―theonlymod

Summary

This is the event melee for the R2DA Christmas Event 2018. This can be obtained from the Golumn Chest after defeating the Frost Golumn.

Background Story

It has been three years since the mass production of the Christmas Sword, and shortage of Christmas Trees resulted from it. The survivors, growing impatient at how long it takes to grow more trees, decided to just take the still-growing pine trees and turn them into swords. But because how short they were, it was decided to just turn them into spears.

Pros

Trip
Throwable
Knockback when thrown

Cons

Event Exclusive
Low Damage
No Multi Hit
Slow Swing Rate

Tips

Similar to the Rambo Knife, this can be thrown.
- This does deals 50% extra damage when thrown, dealing 38 (or 37) damage. Additionally, it can trip and push when thrown.
  - It is relatively accurate and does not drop off until around 100 studs, same as the Rambo Knife.
- Combined with the Rambo Knife, this can kill a person from range in Melee Smash.
  - Using this to trip at long range then throwing a Rambo Knife is effective.
  - It's relatively long length also makes it a good weapon in Melee Smash.
  - When frozen, the spear cannot damage you.
This takes around 3 seconds to regenerate after being thrown.
- Due to its high energy consumption, this is better thrown than hitting a zombie.
  - The Trip and Knockback trait is very useful in Rapid Infection and may be even more useful then the Ice Gun due to the fact that this can be thrown multiple times.
This is more of a collectable item due to its relative weakness.
- It acts the same way as the Toy Bow, however, since it also trips at range and is weak anywhere else.
