Party Detonator

Party Detonator (rare) is the upgraded form earned by completing the Party Detonator sidequest. Like the sidequest version, it causes each dying unit to explode in confetti dealing 5 damage and knocking back nearby units 2 tiles, and fires a once-per-battle active that deals 999 damage to a random unit (capped at 25 vs. bosses). The exact mechanical difference between this and the sidequest form is not fully documented.

The death explosion mechanic triggers on every unit that dies, meaning large enemy groups create a cascade of 5-damage splashes and 2-tile knockbacks as they fall. In dense enemy formations this is highly satisfying — each kill ripples outward, potentially knocking additional enemies into walls or off advantageous positions. The 999-damage random target active is effectively a one-hit kill on anything that is not a boss.

Party Detonator excels in high-enemy-count fights where the chain death explosions provide AoE pressure. Save the 999-damage active for an enemy that would otherwise be hard to kill, or use it as an insurance finisher on a nearly-dead boss to avoid the 25-damage cap being wasted on a full-health boss. The knockback from confetti explosions can also reposition enemies away from your cats if placed strategically.
