Chinchompa (weapon)

Chinchompas are thrown weapons required different Ranged level to use. Each time a chinchompa is thrown, it triggers an explosion. Unlike other throwing weapons, they cannot be retrieved, even when doing no damage.

Mechanics

Chinchompas are stackable "weapons" that are equipped in the main-hand slot like throwing axes or darts. When launched as ability, the chinchompas have a passive effect, Short Fuse, that will cause them to explode and scatter into a 3×3 AoE from the hit tile, damaging both the main target and up to nine other targets at the same time. The damage is based on the abilities used against the primary target. Each ability used has a 15% chance of consuming a chinchompa.

The AoE damage will occur even with two-handed abilities as long as the player switches to the chinchompa before the damage appears.

Chinchompas therefore cause the player's attacks to become AoE, making them extremely useful when fighting multiple monsters at the same time when they can be reached. The damage from chinchompas is usually consistent across multiple targets.

Unmodified abilities:

• Sacrifice only heals from the main target.
• Tuska's Wrath only hits one target, regardless if on a slayer task or not.

For 2×2 and larger monsters, the spread tile is the monster's south-westernmost tile.
