this bomb will only have a 3 or up to 4 star and it's sole purpose is for trapping crowd control
it works like freeze effect but it would take 3 hits from other players to free the snared enemy
with this bomb you would be able to use a different bomb with the better chance of the enemy no being knocked out of the range by knights
it would have low damage but a fast charge and maybe a beast bonus

I still don't know how to not let it replace the freeze bomb... but thinking about it

also why no throw-able bombs? I mean the gremlins do it...

So basically you want a better version of freeze that has a smaller radius? I mean I guess I can get down with that. It seems like a mostly meaningless sidegrade from shivermist buster that I'd have to play around with to get the gist of... I don't know about using it to cancel knockback from bombs etc. since you'd have to set up the move before you could pull it off, which would likely just make using dark briar barrage, dark retribution or even nitronome a better option, but it could be amusing.

And- also why no throw-able bombs? I mean the gremlins do it...

We basically got that with the tortofists.

Make it a blast bomb.

Blast bomb with the apocrean snare status. Snare lasts 3 seconds or so and isn't broken, however snare deals no damage itself like defrost does. Perhaps snared enemies could still track the player but not move from their spot?

@fehzor

I don't really see that as throw able by that I mean the knight physically throwing the bomb and if it hit's an enemy it gives a chance for stun and falls near the enemy that it hit the tortofist are more like the missle Item you can get int the potions and health capsule and barriers

Imagine the rage in LD... a bomb you can't get resistance to, would be as bad as making a sleep haze bomb, then only RJ set would be viable against it since sleep UVs don't exist.

So basically what the gremlins do verbatim. I kind of really want them to change deconstructor line into doing this, because it really needs to do something useful, cuz it doesn't right now. I also have a feeling that polaris and catalyzer were attempts at this.
