Idk why people are saying to swim away from your tame and use crossbows when you get attacked when crossbows have 36 dps and a pack of level 1 electrophoruses have almost triple of that plus if you are off your tame you will be caught in the electrophorus' shock aoe and also be stunned and most likely die in seconds.

But this is 2026 not 2019 so first of all downvtoe the tip that says that as it it outdated, and if you get caught off guard for some reason by electrophoruses while you are on your tame just attack with your tame until they either die or run away as all the electrophorus' "stun" effect does is just prevent you from sprinting and it no longer dismounts you, if you are lucky and you have a meg or ichthy you will survive with half health.

Also if you are on old mobile and you don't wanna lose a lot of health trying to kill them then just swim as fast as you can away from them until they disappear in your render distance as the stun effect from electrophoruses do not exist on old mobile.
