Upgrade Paths
Anchor’s A-Yay!!
Thumpling’s primary attack Anchor Assault receives damage and combo upgrades on this path. The attack is slow, but its extended range and extra damage are tremendous benefits. Memorize Thumpling’s Combos and practice them to deal with enemies up close or at mid range. The Power Swing combo ends with a 360-degree spin to deal with enemies that surround you. Whirlpool Ripper is the best choice at mid range due to its power upgrade from Bermuda Triangle and the lingering whirlpool that damages any enemies unfortunate enough to be nearby.
Up Close and Personal
Thumpling’s trademark Belly Slide lets him power through large groups of enemies. His speed while sliding makes him hard to hit and the Belly Flop doubles as an excellent evasive maneuver, even if you don’t focus on upgrading it. Breakfast in Bed provides the ability to chop at enemies while sliding to add extra damage. Be careful though, all that sliding makes it very easy to go over the edge! Bad Sushi is a mid-range attack that adds variety but it’s not as effective as Anchor Assault. Armor of the Sea is a great passive ability that increases armor, allowing Thumpling to take more damage up close or during a slide.
Soul Gem Ability
Blowhard: 4000
While belly sliding, press Attack 1 to spray water and starfish.
This is a great add-on for the Belly Flop attack. When you hit Attack 1 Thumpling blows a starfish and water out of his blowhole, which blasts any enemies he is sliding near. This can be done once per slide, but is very effective, especially if you miss with the belly Flop attack directly.
