Bee Wax assembly and buzzing swarm releases
Crafted at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil using fourteen Bee Wax dropped by Queen Bee, the Hive-Five is an insect-themed yoyo. Hurling the spool deals 24 base melee damage with 3.75 knockback at a Fast cyclic rate. While continuously spinning against an opponent, the yoyo periodically spawns friendly homing bees that fly toward nearby enemies.
Hive Pack resonance and yoyo progression
Representing a substantial direct upgrade over the jungle-crafted Amazon, the Hive-Five supplements direct single-target strikes with autonomous swarm chip damage. Equipping the Hive Pack accessory strengthens spawned bees into larger variants that hit harder. This swarm coverage makes the weapon effective during the Wall of Flesh encounter by clearing Hungry tendrils. Godly or Demonic provides the optimal modifier prefix to elevate critical chance and raw impact.
Trivia
- The Hive-Five was introduced in the 1.4.0 Journey's End update to complement Queen Bee weapon sets.
- Its playful name combines the high-five greeting with the five-sided hive honeycomb motif.
