Spud Grid

#Overview

Spud Grid is the evolution of Potato Battery. Get Potato Battery to level 8 while you own Root Network, then open a chest.

It clips 3 wires at once (2 plus Tibo's built-in +1 amount, see Stats) to pests within 140 units. Each wire zaps everything it touches every 0.2 s for 80 damage and a 50% slow. When it lets go it discharges for 14× damage, 1,120, around the clipped pest. Unlike the battery, Spud Grid clips bosses: if a boss is in range and not already clipped, a wire goes to the nearest boss first.

#How it works

• Wires work as on Potato Battery: clipped pests are slowed by 85% and held at 1 HP or more until the wire lets go. The wire lasts 5 s × Duration or snaps when its target is more than 200 units from Tibo, then discharges in an 18-unit radius. The 1.5 s cooldown starts only after all three wires are gone.
• Bosses. Each wire first looks for the nearest unclipped boss in range, then falls back to the battery's rule: the nearest pest at least 60 units away, otherwise the farthest in range.^[1]
• A clipped boss is not pinned and gets no HP floor, so it can still die while wired. The zaps still apply their 0.3 s slow to it.^[2]
• Each wire is 12 units wide (8 × its 1.5 Area).

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; pests held 60 to 90 units from Tibo): it clipped 3 wires at once; each lasted 6.25 s (5 s plus the base +25% duration), new wires followed 7.75 s apart, zaps came every 0.2 s for 80 and each release dealt 1,120. All three seeds gave the same figures.

#Tips

• In boss fights, one wire stays on the boss and zaps every pest between it and Tibo. Keeping the boss within 200 units keeps the wire up for the full duration.
• The discharge has a small, fixed radius (18 units, not scaled by Area). Its 1,120 damage mostly finishes off the clipped pest and anything bunched right next to it.

#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). 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.

Evolutions have no level-ups in the game data; they use these fixed raw values.

#Behaviour parameters

Raw parameters of the attack (behavior), copied from the game definition. What they do in play is explained under How it works above.

#Obtaining

• Get Potato Battery to level 8 while owning Root Network (any level), then open a chest. See Evolutions.
