I've been noticing most bombers are lacking in elemental damaging bomb so maybe i would suggest my idea with some art that i drew for it.

I took my insperations from The Sanctuary in game because IMO its something like the 'anti-swarm' and because The Swarm has this dark and evil feeling, SO : Swarm = Evil ; Sanctuary (/Anti-swarm) = Good

And on the other note, maybe give some varaity to the bomb and make it a 'Anti-Graviton'. Which mean the enemies will be 'holded' around the 1st blast (which i suggest to be a pillar of light) then after 3 seconds it explodes again and drags the enemies into the epic center. Like so.
OR, what luiguru suggested, a elemental DR...

It should be elemental, damage simmilar to graviton but 7% weaker (except 1st blast). and with damage bonus Vs. undead med.
OR, 7% than DR (but elemental) with Damage bonus Vs undead med (if we are goin with luiguru's suggestion)

Names (2-4 star's names are still a WIP) & Descps :
(2*)
A bomb fused with a material what most knights call 'sky stone'.

(3*).
The material has consumed the fused, but it seem to light the bomb when ever the weilder thinks about it

(4*)
Energy emitted from the material is simmilar to the engry found around the core.

Corona (5*)
Even though the material has consumed the bomb whole, it seems to still work but better.

I think that woul wrap it up for this post. Please do give you opinion, it helps me grow & learn :3

Oh P.s.

The new blast type is just a suggestion, but seing how hard it is to code stuff (i know, my dad can sit infront his laptop for a day to just code a prank window :s). it could be the regular blast (that DBB and nitrome has) and the damage would be the same as DBB (but elemental).

And if your wondering : "What about the walk speed?". Well its has graviton's speed, unless its implemented (and hope it would) with a regular blast maybe on par with Nitrome?

P.s.s. ill give each bomb a descp as soon as i get the idea :3 (probably tommoro)

P.s.s.s This Might be a shameless bump :3

You mean from Worms? Either

You mean from Worms?

Either your idea needs a rename, or risk sacrilege to the most 'splodey grenade in all of gaming history.

Or just turn it into a SUPER nitronome. That can be thrown~

Rename?

Sanctuary Bomb
Blast of Light
Bright Swarm
Sky Bomb
Skynade
Cloud(9 lol) bomb

I still have more but i think i deserves better.

P.s. some people tried suggesting trow-able bombs before..... i don't think it ended very well :(

"i didn't want to offend any other religion"
I know you mean well, but that entire sketch is an insult to religion.

The model looks like it would be more of an element version of DRetribution with glowing orbs instead of purple gyros. That not-Graviton mechanic is basically an improvement on Graviton, grouping enemies together in what is assumed to be the same radius Graviton has (three space suction radius) and trapping enemies in that center area, then simply throwing them all together instead of blasting them away as with the existing suction bombs. Unique, but a clear advantage; I would give this to Graviton instead of making a new bomb meant to be its opposite that mechanic considering Graviton is supposed to be a black hole of suction. The suction bomb for gravity should have suction and gravity involved.

Maybe around December doing the expansion gets you an element reskin of DRetribution with that model. People who already have DRetribution would not have to repurchase, just do the runs again as a new reward. People who paid already get something nice, people who have not bought it will probably want it. Or I could just be full of sh-

What are you doing now?

What?

I am always summoned when you try to use inappropriate language. For I am the almighty god of BLT sandwiches and hexagons!

Hexagons? What have you been doing since you were last here?

Conquering other gods, consuming their flesh, and gaining their powers, of course!

Something is very wrong with that.

I know, there was no bread to make a sandwich out of the flesh with!

Alright, go back to wherever the liquids you were doing that.

Hi ho Silver, away!

You should call it Corona, the latin word for crown, and the name of the aura around the sun during a total eclipse.
