Combat

Charge Attack

• Detonation Time: ~5 seconds
• Radius: ~4.5 tiles

Movement speed is not significantly hindered while charging up. Detonation produces a damaging core explosion with a small ~1.5 tile radius that immediately explodes outward into a larger ring of 8 shards with radius ~4.5 tiles. The central explosion causes minor knockback, usually just enough to push enemies into the second ring. Each shard in the ring explodes ~3 seconds after the central explosion and deal slightly more damage than the central explosion. Both the central explosion and shards in the outer ring have a chance to cause shock. Enemies dealt enough damage will be knocked down by both primary and secondary explosions.

Damage

The following damage values represent the weapon at its completed level, without any UV or bonus from other equipment, and are listed as a range found from the first to last floor of each stratum.

While the base damage for shard bombs are low, they increase substantially more with damage bonuses than other weapons do. See this DPS chart for details.
