Hey Dungeoneers,

As I’ve mentioned before, the next update to Shattered Pixel Dungeon will feature an overhaul to thrown weapons! They will works in sets of three, which can be upgraded as a unit.

What might not be immediately apparent is that this extends far beyond just upgrades, by having thrown weapons work as a ‘unit’ together it’s also much more feasible to have various weapon properties apply to them. This includes identification, natural upgrades, curses, and enchantments!

    Darts are only from shops. I sometimes buy them if they sell paralysis/incendiary, or if I have the seed to make them! Those can be a little bit useful especially in high challenges, but saving money for heal potion etc is usually preferable. The rest of the darts are meh and not worth the costs (you need to re-tip the darts with seeds after each use). Even with cleric’s lategame trinity ability among other things, from my experience I can’t justify using these other darts, but that’s just my personal opinion

      The crossbow is what really makes the darts good. Many of my duelist champion runs end up being crossbow dart runs because all of the enemies die before they can get in range of my other weapons. Iirc a +8 crossbow makes untipped darts shoot for like 10-50, and being able to do that with up to 8 infinite durability ammo is cracked
