| Slime Whip | 50 × Gel | Solidifier |
Solidifier extrusion and burning whip lashes
Fabricated at a Solidifier using 50 gel, the Slime Whip is a pre-hardmode summoner weapon added in version 1.4.5. It delivers a fluid lash at 30 use time, striking hostiles for 15 base summon damage and 1 knockback. Beyond inflicting 3 summon tag damage that boosts minion strikes, the tip of the whip crack has a chance to ignite enemies, setting them ablaze with burning fire damage as they are whipped.
Pre-hardmode whip tiers and tag damage scaling
Obtaining the Slime Whip requires defeating King Slime to secure the Solidifier crafting station, placing it between the Cobwhip and the Snapthorn in progression. Its burning debuff and summon tag bonus provide useful synergy when commanding minions against swarm enemies and early cavern threats. Unlike stingers and vines required for jungle gear, gel is abundant throughout all stages of play. Reforging the Slime Whip to Legendary maximizes its lash reach, attack speed, and impact.
Trivia
- The whip is crafted from solid gel, matching the aesthetic of furniture produced at the Solidifier.
- Its tip can ignite enemies with fire, reflecting the flammable nature of raw gel noted in its tooltip.
