The Hive-Five being used against Skeletons. Note the homing bees.

The Hive-Five is a pre-Hardmode yoyo that, upon striking an enemy, has a 1/3 (33.33%) chance of summoning a single friendly Bee projectile that attacks nearby enemies. This Bee projectile deals 50% of the weapon's base damage (12 damage),[1] has a 1/2 (50%) chance to deal 1 extra damage, can pierce enemies or ricochet off solid blocks three times in total, and lasts for 10 seconds.

It has a spin duration of 11 seconds and can reach up to 14 tiles.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

Notes

  • With the Hive Pack equipped, all Bee projectiles have a 1/2 (50%) chance to be converted into Giant Bee projectiles, which always deal 1–3 extra damage, have a knockback of 0.5 (Extremely weak), can pierce enemies or ricochet off solid blocks 4 times in total, fly noticeably faster, and last 11 seconds. Both kinds of bee projectiles will dissipate immediately on contact with water or lava.[2]
