    It is known by the noob just as the 'water arrow', but by the experienced player as the 'f*cking useless water arrow'.

    Water arrows are indeed the 3rd most expensive type of arrows in the game and are woefully underpowered and limited in their use. I hope to rectify this gravely misunderstood and useless weapon by suggesting a couple of minor changes and slight adjustments.

    trivial cost decrease & ammunition increase
    For the heavy price of nearly 25 coins, one gets a limited amount of 2 water arrows. While the underlying concept of water arrows is inherently underpowered, I propose 2 slight changes -beginning steps- to make this wet projectile a more viable weapon:
    • Coin cost decreased to 5 coins
    • Archer receives 4 water arrows on purchase instead of the pitiful amount of 2
    nerf the sponge
    One of the biggest counters to the water arrow is the incredibly useful sponge. For little more than 40 wood, this miracle item severely reduces the stun duration of water to almost nothing. It virtually nullifies the water arrow. In fact, the sponge is probably even more popular than the vaunted bucket, another much used (and abused) item. I again propose a slight chance to give water users a sliver of a chance;
    • Slight cost increase to 250 wood 75 gold
    • stuns should still last somewhat longer, preferably only reducing stun duration by 15% or less
    other trivial changes
    • increase water stun hitbox (by 200% would be a good start)
    • if an enemy knight gets hit by 3 consecutive water arrows, a shark will spawn and consume the knight
    • increase stun duration to 5 seconds
    conclusion
    While these changes might still not give the water arrows the edge it needs to be viable in the meta, I think we'd go a long way by implementing most of these changes.

    That's alright, I prepared and posted a mini essay, and deleted it after seeing the bottom.

    I reckon water arrows should be able to create a small pool of water when they land and the water gets larger as the more the water arrows land. #How2FloodTheServer

    it was actually an opinion. there is no way to factually define balance.

    Sorry guys, I had a feeling how controversial :water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow::water_arrow: are in KAG and couldn't help but write a joke post about it ::D:
    The main drive for this satire was the famous sponge 50 :wood_mat: buff against water weapons, which was -as it turns out- quite unpopular for its one-antistun-use purpose.

    A Knight should just spawn with 1 water bomb and an archer with 2 water arrows. That's fair.
