Clubs (AFK Pets and more)

Clubs are Melee Weapons that acts more like True melee swords, but with a few new mechanics attached to them that makes them stand out, those being the Slam, Strike, and Berserk Mechanics. There are currently 7 bats in the game, along with a single Trinket that is tailored to said subclass.

Mechanics

Slam

All Clubs have this ability by default. It is activated upon hitting an enemy. Each clubs has their own slam ability.

Strike

Most Clubs have the ability to throw baseball-type ammos. These ammos are needed to activate their strike ability (with a few exceptions).

Upon throwing a baseball, the player must hit the ball before it touches any solid terrain. If they successfully hit the ball using said bat, it will launch the ball to the cursor's direction, along with granting the player the Home Run Buff, which increases Movement speed, Wing time, and Jump Height by 20%. If unsuccessful however, the player is penalized with 10 seconds of Ball Miss debuff, which disallows the player from throwing another ball until the timer is up.

Example of the Strike Mechanic, demonstrated with the Rolled Newspaper, and the Softball, on a Super Dummy from Fargo's Mod

Berserk

All clubs has this mechanic. Every hits on an enemy fills the meter until it's full. Once it fills, it becomes empty again, and the player now turns red, as indicated by a sound effect. During this time, the ball-throwing ability will no longer be usable, but in exchange, slightly heals the player and refills the berserk meter for every enemies they defeat. Additionally, it increases the weapon's dmg by 150%, Melee speed by 50%, and +10 crit chance. This usually lasts for 10 seconds before the effect wears off.

Example of the Berserk Mechanic. Demonstrated with Jeremy's Bat. A high Melee speed loadout is used just for this demo
