| Japanese | ショットガン |
Shotgun (ショットガン) is a weapon that blasts a wide spread of seven pellets downward for five charges. Its recoil is the strongest of any weapon: each blast pushes the player upward about as much as a jump.
Behavior
Each pellet deals 6 damage, so a close-range blast deals high total damage, but the spread and short pellet range weaken it at a distance. The heavy charge cost means a default charge meter only holds one shot. While gem high the blast more than doubles to 15 pellets.
