Retro essence

retro essence is an item in item asylum. It is one of the items exclusive to the Beta Figure in JGN.
==Functionality==
Using retro essence causes the user to punch in front of them. Each punch deals 35 damage, ragdolls, and knocks back victims. There is a minimal cooldown between punches.
===Retro Stomp (E)===
The user will perform a 360° spin and raise their leg before slamming it down in front of them. This will generate 15 pillars of terrain that rise linearly in the direction the user faces. Each pillar deals 18.5 damage, ragdolls, and sends victims directly upwards. Those that caught directly in front of the user are instead dealt 105 damage and are ragdolled. The user cannot move or use other tools until all pillars have been summoned. 
Retro Stomp has an 8 second cooldown.
===Retro Sprint (R)===
The user will shortly wind up before charging forward a moderate distance. Those caught in their dash are dealt 35 damage, ragdolled, and launched upwards. The user cannot move or use other tools until they have finished their dash. 
Retro Sprint has a 3 second cooldown.
==Tips==
* Retro Stomp synergizes well with ranger essence's Zoner - use Retro Stomp and quickly switch to ranger essence to press E. If you have adequate aiming skills, this allows you to stun anyone ahead and finish them off while they are still downed.
** This only works with Retro Stomp and not Retro Sprint.
* While Retro Sprint and Retro Stomp can result in instant death, that is mostly reserved for single targets. Depending on the situation you are in, choose carefully if you want to use Stomp or Zoner as a ranged attack.
* You can also quickly use cubic leap and equip retro essence to either use Retro Swing, Retro Sprint, or Retro Stomp during cubic leap's endlag when landing.

== Trivia ==
*Formerly, retro essence was known as retro sprint. Its functionality has now been incorporated into the item's eponymous ability.
*Retro essence’s sprint ability could be a reference towards the Thief King Cloak item from the Roblox game, Pilgrammed.
*This item is also obtainable in KIT, via the kit Mr. Shakedown.
**This is the second juggernaut item to be obtainable in KIT, the first being mimicry.
*This item, along with its previous iteration, is possibly named after the "Retro Egg, the Geometric" hat that was obtainable during the "Egg Hunt 2019: Scrambled in Time" event, as it is the same one Beta PortABoi wears.
*If the user uses Retro Stomp and dies before pillars spawn, the user can switch items while dead.
