Duke Fishron drop mechanics and infinite spin time

Kraken is an endgame melee weapon dropped by Duke Fishron or found inside the boss's Treasure Bag. The yoyo possesses an infinite spin duration, remaining aloft until the user releases the attack key or suffers significant interruption. With a tether reach of 21 tiles, it strikes with rapid continuous hits while granting the wielder an innate 14% critical strike chance.

Critical strike advantages and endgame yoyo rankings

Inflicting 120 base melee damage alongside 4.3 knockback, Kraken hits harder on individual strikes than The Eye of Cthulhu, trading two tiles of tether length for superior baseline critical likelihood. Equipping a Yoyo Bag adds a second orbiting yoyo and flying counterweights, vastly expanding crowd clearing capabilities against Lunar Event invaders. Godly or Demonic stands as the top reforge choice for yoyo builds.

Trivia

  • Kraken is named after the mythical Nordic sea monster and fits the aquatic marine theme of Duke Fishron.
  • It holds the highest innate critical strike chance of any yoyo in Terraria.
