A keytar is a long blunt melee weapon.

Usage

Weapon

The keytar can attack up to 2 enemies at a time dealing a maximum of 0.7 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1.25 tiles away at an attack speed of 1.2.

Breaking doors

It can be used to bash down doors, but it is ineffective, dealing only 3 damage per hit.

Chopping trees

It is not very effective at chopping down trees, dealing 10 damage per hit. Note: Even if you wanted to chop down trees with a keytar, you'll likely going to break it even with max skills relating with it (From my testing its 6 hits to one tree being chopped Including some crazy 32 hits which chopped two trees down. The average is 15)

Condition

The keytar has a maximum condition of 2. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the long blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (3 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the long blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of maintenance and long blunt levels.

*For how this is calculated, see: Durability*
Maintenance skill	Weapon skill	Durability lower chance
0	0	1/3 (33%)
0	4	1/5 (20%)
0	8	1/7 (14%)
4	0	1/7 (14%)
8	0	1/11 (9%)
4	4	1/9 (11%)
4	8	1/11 (9%)
8	8	1/15 (7%)
10	10	1/17 (6%)

Repairing

The keytar cannot be repaired.
