New kit suggestion: Demolition kit

Suggestions SkyWars: Kits
1
  • Made as an opposite to the Builder kit, the Demolition kit destroys masses of blocks faster than any other kit with it’s tools. This allows you to make multiple holes straight to the void, or if conditions are met, bomb an entire island. Trappers will like this kit.

SUMMARY OF THE KIT’S ABILITIES

Starting Items:

  • Replace Iron pickaxe with a Diamond pickaxe
  • Drill
  • 2 block Breaker Boomboxes
  • Feather falling Iron boots(this has no particular use, it’s just to make this kit visibly an opposite to the Builder kit which has a starting Golden helmet)

The starting hotbar will look like this

Other (non starting) Items:

  • 4 Crumbling Cobble every 15 seconds (same rate as the builder kit getting blocks).
  • 2 Block Breaker Boomboxes per kill

Hotbar
I am aware this looks cramped, but most players will dump the axe, replace the sword, or get block breakers from the chest anyway(if there is). This will be a bit annoying to organize especially for mobile players though.

THE DRILL

Drill

  • Can instamine any block, but only if it is directly below you.
    Because of this, you can mine ores faster than any other kit and turn islands into cheese pretty quickly.

BLOCK BREAKER BOOMBOXES

  • Don’t know if the treasure wars one is throwable, but this one is.
  • Almost the same destructive power as normal TNT (this is weaker) without the knockback.
  • Less cooldown when throwing compared to other boomboxes; this one has a cooldown of only 2 seconds after throwing.

Ambiguity of features / possible nerfs or buffs

  • I suggested for a Netherite Pickaxe in this other kit suggestion, which I think fits with the kit in mind; being able to access hidden & underground players faster. But I think it is more fitting to add a Netherite pick in the Demolition kit.

  • A limit to how many blocks the drill can break; maybe 64 or 128 (2 stacks of blocks).

  • The Drill having to recharge after breaking a certain amount of blocks.

  • Being able to make an entire island disappear is a cool ability I think, and it is balanced out because you need to kill players for a large amount of block boomboxes needed to just wipe an island off the map. However it might be too useless, because bedrock bridging. So some possible buffs include:

press me

-3 or 4 block boomboxes per kill
-Be able to damage players in it’s explosion radius(still no knockback, maybe a little)
-Smaller throw cooldown and smaller explosion countdown

Implementing just two of these will make it powerful, but balanced.

  • If somehow the boomboxes are OP, then here are some possible nerfs:
press me

-4 second cooldown after throwing, just like other boomboxes
-You only get 1 boombox per kill
-TW parity: the boom box will be the same as the Treasure wars one

good idea but quite op

pick seems too fast. it should obviously be very fast but that’s like Sonic-level lol, go back to Usain Bolt.
the block boombox should only break maybe a 3x3x16 holy. 16 blocks down. a whole island seems a bit much. and yeah probably just one per kill instead.

and the dia pick there is so unnecessary lol

well-made suggestion tho, gj. just edit it a bit if others say it’s op too

Like that u may delete island and the drill is too op

To clarify the Boombox has about the strength of normal tnt.

Maybe you start off with only 1 block breaker boombox and you get only 1 per kill like you stated.
Because 2 seems like a lot.
And the drill should disappear after 128 blocks.
And maybe because it seems underwhelming it starts of with an iron axe instead of a stone one to mine chest and do a bit more damage(not like anyone would use a axe for damage but still)
Anyway, you have my vote.

Crater
The damage done with only 2 kills worth of boomboxes (2 boomboxes per kill, 2 at spawn=6)
Take of this what you will, but let’s just say I’m glad I added the possible nerfs part in the end.

7

That seems a lot bigger than 6 block breaker boomboxes in tw

8

The boomboxes I suggested were almost the strength of normal TNT

9

I feel like if this was implemented they would use the tw ones.

way too much. and it’d be too messy. since you’ll have many of them, just explode a 3x3x3 area in the map. it’s sw afterall. most maps are small.

I’d suggest only player-placed blocks would be destroyed, like in Treasure Wars.
The games would look way too messy
