Storm Tot

#Overview

Storm Tot is the evolved form of Static Tot. Each weapon hit has a 15% chance to arc lightning up to 6 jumps, reaching enemies within 90 units of the last one. Each enemy reached takes 80% of the original hit's damage, and a thunderclap at each one deals 40% of the hit to every enemy within 24 units. You get it by holding Static Tot with Root Network at level 5 and opening a chest. Every Static Tot you hold becomes a Storm Tot, and Static Tot then stops dropping.

The enemy struck by a jump is also inside its own thunderclap, so it takes 1.2× the original hit in total. A full six-jump chain deals at least 7.2× the hit, more when the claps catch extra enemies.^[1]

#How it works

• Targets and trigger work as for Static Tot: each jump picks the nearest enemy not yet hit by this chain, only weapon hits can start a chain, and the chain stops when nothing is in range.
• Rate limit. At most 12 arcs per second per copy, compared with 16 for Static Tot. With n copies the chance is 1 − 0.85^n.
• Measured (build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, headless tools/play.mjs, standard mode, normal difficulty; copies added directly with giveItem, skipping the evolution; 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): 14.8% of 16,870 rolls fired an arc with one copy (expected 15%), and 39.1% of 12,280 with three (expected 38.6%). The 12-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 5.5–9.3 arcs per second.
• Size. Jump range and clap radius both grow with the square root of Tibo's area multiplier. Clap hits cause a little knockback; arc hits cause none.

#Tips

• The thunderclaps make it much better than Static Tot in tight crowds, where each clap hits several enemies.
• Root Network's recovery (+1.25 HP per second at level 5) is useful on its own, so the catalyst is rarely a wasted slot.

#Effect

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

#Obtaining

• Hold Static Tot with Root Network at level 5, then open a chest. See Evolutions.
