spell](\/wiki\/genesis-spell), [Orb of Conquest](\/wiki\/orb-of-conquest) and [Sporous Spray Spell](\/wiki\/sporous-spray-spell) do their work whenever you are firing backwards or not.\n\n* Mystics are likely the best users of this staff. Once a boss gets cursed, you can continue firing backwards.\n* For Necromancers, the skull's radius may be large enough to hit an enemy while firing at true range. With a debuff skull, like [Skull of Corrupted Souls](\/wiki\/skull-of-corrupted-souls), it can play similarly to mystic.\n* On a Wizard, this staff tends to be a poor choice, considering the damage output of spells. A regular staff and decent spell usage tends to do more damage. Even with a stationary spell, like the Sporous Spray Spell, any time aiming your ability is time not shooting your staff.\n\nFor all three classes, this staff can be useful in niche purposes, like rushing or clearing gods.\n\n{{template-cultist-necromancer-set-navigation}}\n{{template-staff-navigation}}","{{template-item-header\n|name=Staff of Unholy Sacrifice\n|externalIcon=\/\/imgur.com\/jsi1jrb.png\n|projName=Cultist Fire Shot\n|externalProjIcon=\/\/imgur.com\/Tw07jN2.png\n|desc=A commanding staff used by vile cult leaders.
