Heavy Russet

#Overview

Heavy Russet is a Legendary item that occasionally makes a weapon hit BONK. Each of Tibo's weapon hits has a 2% chance to deal 15× its damage, shown with a shockwave and shards. You can hold up to 5 copies, and each one raises the chance: 1 − 0.98^N gives 2% with one, 3.9% with two and 9.6% with five.

Legendary items share the smallest rarity weight, and Heavy Russet has weight 1 out of 4 among them, about 0.5% of item rolls at luck 0. With Masher Grip at level 5, the next chest turns every copy into Meteor Russet.

#How it works

• The bonk multiplies the hit after the elite/boss bonus and before the crit roll, so a bonk can also crit for 15 × 2 = 30× or more.^[1]
• Only weapon hits can bonk. Dog bites, burn ticks and item blasts cannot.
• The limit is 8 bonks per second per copy. At a 2% chance that only matters for very fast-hitting builds.
• Measured (build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, headless tools/play.mjs, standard mode, normal difficulty; copies added with giveItem; Peeler, Small Fry, Tot Toss, Chip Shuriken, Starch Chain and Seeker Sprouts each given 5 times with give; warp(240); HP refilled every tick; Tibo walking a slow circle; later level-ups taking the first offer): over 180 s on seeds s1–s5, 1.97% of 24,931 rolls bonked with one copy (expected 2%), and 5.83% of 23,657 with three (expected 5.88%). With the chance set to 100% in the scenario (120 s, seeds s1–s3), one copy bonked 7.80–7.89 times per second and two copies 15.37–15.52.
• On average, one copy adds about 28% to weapon hit damage (2% × 14 extra), and five copies about 134%. Actual results are swingy, because the damage comes in rare big hits and anything beyond the target's remaining HP is wasted.

#Tips

• Because the bonus comes in rare large hits, it is best against high-HP targets such as elites and bosses, where the full 15× counts.
• The Microwave can copy a held Heavy Russet, melting a copy of another Legendary item you hold, until you reach the 5-copy cap. Copies carry over when it evolves.

#Effect

Trigger: onHit (when a weapon hits an enemy). Raw parameters:

#Obtaining

• Items come from points of interest such as the Fry Cart vendor, Potato Crates, the Microwave and Tater Slots, and from loot runners (Golden Scarab, Lost Saucer). Ordinary chests never give a new item; they can only evolve one you already hold. Rarity weights: Common 59, Uncommon 25, Rare 10, Epic 4, Legendary 2.
