Combat Items

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

This page is in need of content. Stuff from Dreadsylvania. Very out of date; previous update was in 2019.

This page lists items that can be used during combat, grouped by function. Unless noted otherwise, combat items are consumed upon use.

The following skills and enchantments affect combat items:

• Ambidextrous Funkslinging allows the player to use two combat items per combat round.
• Deft Hands increases the damage dealt by combat items by 25%. If the player is currently a Disco Bandit, the first combat item used in a fight will always stagger the enemy.
• The V for Vivala mask increases the damage dealt by combat items by 50%.
• Mathematically Precise increases the damage dealt by combat items by 50%.
• Form of...Bird! prevents the use of combat items.
