The Tesla Coil is a post-Moon Lord wand found inside High Security Laboratory Crates in the Abandoned Lab. When used, it fires 2 to 3 lightning bolts that deal damage in a small area around their striking point, with their behavior changing depending on the current mode. The mode can be switched between Multi-target and Single target by pressing ⚷ Open / Activate. Additionally, lightning bolts inflict the Electrified debuff and ignore 50% of the enemy's defense. The initial use of Tesla Coil will consume 20 mana, with continuous use draining 60 mana per second (3 mana 20 times per second).
Multi-target mode makes lightning bolts strike randomly around the player, with a 33.33% chance to choose a nearby enemy as a target.
Single target mode focuses all fired lightning bolts on the cursor.
Its best modifier is Mythical.
