Dynamite

The Dynamite is an explosive in Swamp Attack.

Abilities
When used, Dynamite is thrown in an arc to the target and explodes, inflicting high damage with a small AOE.

Strategies
Dynamite is useful for taking out tougher enemies in the early game such as Turtles or anything with headwear as it can severely weaken them if they are not killed outright. It could also be used effectively on earlier bosses. Despite the description, usage against mosquitoes and most other aerial are inadvisable since they aren't worthy targets due to their low health and high agility.

However, aside from the return fire issue suffered by most projectile explosives, Dynamite loses utility fairly quickly due to its underwhelming performance. Unlike the more expensive options, Dynamite has very little coverage and no special effects since it just explodes, while a Battery costs three times as much but also persists much longer, can hit all enemies within its improved reach, and has a stunning effect that slows most foes. Its most glaring flaw, however, is the general lack of damage and sheer quantity of enemies, which renders it completely ineffective for its value.

Trivia

 * Dynamite resembles its stereotypical depiction in popular culture inspired from the California Gold Rush.
