The Eel-rod is a magic weapon that 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. It can be bought from the Diver after both The Queen Jellyfish and Skeletron have been defeated.

Because the Eel-rod has no knockback, it cannot have any modifiers that affect knockback, including Mythical and Ruthless.

Its best modifier is Demonic.

Notes

  • There are a total of 4 sparks per spray.
  • 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.
