Bouncing Catfish

Unlock fish: Catfish
Cooldown: ~10 sec (shorter at higher domain tier)

Overview

Right-click throws bouncing catfish affected by gravity. Each landing meows; they explode on contact or after a timeout.

Research note

This fish seems to have a particular fondness for honey.

Mechanics

Right-click with cooldown ready (about 10 seconds base, down to about 5 seconds with domain layers) throws 3 plus domain layers bouncing catfish in a fan toward your aim. Each meows on landing, seeks enemies within about 44 tiles, hops after them with occasional spin hops, and lives about 9 seconds. On hit or expiry, each explodes in about 10 tiles for about 120% weapon damage plus 30% per domain layer. Worm body segments take half damage.

Tips

Shorter cooldown and larger blasts make this good for frequent right-click harassment. Multiple fish landing together cover an area better than bunny fish for mob cleanup.
