Hey guys, Dakota here! I want to suggest a new kind of magic weapon with a unique usage. I call it the Magic Bubble Blower!
Obtaining
In order to obtain the Magic Bubble Blower, you will need to craft it. In order to craft it, you need:
1 Bubble Wand
5 Bottled Water
20 Crystal Shards
20 Pixie Dust
5 Hallow Bars
Station: Crystal Ball
This is the finished product:
This is a shiny Hallowed bubble wand with a crystal tip and pink fluid in it's center.
Usage/Function
Now, what is this unique function you may ask? Well, it's no gun, I will tell you that! Once you use the Magic Bubble Blower, your body will be surrounded by a giant pink bubble, consuming 50 Mana in the process. While it uses a lot, this bubble will last five minutes!
Now, on how to use it, you simply move around with it! And with it around you, you have three basic attacks.
1: You can simply run into enemies with it to deal some damage
2: You have a small change of reflecting any enemy projectile. Of course, it's damage output will be slightly reduced, and it still needs to hit something.
3: A stomp attack of sorts. When you are in the air, hold Shift, and you will slam down in your bubble with incredible force! This does the most damage of all the other attacks. Once you hit the ground, you will float back up slightly. And if you are high up enough, you even shoot out a little shock wave once you hit the ground! It also ignored background tiles like Platforms, and only solid tiles will stop it.
You know you are using the stomp once the bubble has a pink glow/energy beneath it.
You will squish against the ground and bounce back up.
Though, this comes at a cost. Instead of being freely able to move around, the bubble has a sense of momentum you need to pick up. So if you walk, you will be moving very slowly, but slowly gain speed. And once you are moving fast, you will need to fight it slightly to be able to turn around and such. You will also have a low gravity effect of sorts when you jump, as you will hit your head on the bubble's roof, sending it up. So you lose some mobility at the cost of power, though you may be able to master it's movements.
When you are hit, there is a very little amount of knockback as well, but nothing you can't manage.
You can also bounce off of walls! This causes the bubble to squish against the wall, and bounce!
So once you have mastered how the bubble's momentum works, you can really do some damage with it! Don't forget you can still use any weapon, and even your grappling hook! Though, once you reach where your Grapple's hook is, it will pop right off to you bounce.
So just imagine you are fighting a Pirate Invasion. You begin to roll slowly, then faster, then faster with the bubble. You try to turn around, but the bubble still rolls. You jump up, and the bubble goes into the air, keeping that forward momentum. You grapple at an angle to the ground and bounce even higher as you bounce off it! You stomp to the ground, use the grapple again once you are in the air, and bounce off the walls! Soaring through the air at incredible speeds! You swing your weapons at the enemy while smashing down in a huge hoard of them! Zipping right by!
Stats
Damage: 35 (Stomp: 50)
Usage: Instant
Cooldown: 5 Minutes, 15 Seconds
Mana Cost: 50
Closing
Just imagine what you could do! You could take out waves of enemies with the stomp, bounce off the walls and smash into your opponents! Smash down to the ground from an extremely high height and launch skyward! Once you master the momentum, there are so many opportunities you could use with the Magic Bubble!
Also, some nice looking bonus sprites from Pigron, having some blue on pink for the bubble!
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this suggestion. Leave any suggestions to improve the idea in the replies! Thank you all for reading. Dakota, out.
