A snow shovel is a long blunt weapon.

Usage

Other than being used as a weapon, the snow shovel can be used to clear ashes, dig graves, plow dirt and collect dirt with a sack.

Weapon

The snow shovel's stats are similar to the shovel but cannot damage clothing. It can hit up to 3 enemies at a time (with multi-hit enabled), dealing a maximum of 1.9 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1.6 tiles away at an attack speed of 0.8.

Condition

The snow shovel has a maximum condition of 10. 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 (10 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the short blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and long blunt skills.

For how this is calculated, see: Condition

Maintenance skill	Weapon skill	Condition lower chance
0	0	1/10 (10%)
0	4	1/12 (8%)
0	8	1/14 (7%)
4	0	1/14 (7%)
8	0	1/18 (6%)
4	4	1/16 (6%)
4	8	1/18 (6%)
8	8	1/22 (5%)
10	10	1/24 (4%)
