Explosions

Explosions are a frequent game mechanic within the Superfighters Series.

Function
Explosions in the Superfighters series are potentially deadly in nature, they can deal a lot of damage depending on how close you are to the explosion. While explosions can easily devastate a single fighter, for better effectiveness, make sure multiple fighters are caught near an explosion to deal more damage to different enemies. A good use for explosives is their ability to indirect attacks. You can use them for attacking behind corners, knocking players for a later attack and making them fall down cliffs.

Combat
Explosions in the original Superfighters were not very effective because the damage output was relatively low. However, grenades were very effective as means to zone-out CPUs and push them off pits.

Combat
Unlike Superfighters, explosions are extremely effective and lethal in SFD. They can take more than half of a fighters' health easily. Grenades and mines can easily deal 70 damage to a fighter, and if 2 explosion sources are stacked up, they will instantly kill a full-health fighter inside the max damage radius.

Explosive barrels and propane tanks are very dangerous, they spawn commonly across official maps and are something to be very aware of when in combat.

Radius
All explosions in SFD, despite having different damages, work in the same way in terms of radius. They have 2 radii: a small max damage radius, and a bigger radius with decaying damage. If a fighter is inside the max damage radius, no matter how distant from the explosion center, they will always take maximum damage. If a fighter is outside the max damage radius, but still inside the explosion radius, they will take variable damage, depending on the distance from the explosion center, ranging from around max damage to around 5 damage.

All explosions from all sources have the same radius:

-Max Damage radius: ~24 WU

-Outside of explosion radius: ~42 WU
