The Goblin Summoner is an Enemy that can spawn when a Goblin Invasion occurs during Hardmode. It summons Shadowflame Apparitions to attack the player. It has a chance to drop weapons which are themed after Shadowflame, all of which accordingly inflict the Shadowflame Debuff.

Because of its high stats, uncommon appearance and relatively high difficulty compared to other Goblins, it is often considered a mini-boss.

Notes

• It can summon Shadowflame Apparitions, although it seems to need to be close to the player to do this. Otherwise, it will fire Chaos Balls at the player.
• It will try to close in on the player by jumping and dashing towards the player, also dealing contact damage.
• It can jump/fly quite high into the air (almost as high as a player with wings), but can be avoided by standing on a somewhat high platform and attacking it with ranged weapons.
• Knockback can stop the Goblin Summoner from flying to the player, which can be used with the aforementioned tactic to constantly attack the Summoner without it being able to get close.
• It can be easily defeated with a ranged weapon, a long platform suspended in the air, and hermes boots (or a unicorn mount/railway track). Simply run away from the summoner continuously - if it's constantly moving it won't summon the Shadowflame Apparitions.

Trivia

• Goblin Summoners appear to be the only goblin enemy depicted as female.
• Despite dropping various Shadowflame weapons, Summoners are never seen to use any of them in combat, not even the Shadowflame Hex Doll shown in their sprite.
