As many people know, the Irontech Bomb and Irontech Destroyer are most likely the most useless bomb in the game. Here are 2 simple changes to fix it:

1. Make the blast radius, charge time,etc. The same as the Nitronome.

2. Most importantly, make it half shadow damage.

Why shadow damage? The only shadow bomb in the game that is accessible to everyone is the gravitron vortex, which is not a DPS bomb, it's a strategy bomb. The Dark Retribution is not available to everyone, therefore is not an option to everyone.

The recipe also include a Trojan Horseshoe, which is a shadow-themed material.

Thoughts?

Well, if the curse is super rare and also affects the user it may work. But shadow sounds more feasible.
Maybe make it 50/50 mixed normal. Even if its pay-only, DR will be next to useless agaisnt a full shadow nitronome.

I changed it to split shadow

I changed it to split shadow normal damage, should be more balanced. I'm not sure about the Curse... May have to be a really low chance (like 1%).

There is a reason for Irontech and Big Angry being different from Nitronome. A while ago I suggested adding shock to Irontech and fire to Big Angry.

If you want the mechanics to be the same as something else, rather than change other lines, just use Nitronome.

Split the damage from all normal to half of it being normal and the other shadow? That could work, though there is a stipulation; Big Angry and Irontech were designed to be higher damage per hit than Nitronome at the expense of mobility and blast radius, Big Angry giving up more of those for damage while Irontech is the middle ground between Big Angry and Nitronome.

Mad Bomber uses shadow related materials and its defense is still normal and element; if this gets changed to normal and shadow then they might split the damage for Irontech.

Curse has limited availability for a reason.
