¶ Ground Pounder
The Ground Pounder is a weapon that allows the player to well… ground pound. The player can ground pound by holding down the right mouse button and must be held down during the entire descent otherwise the ground pound will be cancelled. During a ground pound the player gains resistance and upon landing on the ground the player creates a shockwave that both damages and launches targets into the air. The Ground Pounder also has a charge mechanic where Hourglasses may be inserted into the charge menu and can be accessed with the left mouse button. If the left mouse button is pressed during a ground pound then the Ground Pounder will teleport the player to the start of the fall and gives them levitation for one second. This consumes a charge. The Ground Pounder can hold 18 charges and has a durability of 131. The Ground Pounder can be enchanted.
¶ Crafting
The Ground Pounder belongs to the Watson collection and does not have a prerequisite to unlock it's recipe. The Ground Pounder does however have a cheap cost to craft requiring:
- Two Pointed Dripstone
- Three Amethyst Clusters
¶ Notes
- Despite the Ground Pounder being a pickaxe, any pickaxe functionality is impossible to do as the left mouse button opens the charge menu.
- The Ground is the only Holoitem with a charge mechanic that has two rows instead of just one.
- This is likely due to the Hourglass being a non-stackable item.
- The Ground Pounder's fall damage resistance stacks with the Feather Falling enchant.
- Despite the Ground Pounder already having Unbreaking I, it cannot have higher levels of Unbreaking.
¶ Enchants
The Ground Pounder can be enchanted with only one enchantment. The Ground Pounder upon creation starts with the Unbreaking I enchant and cannot have higher levels of Unbreaking. The Ground Pounder also cannot be enchanted on to other pickaxes. This is due to the fact that it would completely destroy the pickaxe function. The singular enchant that the Ground Pounder can be enchanted with is Mending.
¶ Tips
- The Ground Pounder is a great tool for fast and tall descents thanks to it's resistance to fall damage.
- Due to the Ground Pounder's damage effect being Area of Effect and crowd control, this make the Ground Pounder useful against multiple targets.
- The Ground Pounder could lend itself to interesting interactions with other Holoitems to create possible play styles or combos.
