The Acid Bubble is one of the 13 weapons a player can obtain in the game BattleBlock Theater.
Information[]
The Acid Bubble is a very deadly weapon in the right hands. It kills instantly, and it can be used for platforming by jumping on top of the bubble. The bubble can also be swatted down in the air with the Spike attack in order to keep it below jumping height, or to deflect it back at another player. However, it moves slowly and travels diagonally upward, making it hard to hit swift opponents. It is also prone to reflection, like any other weapon, making this more balanced than other weapons such as the Fireball or the hard hitting Grenade.
When an opponent is hit by it, their skin completely corrodes away, leaving behind a skull and some bones that have been turned a sickly green colour by the Acid Bubble.
Despite its potentially powerful offensive properties, the main reason why it's considered superior to every weapon is the fact that it tremendously aids platforming and traversing the stage. By firing the bubble and jumping on it, it gives the player a small boost equivalent to a double jump, making it extremely useful for reaching areas. This is generally less time-consuming than other methods, and unlike most other weapons, does not require precise jumping and timing. This makes it arguably the most useful weapon for Insane Mode, if not the most versatile.
The Acid Bubble is also among the safest Weapons in the game. While it can be reflected by a Fan easily, any other usually working method requires precise timing and is much riskier due to the fact that this kills instantly. This makes it a very safe weapon to use, allowing more carefree or reckless opponents to use this with less risk than other weapons.
Despite all these advantages, the Acid Bubble isn't flawless. Killing opponents can be difficult, because it travels in a diagonal trajectory and is very slow, requiring the player to be pretty close to an enemy for it to actually hit, although swatting the bubble downwards can partially mitigate this, even more so if a player is running along the ground towards you. Additionally, the bubble isn't that great from a distance due to its slow and awkward trajectory and being easily telegraphed.
Regardless of its flaws, the Acid Bubble is strongly recommended to use, as it is among the best, if not the best, weapons in the game.
Tech[]
- When jumping once and then using the Spike Attack, you gain forwards momentum. When jumping twice you get little to no momentum from your spike attacks, however, if you double jump, and then land on an acid bubble and spike attack, it acts as if you've only jumped once which lets you get the momentum from jumping once.
