WHAT IF... the upcoming torto bombs had the same attack as the older shard bombs?
It's just a thought. I mean, think about it. For the torto bombs, chances are shard bombs will be used as the weapon crafting material. Given that evaluation, you can only assume that the shard bombs will have some sort of use for the upcoming torto bombs.
Here is something to think about. The torto guns defy the laws of handgun use. They use sword, gun, and bomb. Nick alone said that he did not like how the shard bombs previously interpreted a gun + bomb use, so that's why it was switched to the shard bombs we see today. However, OOO makes a gun which goes against Nick's rule. However, note that these torto weapons can only be made if you have ancient shells, which can only be obtained DURING the event, thus making these torto weapons LIMITED. These weapons can't simply be crafted anyday by anyone, so I guess it's fine to defy Nick's rule with these torto weapons.
Now, the torto equipment defies its class. Like, the torto shield's charge is, well, like one huge sword stab pushing forward. The torto guns released recently inherit both guns, swords, and bombs in itself. The torto swords, well, could also defy its class with something else, maybe it will be the next wrench wand..! The torto bomb? What if OOO deleted the old shard bombs, but not entirely, they were saving it up for a limited event (in this case tortodrone event)? If so, let them! If not, I'm here to suggest that be made. I'm here to bring the classic shard bombs back into action! 4 different damage types = Normal, Piercing, Elemental, and Shadow! What do you think? You guys think this could work?
Well, I was never a bomb guy, and never even noticed the old bombs, but this sounds like a pretty okay idea. A whole Tortodrone set, maybe to be implemented in the next Migration.
