Weapons & Equip Pygmy Whip - Voodoo Tag

[BluuMoon3]

Sold by the Witch Doctor after 2 mech bosses, the Pygmy Whip tags enemies with a "voodoo" effect. Each tagged enemy will receive damage done to any enemy your minions are doing damage to. In other words, your minions attacking one enemy will magically duplicate that damage and cast it to other enemies that are tagged. The amount of damage duplicated decreases with increasing numbers of Pygmy tagged enemies.

When tagging enemies I imagine that the effect could visually be similar to the Cool Whip, with a little tiki spirit that travels through enemies to tag them.

I can see it being balanced niche if it only takes raw pre-tagging damage (or Pygmy-tags affecting it as OP said). Leaning towards a support to this idea.

The problem with this is that there are three other whips obtainable at this stage of the game (Morningstar, Dark Harvest, Kaleidoscope). It's far too competitive of a spot in competitive for a new whip.

What would be a better spot? I made it Plantera mostly because I thought it was thematically fitting

Somewhere between the first Mechanical boss and Plantera. Theres only 1 whip at that point, since Durendal outperforms Cool Whip and Firecracker kinda does its own thing, so the competition could be good.

I'll make it so that it's sold by the Witch Doctor after 2 mech kills
