Punk: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:48, 23 August 2022

Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A sling made of weird green leather, oozing corrosive slime. Originally the weapon of a notorious mischief-maker and general scamp, it's since fallen into less savoury hands.

the +3 greatsling "Punk"

+3 greatsling (modified sling: 10 base damage)

Acid brand
rCorr

Desirability

Punk^[1] has good damage output despite its low enchantment since very few monsters resist the 2d4 acid damage, and the corrosion effect, which will lower monster AC by 8 until it wears off (this does not stack). As most monsters don't have much AC to begin with, this is a major decrease in defense.

History

Prior to 0.29, Punk was a fustibalus; this weapon gained +1 accuracy in this version as a result.
Prior to 0.19, Punk had a freezing brand (and greatslings were renamed into fustibali).
Prior to 0.15, Punk was a +9, +12 sling instead of greatsling.
