Notes
Previously, this staff had a much higher amplitude, giving it a unique wave-like firing pattern that made it difficult to aim as its two shots moved away from the center of aim. Usage of this staff was recommended in The Shatters as it could shoot around walls. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fip0WljcNtQ. It also had a rate of fire decrease and a shorter range.

In Exalt Version 1.5.0.0, the staff received a major change, giving it slighly lower damage in exchange for a greatly reduced amplitude, slightly higher range, and no fire-rate decrease. This makes it much easier to aim, though it’s still more difficult to hit targets with than a tiered staff. Its main use is that it is one of only two staves that hits multiple targets, making it good for clearing hordes of enemies or to clear walls such those from the Snake Pit or Oryx’s Castle.

Its +3 SPD can be useful if you are looking for a speed buff to rush WC; combined with the Water Dragon Silk Robe and a Candy Ring, a Wizard for example can have a nice 69 speed to rush with.

Another interesting thing to note is that equipping this staff completely negates the Speed loss of the Skullish Remains of Esben.
