Please remove bombs from lockdown. They're just too powerful, allowing nearly instant charge and cover huge areas.
At least the Spike bomb which shoots in all directions with its 12+ projectiles, is planted in under 1 second, explodes nearly immediately, is used to hit several knights more often than a 3-swing sword can hit one knight. Instabomb, instaexplosion, instahit. Its projectile speed, explosion speed, charge time are all ridiculous for lockdown.
At least it should have 2x charge time and 0.5x radius. As it is now its a one-shot all-direction 12-bullet gun, not a bomb in any way.
Please remove bombs from lockdown. At least Spike bomb

Its easy to dodge projectiles
Its easy to dodge projectiles once, not dodge them numerous times while trying to kill the bomber. You can't get close!

The spike bomb is the easiest
The spike bomb is the easiest bomb to dodge, you just run out of the radius and attack the user while they're charging. A gun is useful, since you can cancel attack without having to get too close.
The Crystal Bomb series only has 8 shards, for accuracy's sake. It gives up 360° AoE for longer range + faster deployment of the simple eight directions it affects.
Given this, it's easy enough to dodge between the projectiles.
