Functionality
Functionality[]
The Ageless Champion's Shockwave Hammer has 2 functions:
- Pressing the fire button will cause the character to slam the hammer on the ground, sending a shockwave that damages nearby structures and opponents, launching them away. The Ageless Champion's Shockwave Hammer will deal additional damage if it slams close to the enemy.
- Pressing the secondary fire button will bounce the player into the air with the hammer, falling with no fall damage. Players can also hold down the button to chain bounces together, using one charge per bounce. The Ageless Champion's Shockwave Hammer only has 5 bounce charges, each of which recharges with time.
The attack shockwave extends in a 3.9 tile radius and the bounce has a 20 second cooldown per charge. It can store 5 charges at once.
