Chum Bucket

A common weapon with 6 uses that lobs a bucket of chum up to 5 tiles, dealing 5 damage and creating a plus-shaped Creep puddle across 5 tiles on impact. Creep terrain slows enemies moving through it and can trigger Creep-related effects. Excellent for area denial and battlefield control. Range can be extended with range bonuses. Part of the Guts and Meat sets.

The Creep terrain created by Chum Bucket is persistent and affects a 5-tile cross pattern, making it one of the largest terrain-creation footprints among common weapons. Enemies moving through Creep are slowed, reducing their movement and potentially preventing them from reaching key positions in a single turn. At 5 damage per throw plus the ongoing terrain control, Chum Bucket provides exceptional value per use relative to its common rarity. Its membership in both the Guts and Meat sets makes it a versatile piece for multiple set-completion builds.

Chum Bucket excels in choke-point fights where enemies must funnel through specific tiles — toss it on a doorway or corridor to guarantee the Creep slow on every enemy that advances. The 5-tile range keeps the user at a safe distance while still covering important ground. Pair it with abilities or items that deal bonus damage or effects to slowed enemies for layered synergy. In sets like Guts or Meat that reward combining specific items, Chum Bucket can function as an early-acquired anchor piece.
