Hey Dungeoneers,

As I've mentioned before, the next update to Shattered Pixel Dungeon will feature an overhaul to thrown weapons! They will works in sets of three, which can be upgraded as a unit.

What might not be immediately apparent is that this extends far beyond just upgrades, by having thrown weapons work as a 'unit' together it's also much more feasible to have various weapon properties apply to them. This includes identification, natural upgrades, curses, and enchantments!

Are you planning to adjust damage and upgrade scaling for throwing weapons? Right now a highly upgraded throwing weapon is ultra powerful. Having 3 of the same one for the same investment would be a significant buff to that play style.

There’s a diminishing returns effect with throwing weapons where having a lot of them isn’t that useful unless your enemy is immobilized somehow. But having 3 that you can throw while an enemy is closing would be very strong with upgrades. You could potentially just be using a stack of upgraded throwing weapons for the majority of your fights and only need to worry about large numbers of enemies.

a few of them are selectively getting damage nerfs, but no overall nerfs planned yet. I agree this is something to keep an eye on.
