Where to find

• Carried by  Air Myrmidons

Notes

• This is item cannot be obtained without exploits, because Air Myrmidons are  Permanently Armed.
  • A previous exploit involving getting the myrmidon arrested has been patched out.
• The version carried by NPC Myrmidons (as opposed to wildshape or player summons) is neither enchanted, nor deals elemental damage.

Regarding Tenacity:

• If a weapon action misses, using Tenacity does not trigger its effects.
• As Tenacity deals weapon damage even if an attack misses, it can trigger many on-hit effects from equipment. For example, from the  Gloves of Power, the  Callous Glow Ring, weapon coatings, or any infusion from the  Ring of Elemental Infusion.

Regarding Electrified Flail:

• This weapon action has no recharge time or other limitations and is strictly better than the myrmidon's standard attack.

Bugs

• This weapon grants the  Tenacity passive, but as the  Tenacity reaction is not usable while polymorphed it will never trigger.

Regarding Tenacity:

• As  Horde Breaker (Melee) rolls invisible, zero-damage weapon attacks against all enemies in the Horde Breaker area of effect, Tenacity can be prompted to trigger against them even if the first attack hits. It is therefore possible to score 2 hits in one attack: the full attack against the original Horde Breaker target and a Tenacity hit against another target.
