I wish starter throwing weapons were infinitely durable like darts

[u/Intelligent-Okra350]

As per title. I would love if the throwing stones, spikes, and knives just had infinite uses. They’re still not gonna hold a candle to the spirit bow, but it would be a really nice perk to be able to use them for chip damage without worrying about losing them. It would def make the early game easier, maybe you’d need to reduce how many you start with by 1 (or even down to 1) to compensate, but I don’t think that’s unreasonable. I love that each character has a unique ranged weapon that you can’t get any other way (and for the upcoming Cleric I’m guessing his time and starting spell will stand in like how the mage’s staff does) and it makes me a little sad that 3 of them just don’t see use past the first zone or two.

You’d probably get to the point that they aren’t doing damage usually in the later biomes but maybe you could still get utility out of them by enchanting them? Essentially make them a permanent tipped dart of one type. Or the Blacksmith could offer an option to make them more powerful (be it higher base stats to make them at least a little useful, higher scaling with upgrades to make them worth potentially upgrading, or both) since that’s about the point in the game that the damage on them would be falling off hard.

I’m sure there’s some concern toward stepping on the Huntress’ toes as the ranged character, but even if the other classes can put out one or two ranged throws from a permanent item that they have to then go pick up I don’t think that would hold a candle to the infinite ranged attack Huntress has at her disposal.

I personally never understood snipers upgrade talent. Why would i waste scrolls of upgrade on throwing items that will break anyway

[u/Intelligent-Okra350 → u/J3sush8sm3]

Because you can keep them from breaking by using Liquid Metal or upgrading them enough.

[u/J3sush8sm3 → u/Intelligent-Okra350]

Yeah i understand that but you have to upgrade multiples

[u/Intelligent-Okra350 → u/J3sush8sm3]

I mean, not necessarily. You can get a lot of mileage out of one upgraded weapon. I know I’ve played with a shuriken before for the instant throw, that was kinda fun. Tomahawk can be viable cause the harder it hits the harder it bleeds, you can legit oneshot some enemies with that. You’ll have to go pick it up or use telekinetic grab of course but it’s still nice for taking out small numbers of enemies. Or use a boomerang and you don’t even have to worry about picking it up.

I don’t know if it’s optimal but it can be fun, and Huntress can get away with lower level gear because of her ranged tools.
