Pop Cap

The Pop Cap is a common lobbed weapon with 2 damage, Knockback 1, and 6-10 uses. The lob arc lets it bypass units and obstacles to reach targets a straight attack couldn't hit. At 2 damage and 1 knockback it's unspectacular, but that combination of range and positioning utility makes it useful early on — particularly for nudging enemies out of formation or hitting targets tucked behind cover. Fish Hook converts the Knockback 1 into 1 bonus damage if you have it equipped. A serviceable early-game weapon; replace it once something with a meaningful effect appears.
