Panda

## C-Skin

Loop by only throwing weapons, not using them.

*Panda is a great offensive character because of the high damage and ammo effectiveness of their active ability, and a constant way to look for better guns to shoot from.*

## Features

* Panda starts with the Panda Stick.
* Weapons that you throw in the portal will be randomized into another weapon of the same tier.
* Weapons sucked into the portal but not thrown in them with your active ability will not be randomized.

## Special

Panda can throw weapons at enemies dealing variable damage based on your level (13 + 2 \* level). The weapon will teleport back into your hands after 2,5 seconds, if it had stopped moving.

If Panda throws a weapon and fills both their weapon slots, that weapon will not teleport back.

## Throne Butt

Panda's thrown weapons will deal 20% more damage to enemies, and will return to your hand after stopping in 0,5 seconds. This does not affect the time while the weapon is flying.

## Ultra Mutations

*All of Panda's Ultra Mutations cause thrown weapons to bounce toward enemies.*

 Fuck It |  | Thrown weapons explode on hit.
 Done Being Extinct |  | Whenever you hit an enemy with a thrown weapon, they drop extra resources.
When a weapon returns, it fires a massive laser.
 Cleansing |  | More melee swing rate.
Portals no longer randomize weapons.

## Gameplay

Through transforming their weapons via the portals, Panda can fish for a favourable build or weapon much more quickly than other characters, and their throwing ability ensures a fighting chance even when out of ammo. Throws can also be used for effective burst damage, or as a primary source of damage on the later stages.

If you throw out your weapons quickly enough, as to not fill both your weapon slots, you can cycle more than two weapons in the throw chain, basically increasing the fire rate of the throws. Later in the game, you can chain a ridiculous amount of weapons in a cycle, and achieve extremely high damage per second numbers, given that on the later loops your throws will deal a huge amount of damage, bounce towards enemies, and if Turning Badass is taken, pierce them very effectively.

## Tips

* Throw your starting golden weapons into the portal for a very cool, shiny, limited edition random 6'th tier weapon.
* Bigger weapons have a bigger hitbox. Fittingly, most wide, big weapons which are good for throwing are meeles! Like your starting stick.
* If you play with a **throw** build, for longer runs an auto clicker for RMB is not a bad idea, because of how your middle finger just does **not** have the same stamina that the pointer guy has.

### Useful Mutations

* Throne Butt - Throne Butt is only positive for Panda as it allows you to kill enemies significantly quicker with your (already strong) active. Hovewer it will reduce the maximum size of the weapon throw cycle that you can make.
* Heavy Heart - Thrown weapons fire for free! More weapons!
* Long Arms - Cleansing synergy. Epic melee build.
* Boiling Veins - Fuck It (but live after).

### Useful Crowns

* Guns - Who needs ammo if you can **throw**? Have a Heavy Heart, and the guns will shoot for you.
* Choice - You can't remove what's not there! Throw your secondary into the portal and enjoy your additional chests/weapons.
* Protection - Usefull overall, but especially so when you don't need ammo.

### Unlocking C-Skin

Only throw weapons, simple as. While you go through the levels, pick up weapons and throw them. Before long you will have a constant stream of weapons returning and being thrown. You will swiftly learn that this is a very effective method of play. Throne Butt and Scarier Face/Glass Arm Cannon will help significantly as well.

## Trivia

* Panda has an upgraded version of Chicken's ability in the retail version of Nuclear Throne.
* Panda's unused race\_back is "No longer get random wep", but this is already one of their Ultras.
