Notes:

A unique helm that gives up its speedy ability and some of its defense to summon 3 bees to help you in battle. It also gives a hefty speed boost to compensate for the loss of Speedy.

Helm activation

The bees orbit you for 6 seconds and inflict 120 damage each every 0.6 seconds each to anything near them by firing short-ranged beams at them (range of 4.5 tiles). These beams are not projectiles, so will never miss. Each bee will perform this damage separately, so at 0 defense this helm will give 600 dps. Note that the bees’ damage does not ignore defense. In addition, after being active for 1.6 seconds the red bee’s next attacks will apply the Curse effect. However, the Curse can only affect up to 3 targets at any given time.

Overall, this helm is useful when DPS is your main priority and speed / survivability are not. These bees can churn immense DPS, along with a curse effect, not to mention that curse increases the bee’s damage output. It can also be desirable in fights like the Killer Bee Queen or Marble Colossus, where the mobility from a tiered helm would be detrimental

History
Before Exalt Version 1.5.0.0 (May 2021), this item had a cooldown of 7.5 seconds, the Red Bee only had a 50% chance of applying Curse, and the bees were not summons.
