The Eel-rod is a magic weapon that is sold by the Diverman for 7 after Skeletron has been defeated. On use, it fires a spread of 5 short-ranged electric sparks. These sparks have a chance to inflict the Paralyzed debuff, very briefly disabling enemy movement. Bosses are immune to this effect.
Its best modifier is Demonic for damage output, or Mystic for mana conservation because it cannot get modifiers that affect knockback.
Notes
- The sparks travel in straight lines but spread out the further they travel. This makes the rod function effectively as a shotgun, being more proficient at close range or against groups of enemies.
Trivia
- The Eel-rod is a reference to the electric eel. It is universally known for being able to store and discharge electricity, which is the inspiration for this weapon.
