The Tombstone is a special heavy melee weapon which can doom nearby enemies.

Details

• Special Effects:
  • Killing an enemy, or hitting a boss, with the third attack in the combo dooms nearby enemies.
    • Enemies killed by the doom effect will also doom other nearby enemies again.
      • This can occur up to 3 times, but each time the doom damage is reduced.
    • This also causes a tombstone to be placed on the ground, but the placed tombstone has no function.
    • This also dooms the boss itself.
• Breach Bonus: 2 / 2 / 2
• Base Breach Damage: 210 / 240 / 900
• Base Breach DPS: 750
• Combo Duration: 1.8 seconds
• First Hit: 0.5 (0.4 + 0.1)
• Second Hit: 0.55 (0.45 + 0.1)
• Third Hit: 0.75 (0.6 + 0.15)

Notes

• Currently, the tombstones that are placed on the ground when killing an enemy using the third hit or with the doom effect do nothing.
• Similarly to the Alchemic Carbine, the Tombstone cycles between several visually different attack animations that feature various different kinds of tombstones. This difference is cosmetic.
• The doom effect is affected by the affixes applied to the tombstone the player is carrying.
• It's third attack can damage a Ground Shaker from behind and a Shieldbearer from the front.

Trivia

• Tombstone is featured in the update banner for v2.3, aka the Whack-a-Mole Update.
• At one point in the alpha build of v2.3, placed tombstones were originally intended to apply the doom effect when destroyed instead of on the weapon's third attack in a combo.
