Synergies

• This weapon is affected by the mutation Ammo.

Notes

• This weapon is overall a very decent option for defeating enemies at range, and moreso, at differing elevation. Unlike many other Ranged Weapons, Medusa's head can be used to reliably start a fight at a lower elevation due to its petrifaction and how it rolls along the ground.
  • Due to this it's also very reliable for safely removing curses at 4bc or lower.

• This weapon will not damage Dancers when rolling along the ground, ignoring them.

History

3.3: Introduced. 3.4: Increased activation damage from 25 to 45. Ammo count is now affected by Ammo.
