Weapons

Weapons are the "spikes" on top of your head in-game that you use to attack, block, stab & kill, and play the game.

### Purchasing

There are currently ten different weapons available, and they are sold by Theodore (Theo) in the safe zone. What is the safe zone? You can visit the safe zone page. When in the safe zone, click on Theo to open the shop (The polar bear floating on an iceberg with a speech bubble and weapons behind him).

### Third Ability/Weapon Ability

The third ability was revealed to be a weapon ability filling the final slot from special and normal abilities. It was released in the version 1.11.0 on the 22nd of December 2021 with only the Mercy Staff in the update. However, other weapons now also have a third ability. To activate this ability, you need to reach the requirements and interact with the ability either tapping it on mobile or pressing [space] to activate the ability.

### WL/Weapon Length

WL is a currency you earn in game that is earned along side your high score but will not affect your highscore as mentioned below, look at the screenshot or check prices to see the costs of weapons. Something to keep in mind is that spending WL does effect your blade length depending on how much WL you have remaining after the purchase, so if you buy a Brutal Chainsaw at 10,000 WL and only had 10,000 WL you'll only have a stage one brutal chainsaw because all the WL has be spent on the weapon so you have to earn more WL to reach a high length pike/tusk. WL is pictured right.

### Weapon Stages

Stages depend on your WL . Below under the weapons header you will see what point value related to what weapon stage. The amount of corpses you can have on your weapon depends on it's stage. A first level weapon can hold two, a third level and a fourth level weapon can hold three, a fourth level weapon can hold four.

### Theodore

Theo is a npc (non-player character) that sells weapons in return for WL  (Weapon Length). Whenever you buy a weapon from Theo, it is kept for the rest of the game until you officially die/cannot respawn or rejoin that game with the current score you had, as Theo mentions below you can switch weapons just by interacting with your fish body, so you don't have to go up to him every time to switch weapons once you have a couple you want to try out or use. You can also use a keyboard control, which can be controlled in settings.

### Prices

Each weapon has a different Weapon Length price. As the shop says, spending points will not affect your high score, only your weapon length.

* The Mercy Staff costs 100 WL
* The Mining Pickaxe costs 1,000 WL
* The Water Trident costs 1,000 WL
* The Hunting Crossbow costs 5,000 WL
* The Brutal Chainsaw costs 10,000 WL

* The Fool's Toy costs 4,141 WL
* The Holy Sword and the Divine Blessing are not purchasable from the shop.

### Player Damage Functions

Damage that you deal is based on your statistics of attack number, genes, & weapon. Your current attack number is the number you deal with your current weapon, just reducing the damage by that fishes defense. (EX: If the fish has 25 defense up and you deal 100 attack, you deal 75 damage to them).

Genes & Weapons depends on the de-buffs mainly consisting of -10% damage or +10% damage. The only things that have their own damage output are skills which means the weapon holy sword has it's own damage (130) unlike other weapons / special skills but they are still affected by defense.

### The Weapons

Not all the pictures are to scale as some get large. Below you can see images and the points needed for a specific weapon.

#### The Ancient Tusk

The Ancient Tusk is the weapon you start out with. It has no special abilities and is easiest to reach full length with due to not needing any score to purchase it and needing one of the least amounts of score to achieve.

#### The Mercy Staff

This weapon costs 100 points and will allow you to release your earliest impaled victim by pressing space but will not work if the impaled has already died to bleeding.

#### The Mining Pickaxe

This weapon costs 1,000 points and will let you mine ores instantly, but decreases stab damage to others reducing damage by 10%.

#### The Water Trident

This weapon costs 1,000 points and will allow you to send three strong waves to push objects.

#### The Brutal Chainsaw

This weapon costs 10,000 points and will grind out your opponents' flesh to restore health and stamina as you stab other players. Each hit gives 3 food with a 1% chance for fillet and a 9% for chance steak. However, the score gained from food generated by the chainsaw is much lower.

#### The Crossbow

This weapon costs 10,000 points and it can impaled victims using ammo to shoot, they can also be imbued with an elemental hazard.

#### The Freezing Chillblade

This weapon costs 20,000 points and will freeze enemies when you touch them with your weapon. However, compared to the ice hazard, players will be be affected by the freeze for less time meaning that if you don't stab them fast, they will have their speed set back to normal quickly and possibly turn the tables.

#### The Fool's Toy

Bonk your enemy far far away! Only available on April Fools' Day! This was an April Fools' Day weapon only.

#### The Holy Sword

The Holy Sword is a special power exclusive to Archbeluga. It's base damage is 130, it has a great size increase, and has an increased turn speed. It is a special skill though which means once activated by the fish, the previous weapon that it was wielding will not has it's ability carried on to The Holy Sword. In short it has a size increase, strong base damage, and faster turn speed, and can be activated with just a simple move of your finger. Overall this is a powerful tool that can be useful earlier for gaining score and having a chance against other fish with tusks purchased from Theodore or if they have a longer weapon than you do. Despite not being bought from the shop, the Holy Sword has 4 stages, just like all of the other weapons except the Divine Blessing.

Archbeluga with a max length Holy Sword is godly when fighting others and can do quite well in PvE (Person Versus Everyone) due to it's large length and fast turn speed. It's weapon length will always be the current length of your weapon that you have equipped, meaning that it's the same using any weapon, no matter the strength when activated. Keep in mind though that this weapon is an ability, and has a cooldown before being activated again so be wise when you use it.
