Fry Volcano

#Overview

Fry Volcano is the evolved form of Porcupine Spud. When Tibo takes damage, he erupts in a blast around himself and fires 24 piercing fries, at most once every 0.5 seconds. You get it by holding Porcupine Spud with Starch Plating at level 5 and opening a chest. It never drops on its own, and once you have it, Porcupine Spud stops dropping (see Evolutions).

Compared with Porcupine Spud, each fry has the same base damage (30, +15% of base per minute) but adds 1.5× Tibo's thorns instead of 1×. The fries also pierce 5 enemies instead of 2 and fly faster and longer. The new part is the blast: it hits every enemy within 56 units of Tibo for twice the damage of one fry.^[1]

#How it works

• Trigger and cooldown work as for Porcupine Spud: only hits that cost HP count (not dodges, invulnerability, fully absorbed guard hits or terrain damage), and it then waits 0.5 s.
• Fry damage = (30 × (1 + 0.15 × minutes) + 1.5 × thorns) × damage multiplier. With no bonuses that is 120 per fry at 20:00, and the blast deals 240.
• Range. Fries move at 260 × projectile speed for 0.8 s × duration, about 260 units at default duration. Each one hits up to 6 enemies (pierce 5, plus pierce bonuses). The blast radius grows with the square root of area.
• Stacking. Holding several copies does nothing extra. The effect does not use the item count.

#Tips

• Starch Plating at level 5 gives 100 armor, so a Fry Volcano build takes less damage per hit while still triggering on every hit that gets through.
• The blast centres on Tibo, so it clears enemies pressed against him, while the fries reach further out.
• Thorny Jacket thorns count 1.5× in each fry and twice that in the blast.

#Effect

Trigger: onHurt (when Tibo is hit). Raw parameters:

#Obtaining

• Hold Porcupine Spud with Starch Plating at level 5, then open a chest. See Evolutions.
