# Weapons There are a huge amount of peculiar weapons in the game: they mix improbable items and crazy effects, such as exploding rubber chickens (with a pulley in the middle) or sperm whales falling from the sky. Before starting a match, the player carefully assigns one of them to each of his/her own Angrymals, trying to balance firepower with shorter reloading times. There are 4 damage types a weapon can inflict: * **Impact**: basic one - the faster the impact, the more damage is inflicted * **Fire**: building blocks can be set on fire, based on their material, and are damaged over time; at the end of each turn, more flammable blocks can spread the conflagration to nearby blocks * **Electricity**: upon impact, electricity will spread through all conductive blocks, hopefully reaching some Angrymals and damaging them * **Explosion**: explosions will both damage nearby blocks and fling them away; inside a specific range, all joints will be shattered Stronger weapons require more turns to be reloaded and thus to be ready to be used again: it’s often a good practice to mix some slow but powerful weapons with some weaker ones that are always ready to shoot. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
