Static Tot

#Overview

Static Tot is an uncommon item that makes some of Tibo's weapon hits arc lightning. Each weapon hit has a 10% chance to jump to the nearest other enemy within 70 units, then on from there, up to 3 jumps. Each enemy the arc reaches takes 90% of the original hit's damage. With no luck it is about 2.6% of random item rolls (25% Uncommon × 8/78).

The damage does not fall off along the chain: every jump copies 90% of the triggering hit. So a full chain adds up to 2.7× that hit, spread over three extra enemies.

It evolves into Storm Tot when Root Network is at level 5 and you open a chest (see Evolutions).

#How it works

• Targets. Each jump goes to the nearest enemy within range of the previous one that this chain has not hit yet. The enemy that was originally hit is excluded. The chain stops early when nothing is in range.^[1]
• What can trigger it. Only hits from Tibo's weapons. Item effects, thorns and dogs cannot trigger it, so arcs do not set off further arcs or Spicy Croquette blasts.
• Rate limit. Besides the 10% roll, it can fire at most 16 times per second. The limit refills continuously and holds at most one second's worth.
• Stacking. With n copies the chance is 1 − 0.9^n and the cap is 16 × n per second: 19% with two, 27.1% with three. Jumps, range and damage do not change.
• Measured (build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, headless tools/play.mjs, standard mode, normal difficulty; copies added with giveItem; Peeler, Small Fry, Tot Toss, Chip Shuriken, Starch Chain and Seeker Sprouts each given 5 times with give; warp(240); HP refilled every tick; Tibo walking a slow circle; later level-ups taking the first offer; 180 s on seeds s1–s5): 9.8% of 21,863 rolls fired an arc with one copy (expected 10%), and 27.2% of 19,143 with three (expected 27.1%). The 16-per-second limit was not reached: even with the chance set to 100% in the scenario, these weapons and a second set (Steam Vent, Whisk Vortex, Sprout Satellites, Gravy Boat, Salt Line, Butter Streak) triggered only 9–13 arcs per second.
• Range grows with the square root of Tibo's area multiplier. Arc hits cause no knockback and can crit on their own.

#Tips

• It needs other enemies nearby, so it is strongest against crowds and weak against a lone boss.
• While you hold it, Root Network is offered more often on level-up cards (×4 weight) (see Level-up).

#Effect

Trigger: onHit (when a weapon hits an enemy). Raw parameters:

#Obtaining

• Items come from points of interest such as the Fry Cart vendor, Potato Crates, the Microwave and Tater Slots, and from loot runners (Golden Scarab, Lost Saucer). Ordinary chests never give a new item; they can only evolve one you already hold. Rarity weights: Common 59, Uncommon 25, Rare 10, Epic 4, Legendary 2.
