I propose a new bomb that can be purchase from Kozma during certain promos for 5000 energy.
Energy Bomb
- 5 Star, looks eerily similar to a nuclear warhead with nitrome-themed colors.
- "The latest technology in spiral explosives, this weapon of massive explosion will wipe out any every monster in its vicinity, and every monster not in its vicinity. The Energy Bomb must recharge after each detonation."
- Bomb will deal normal damage and explodes like a Nitrome with twice the blast radius (yep, not a typo).
The first catch:
The bomb has a cool-down timer of 30 seconds, kind of like pet attack. If you attempt to charge the bomb when it is not ready, it will sputter and not charge.
The second catch:
The bomb's base damage is equal to that of Nitrome. However you can boost it's power by added crystal energy to it. Right click on bomb, select "charge with energy", and the bomb gains 50% more power at the cost of 500 energy. The buff disappears after 7 days. Cannot buff again until after the first buff disappears.
Giving weapons boosts with energy?
*Walks away*
"- Bomb will deal normal damage and explodes like a Nitrome with twice the blast radius (yep, not a typo)."
That's just a huge package of lag waiting to be released.
Also, this kind of defeats the current purpose of bombs. They are designed to provide constant AoE damage, and possibly a knockback/re-placement of mobs depending on the type. Blowing up everything once every 30 seconds isn't exactly very...bomb-like at the moment. I mean, I like the idea and all, but there are a lot of things you might want to rethink.
