The Shovel is a meleeweapon which flings enemies away and bombs back toward their sources.
Details[]
Special Effects:
Bombs hit by Shovel strikes are sent back as if they were parried by a shield. However, bomb power is 20% of shield-parry values (18 base damage instead of the usual 90 base damage).
The second hit in the combo knocks enemies back, and the final hit sends them flying away for 1 second.
"Secrets found in the walls and ground are of increased quality."
Trivia[]
The Shovel may be a reference to Crypt of the NecroDancer, specifically to Eli, whose playstyle involves pushing bombs around.
It may be a weapon themed after the Graveyard biome as the in-game Graveyard is where common villagers are buried, and the shovel is presumably used to dig their graves.
The Shovel may also be a reference to Shovel Knight, as it can also be found by breaking a wall beside the campfire where you first find the King Scepter.
