TESLA
TESLA is a special mole in BONK! The Mole Show, the pixel-art whack-a-mole roguelite.
Level 1
When bonked, lightning jumps to another mole.
Level 2
The lightning jumps to a second mole.
Mutation A: FORKED
It throws ONE arc that splits in two: its target throws a branch of its own. Set off by a reaction, it throws at most 6 arcs per chain.
Mutation B: CONDUCTOR
Picks the targets that keep the chain going: specials and crowded clusters.
Appears in recipes
| Chemistry recipe | With | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Every explosion throws lightning from the holes it hit, arcing to moles beyond the blast. | ||
| Electrified targets drag the next jump toward them: nearby moles are pulled beside each zap target. | ||
| A visible Ghost relays a Tesla discharge (up to 3 per chain, each Ghost once): it zaps again from its own hole and stays on stage. | ||
| After every zap the current jumps to the nearest clock-marked mole (3 holes) and leaves a fresh mark beside it. | ||
| The 2nd BONK on a Tesla throws an extra electric branch to a target its first arc missed. | ||
| Once per chain, a Tesla arc hands its reaction to a Ricochet ball, and a ball hit hands it to a Tesla arc. | ||
| Every prong that lands on a mole starts a Tesla arc from its hole. | ||
| Tesla arcs are drawn into Capacitors, and every stored arc is released as ONE giant fork. | ||
| A Tesla dragged or fused by the Grip discharges: 2 arcs BONK the nearest moles (specials first). |
Resonance
- OVERLOAD: One of those bolts can land as a fresh Tesla discharge.
- MAGNETIC STORM: The last target becomes a strong Magnet: it pulls the survivors in twice.
- PHANTOM CURRENT: The phantom current can pass once through a target that was already used, and keep going.
- TICKING CIRCUIT: Up to 6 jumps a chain, and each jump leaves 2 fresh marks.
- CHARGED TAP: The branch forks in two, and every mole it kills discharges like a Tesla.
- CHAIN REACTION: The reaction ping-pongs: two passes each way per chain.
- TRI-ARC: When both prongs land, the strike hole throws a third arc: one per tine.
- STORED LIGHTNING: The fork ends in thunder: a real Tesla discharge from its first two targets.
- ARC FUSION: 4 arcs per discharge.
Tips
- A special mole takes one of your 4 mole slots; once owned it starts appearing among the normal moles.
- At Level 2 you choose its final form: FORKED or CONDUCTOR, or one of its 9 chemistry recipes.
- Its BONKs count as the ELECTRIC family.
- It is in the base pool: it can be offered from your first run.
