Notes[edit]

  • Very useful against melee foes, especially ones who have been hit by Glob Shot or another crippling attack, which forces them to stay in the puddle longer and receive more damage.
  • Acid Bomb will hit a total of 6 times, 7 when traited with HGH.
  • The leap backwards can be cancelled by pressing the swap weapon button. Note that this must be done after the leap has begun, has doing it earlier will also cancel the acid bomb itself.
