Hound

hound is a ranged item in item asylum. It allows the user to create a barrage of homing projectiles.
== Functionality ==
Activating this item causes the user to form a cube before launching seven neon projectiles from their left or right hand, alternatingly. Each projectile travels at roughly 275 studs per second, deals 10 damage, homes strongly towards enemies, and disappears upon contacting any solid surface or after 4.5 seconds.
hound has a 7 second cooldown beginning upon the final projectile being fired.
=== Lead Bullet [E] ===
Activating this ability causes the user to form a black cube before launching five dark projectiles from their left or right hand, alternatingly. Identically to the item's main attack, the projectiles home towards enemies, travel at roughly 275 studs per second, and disappear on contact with solid surfaces or after 4.5 seconds; however, the projectiles deal no damage. Instead, upon contact with an enemy, the projectiles are lodged in the enemy's body for 3.5 seconds, decreasing their walkspeed by 1 per projectile and inflicting the victim with one second of ragdoll upon them taking any form of damage. The damage dealt must be greater than zero to inflict ragdoll. Damage-over-time status effects such as poison or fire, damage transferred via pact, and self-damage are counted.
Lead Bullet has a 10 second cooldown beginning upon the final projectile being fired.
== Tips ==
* The ability for hound's projectiles to loop around makes it very effective on maps with no walls such as baseplate, being able to deal its maximum damage.
