Dungeons:Battlestaff

A battlestaff is a melee weapon that can be found within the various missions of Minecraft Dungeons. Its unique variants are the battlestaff of terror and the growing staff. Due to the 10 hit combo and fast striking, stackable damage enchantments and chance on hit enchantments are especially effective with this weapon. These include Void Strike, Committed, Fire Aspect, Radiance, Thundering, Critical Hit, Echo, and Stunning.
