I have another bomb idea. What if you take a nitronome but reverse the knockback? So you'd have enemies flying towards the inside of the bomb blast rather than away from the center of the bomb radius.
Another of my creative bomb ideas! The opposite of Nitronome.
There are a number of things that SEGA could, but has not, done with the knockback mechanics. I'd love to see some of them come into play.
The-Last-Viking: nitronome has an explosion that only lasts for 1 second but the vortex bombs last for 5 seconds. This bomb only lasts 1 second. The vortex slowly turns enemies into itself but this bomb quickly shoves enemies towards the center with high knockback, rather than a rotating trap. Vortex bombs are meant to trap while this bomb is meant to push enemies "in" for a short while.
Hope that helped =)
It's also worth noting that, over a duration of 5 seconds, the Vortex Bombs suck in monsters, and then explode them out. This bomb just sucks monsters right into the center. That'd be pretty good for moving monsters where you want them. Imagine using it to suck Lord Vanaduke into a corner
Oh and very important, we need a name, damage type, status (optional), charge time, fuse time, and damage amount. I'm assuming most of the stats would be copied from the Nitronome.
This suggestion will be fun. :3
But if you have one enemy do the stop in the middle or keep flying?
The first sounds OP, and the last sounds like a suicidal bomber weapon.
Holy-Nightmare: they keep on flying. Or, if you want it the other way around, they stop in the middle.
The bomb is ok, it does allow for something slightly different than vortex bombs, it really isn't that much of an innovation tbh, but it is enough for it to be a thing at least.
it will be hilarious planting it near a party member and having them get unexpectedly insta-mobbed
How about a bomb that causes bullets to explode in every direction? Something like that would be really good for mobs, but it wouldn't be very easy to chain at all. On the other hand, it would be a Bomber's answer to fighting gun puppies.
Also, we need another bomb like Dark Retribution. But this one should do elemental damage.
can't be bothered to look at the link
keep u mean the old shard bombs
they already made two bombs that suck enemies into a spinning vortex, they are the Graviton vortex and the Electron Vortex
