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.
| 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%) |
