Weapons & Equip The Polar Shovel - A Shovel Knight Homage

[TheQuietBisharp]

I got this idea while I was outside shoveling snow. We all know this guy, correct?

(Thanks for fixing it up @Pumpking!)
Well, my idea is for his shovel to be a rare drop (1%) from wolves in a Snow biome, as they look alike to the wolves in Polar Knight's level. It can also be dropped by Armored Vikings, since that is where Polar Knight's inspiration came from. It will be a Hardmode drop that does 60 melee damage and casts a snowball similar to a boulder that does 60 damage as well. A suggestion by @SzGamer227, the Polar Shovel will use SnowBlocks for ammunition. I know, people hate RNG but it's a referential item, it isn't meant to be common.

Thanks to @Robotoh for the sprite!
Thank you for viewing my suggestion, and if you have anything to add, leave it below! Good day, ladies and gents!

We now have a support banner!

If anybody could sprite a Terraria style shovel for this, I'll be forever in your debt.

Would it also be able to dig, or is it just a melee weapon?

Edit: Mayby it should dig up several tiles at the same time instead of the normal 1 by 1.
Kinda like a small bomb...?

As its meant to be a weapon, I think it would annoy people trying to use it nearby their own structures.

Same goes for hammers and axes that are meant for fighting, but they exist.

But yeah, the shovel would be even more annoying with its extra tile each....scoop...

I think I might add this to the Undead Viking's loot table (or his Hardmode equivalent, don't remember what it is)

What's that? But thanks for your support.

If you read it, it doesn't even dig. It's a weapon.

@TheQuietBisharp Saying someone digs something means they like it. I'm saying I like this thread. :b

I meant what SnailsAttack was talking about. What was that emblem thing though?
Edit: now I see the red print. I'm colorblind

Haha oh! It's green print. I didn't realize I made the colors to close.

I know, but this game doesn't have shovels.

Well, okay? That doesn't mean it couldn't be implemented.

Why thank you! It looks exactly as I envisioned.

 

[TheBlueness]

Shovel. Hmmmm. Seems sort of useless. I actually like the idea of the Shovel digging up dirt faster better.

It's a little basic and when I have more time I can make it look a little nicer.

*Facepalm* It's a weapon. A referential weapon. Do you think it would be easy to mine dirt when it launches an icy boulder every time you swing?
