Electric Eel being used against a group of Unicorns and Target Dummies. Note the spark bouncing between electified enemies.

The Electric Eel is a Hardmode whip with a tag effect of +12 damage, and it has a 5% multihit penalty. It also grants minions and sentries a fixed 5% chance to deal critical hits to tagged enemies. In addition, it has a special effect of marking enemies with electric energy on hit. Every second, marked enemies release damaging lightning that bounces between other nearby enemies that are also marked by electric energy, dealing 50–200 damage depending on how many nearby enemies are also marked.

The Electric Eel has a 1/6 (16.67%) chance of being dropped by Duke Fishron.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

  • The Electric Eel's mark is handled as a debuff internally (buff ID 362). Uniquely, it is considered a whip debuff: Enemies that are flagged as being immune to "all debuffs except whip debuffs" on this wiki, such as the The Destroyer, can be inflicted with this debuff and do take the extra damage.
  • The electric energy debuff deals 50 damage per second to enemies, with additional 50 damage for each enemy within 37.5 tiles that is also marked by the electric energy. The total debuff damage is capped at 200 damage per second with 3 or more marked enemies nearby.[1]
    • Whenever an enemy is damaged by this debuff, a visual lightning effect will jump from it towards up to 3 other marked enemies within 37.5 tiles. This effect is purely visual and the actual damage is only dealt by the debuff itself.
    • Similar to other whip tags, this debuff is applied for 4 seconds.
