Base.Violin

A violin is a short blunt melee weapon.

Usage

Weapon

The violin can attack up to 2 enemies at a time dealing a maximum of 0.4 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1 tiles away at an attack speed of 1.2.

Breaking doors

It can be used to bash down doors, dealing 5 damage per hit.

Condition

The violin has a maximum condition of 1. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (1 + 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 maintenance and short blunt levels.

For how this is calculated, see: Condition

Maintenance skill	Weapon skill	Durability lower chance
0	0	1/1 (100%)
0	4	1/3 (33%)
0	8	1/5 (20%)
4	0	1/5 (20%)
8	0	1/9 (11%)
4	4	1/7 (14%)
4	8	1/9 (11%)
8	8	1/13 (8%)
10	10	1/15 (7%)

Distribution

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.
