The Hive is a Pre-Hardmode shamanic weapon that has a chance to be dropped by the Queen Bee. As with all shamanic weapons, The Hive's attacks are fired from a catalyst, whose position and direction are based on the position of the cursor.

On use, The Hive fires a ball of honey that is affected by gravity and can stick to tiles. The honey balls may additionally spawn a homing bee projectile upon hitting an enemy. For each active element the player has, the number of bees spawned increases by 1, up to a maximum of 6 bees. Each bee deals a base of 10 shamanic damage.

Upon successfully hitting 5 enemies, the player will gain a honey orb. The honey orb will grow larger as they continue to strike enemies. After 20 hits, the following strike will cause the honey orb to explode into 12 bee projectiles.

If the player has the Honey buff, the damage of the weapon increases by 25%. With the Hive Pack, bees from the honey ball or the honey orb have a 50% chance to become stronger, dealing 15% additional damage.

Damaging non-Target Dummy enemies will grant the player the Water Element for a length of time.

Its best modifier is Ethereal.

Notes

• Each bee that can be released from a honey ball has a 25% chance of actually spawning.
• With the effect of the Treasured Baubles or its upgrade active, the honey orb will be formed after the first strike instead of the fifth.
