How to craft it

=14Anvil

the bees are the point

Roughly a third of your hits release a bee that goes hunting on its own. It picks the nearest target, retargets mid-flight if something closer wanders in, ricochets off walls a few times, and sticks around long enough to matter in a drawn-out fight. Because the yoyo can sit parked on an enemy while you move, the bee output builds up steadily without you doing anything extra.

water kills it

Bees pop the moment they touch water or lava. That makes this a bad pick for the ocean, for flooded caves, and for anything you plan to fight over a lava pool. On dry ground it loses nothing.

the accessory that doubles it

The Hive Pack upgrades half the swarm into the larger bee, which hits harder, flies faster, knocks enemies around properly and survives more bounces. If you intend to use this yoyo at all, that accessory is the single biggest thing you can do for it, and Queen Bee hands you both in the same trip. Her Beenades can be shimmered back into wax if you come up short on materials.

reforging

Two different modifiers come out even here, one adding damage and the other speed. Take whichever you roll first rather than spending more coins chasing the other.
