Shuriken
Epic from Modern
Shuriken is a weapon of Epic rarity in Cave Smash. It belongs to the Thrown family and deals 14.5 base damage plus 0.79 per point of Agility. Thrown weapons hit from a distance, cannot be countered and run out of ammunition.
“Comes back never. Bring spares.”
Field notes
Thrown-only, eight stars per fight, the most accurate Epic weapon. They spin flat through the air and never come back.
The Thrown family
Thrown weapons scale with Agility. They are always thrown, never swung. A throw can be dodged but never counter-attacked or kept at a distance, a hit pushes the target one step back, and throws hit 3 % harder for every step between the fighters. Each throw uses one ammunition, hit or miss; when it runs out, the hand is empty.
Who should use it
Agility builds that prefer not to be hit back. Keep a melee weapon in the bag for when the ammunition is gone.
Damage at a glance
Average damage of one attack before armor, crits and skills, for a Smasher of level 10 or more with that many points in Agility. Stars add 10 % each.
| Agility | Per attack |
|---|---|
| 20 | 22 |
| 50 | 39 |
| 100 | 68 |
How to get it
Like every weapon in Cave Smash, Shuriken cannot be bought. It appears in level-up drafts: 22 % of cards are weapons and 5 % of cards are Epic. The draft never shows the same item twice, and drawing it again adds a star.
