The Piaola Gavel in "Cecilia" is a highly effective polearm in the game. It's an upgraded version of the Ember Stick, with a special effect that generates a ring of fire when inflicting burn, attacking enemies within a 5-tile radius for 10 seconds. The damage deals 40% of fire attribute damage every 0.5 seconds, increasing with additional damage from the burn status effect.
How to Play the Burning Stick Weapon in Cecilia
For offense, I know the burning stick applies burn damage while standing still. For defense, it seems to rely on the staff's special attacks to dodge damage.
There are two ways to restore mana: kill quickly or block frequently by right-clicking. Alternatively, for a safer run, you can equip Bloodstone Earrings. High damage output boosts lifesteal efficiency, so once built up, blocking ensures you recover health faster than you lose it.
If all else fails, invest five points into MP Recovery and five into MP Absorption to restore mana, though personally, I don't think it's very meaningful.
The core components are Lava Beads, Red Yarn, Fireflies, Oak Charcoal, Fire Panels, Warm Stones, Spiked Clubs, Sword Earrings, and Critical Hit Rate.
Pairing this with a Bloodstone makes it truly invincible, especially in regular stages. You can enter with half health and leave with full health, sometimes even gaining extra health from defeating minor enemies.
