**Chip Shuriken** is a base weapon in tibo.dog. In-game description: “Spinning chips that spiral outward.”
## Overview
Chip Shuriken throws a ring of spinning chips that spiral outwards from where Tibo is standing. Every 1.6 s it releases 4 chips at once (its raw amount of 3 plus Tibo's base +1 amount, see [Stats](/stats)), spaced evenly around Tibo; each chip turns at 3 radians per second while its distance from the centre grows at 110 units per second, so the ring sweeps outwards in a swirl. Each chip deals 9 damage and can pass through 2 pests before it breaks (it hits up to 3).
Levels mostly add chips: by level 8 it fires 8 chips per throw (raw amount 7 plus 1) for 29 damage each, with pierce 3 and speed 130. Chip Shuriken is offered on level-up cards; it is not in the pool of random starting weapons. At level 8, a chest opened while Tibo holds [GPU](/passives/gpu) evolves it into [Kettle Cyclone](/weapons/kettle-cyclone).
## How it works
- **All chips fire at once.** Spiral weapons fire a single volley per cooldown containing every chip, so `interval` has no effect. [sim-BkfBhQfw.js: ``a===`spiral`||a===`nuke`||a===`turret`?1:n.amount``]
- **Spacing**: chips are spread evenly over a full circle, and the starting angle advances by 0.4 rad on each throw, so consecutive rings do not line up. [sim-BkfBhQfw.js: `Vh(e,t,r,a+o/r.amount*M,x.spiral`]
- **The spiral is anchored where it was thrown.** Its centre is Tibo's position at the moment of the throw; the chips do not follow him afterwards. [sim-BkfBhQfw.js: `i.ox[s]=e.player.x[e.me]`]
- **Motion**: each chip starts 6 units from the centre. Its angle grows by `spin` rad/s and its radius by its speed per second. [sim-BkfBhQfw.js: `r.orbitR[t]+A(r.vx[t],r.vy[t])*n`] Projectile speed bonuses (such as [Salt Shaker](/passives/salt-shaker)) make the ring expand faster, not spin faster.
- **Lifetime** is the weapon's duration (1.6 s) times Tibo's duration stat, which starts at +25% (see [Stats](/stats)). At base values a chip ends roughly 6 + 110 × 2 = 226 units out, after a bit less than one full turn.
- **Pierce**: a chip with pierce N hits N + 1 different pests; it is destroyed on the hit after its pierce runs out. [sim-BkfBhQfw.js: `e<=0?n.pool.kill(t):n.pierce[t]=e-1`]
**Measured** in the headless sim (`tools/play.mjs`, build 41 `main-B2gf34bA.js`, Standard, Normal, god mode, seeds `s1`, `s2` and `s3`; the seeded starting weapon removed, the weapon given with `give`, spawning stopped after 4 s of play and the pests already on the field held at fixed spots with 10⁹ HP; Tibo standing still, facing right, with 8 pests in a line 20 to 90 units to his right): at level 1 every throw released 4 chips on the same tick, every 1.6 s, each spawned with a 2 s lifetime and pierce 2; at level 8 it released 8 chips every 1.6 s with pierce 3. The in-game stat table shows the raw amounts (3 and 7). All three seeds gave the same figures.
## Tips
- Close to Tibo the chips are tightly packed, and they spread out as the ring grows. Pests next to Tibo are the most likely to be hit.
- Extra projectiles from passives add chips to every ring, which is the main way the weapon scales.
## Stats
Values are the raw numbers from the game's definitions, before Tibo's global stat multipliers, difficulty and time scaling. In play, Tibo's base stats add **+1 amount** to every weapon except aura, cone, nuke and ring weapons, and make every duration **×1.25** (see [Stats](/stats)). Field names in `code` are the game's internal names. Attack descriptions such as “Melee slash” are this wiki's summary of the internal attack `kind`.
