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

Hive-Five is a yoyo that can extend up to 14 tiles away from the player. It can last up to 11 seconds before returning to the player. Upon striking an enemy, it has a 33.33*1/3 (33.33%) chance of summoning a single friendly Bee projectile that attacks nearby enemies. The Bee projectile deals 50% of the yoyo's damage (12 base damage).[1]

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

Notes

  • The Bee projectiles from the Hive-Five have a 50*1/2 (50%) chance to deal 1 extra damage, can pierce enemies or ricochet off solid blocks 3 times in total, and last 10 seconds. With the Hive Pack equipped, all Bee projectiles have a 50*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]

Trivia

  • Its spin duration, reach and movement speed is identical to the Valor.
  • This is the first yoyo to be added to the game since 1.3.0.1.
  • Its name is a play on words of high five.
