Overview
Bomb Toss is one of the 10 unique skills that can be learned from Frogidi's Fortunes.
Bomb Toss has 18 alternative colors that change the hue of the bomb shell and the smoke after the explosion.
The timing for the Action Command is at the moment the bomb is visible in the player's hand and shortly before it is thrown.
The timing for the Block is the moment when the bomb explodes, which is when it causes damage.
Succeeding the Action Command performs a 'Critical!' hit, increasing the amount Damage dealt to the target by 1.
Usage
Bomb Toss deals a decent amount of Damage to one enemy and inflicting the
Stun status, as well as dealing
1 Damage to all other enemies.
Compared to the other 1 SP cost Frogidi's Fortune skills: Fire Claw and Lightning Spear, Bomb Toss deals unequal amounts of
Damage across enemies and can inflict
Stun.
Bomb Toss is comparable to the Stunning Vine Trap skill, with both inflicting an action-disabling status and costing 1 SP. The main difference is that Vine Trap deals all its damage to one target and that
Stuck does not disable the ability to use items.
The Stun and surrounding
Damage is what sets Bomb Toss apart from the rest, however, neither are very useful in combat. Just like Slap, Bomb Toss has some good usage against Wraiths to avoid their Evil Impact.
Against Corruption 1 enemies, the surrounding
Damage from Bomb Toss is fully blocked by their
1 Defense, making this less ideal.
Against Corruption 2+ enemies, they are immune to
Stun as well as the surrounding
Damage, nullifying to two niche parts of Bomb Toss.
Overall, Bomb Toss is only slightly better than Slap for its higher Damage. By the time the player reaches Frogville Road, almost every enemy has at least
2 Defense as well, rendering the surrounding
Damage fully blocked.
Notes
- The
Stun status will not be inflicted if no
Damage was dealt or if the target has the
Stun Guard status.
- The Bandit King and Bedrock, as with all
Corruption 2+ enemies, are immune to the
Stun status.
- The surrounding
Damage of Bomb Toss cannot go below 1 and scales with the user's
Power and can be further increased with
Power Up.
- Bomb toss does 4 more
Damage to the target than its surrounding enemies.
- Bomb toss will do the same
Damage as Basic Archery to enemies with at least
1 Defense due to its lack of piercing, so it's generally better to use Basic Archery against stun immune enemies
Trivia
- Bomb Toss is the first skill revealed in Adventure Story, which was shown off on Vetex's twitter and YouTube.
- A similar skill called Gift Grenade is used exclusively by Snowmen.
- Bomb Toss can be used by
Corruption 2+ Snowmen and
Corruption 3 Daiseyes and Fungeyes.
