Magma Croquette

#Overview

Magma Croquette is the evolved form of Spicy Croquette. Each weapon hit has a 20% chance to set off a blast at the enemy it hit. The blast deals 90% of that hit's damage to every enemy within 44 units and sets them on fire. You get it by holding Spicy Croquette with Big Bowl at level 5 and opening a chest. Every Spicy Croquette you hold becomes a Magma Croquette, and Spicy Croquette then stops dropping.^[1]

The burn deals 30% of the triggering hit's damage per second for 3 seconds × Tibo's duration multiplier. Duration starts at 1.25, so by default the burn lasts 3.75 s and adds about 1.1× the hit's damage on top of the blast.^[2]

#How it works

• Trigger and stacking work as for Spicy Croquette: only weapon hits can trigger it, the chance with n copies is 1 − 0.8^n, and it fires at most 8 × n times per second. The per-copy cap is lower than Spicy Croquette's 12, so very fast-hitting builds gain less from the evolution than the higher chance suggests.
• Measured (build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, headless tools/play.mjs, standard mode, normal difficulty; copies added directly with giveItem, skipping the evolution; 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, 20.1% of 20,135 rolls fired with one copy (expected 20%), and 48.3% of 16,645 with three (expected 48.8%). With the chance set to 100% in the scenario (120 s, seeds s1–s3), one copy fired 7.96–7.98 times per second. Two copies fired 11.3–12.6 per second, above one copy's limit, so the doubled limit of 16 was not reached in these runs.
• Burns do not stack. An enemy keeps only its strongest burn per second and its longest remaining burn time. A new, weaker burn extends the time but does not add damage.^[3]
• Burn ticks land every 0.5 s for half the per-second value.
• Size. The radius grows with the square root of Tibo's area multiplier, so Big Bowl at level 5 (+50% area) makes the blast about 22% wider.

#Tips

• Bigger single hits make bigger blasts and burns, so it pairs well with crit and damage bonuses.
• Duration bonuses, such as Slow Cooker or Time Tuber, lengthen the burn.
