Pombomb is an item players may accumulate over a run.

Strategy

The Pombomb is one of few cards with the capacity to hit every enemy at once, but it has the restriction that only enemies at max health are hit. This means it is a good option for early in a battle but becomes progressively less relevant as fewer and fewer enemies are at full health.

Giving Charms to the Pombomb lets it apply debuffs to many enemies in a single play. Frenzy does not work well with it, as its targets are recalculated after every hit. Any Charm that Consumes it is also useful, particularly the Molten Egg Charm, getting a single high-value mass attack in the early fight and removing it so that it never shows up again when it wouldn't be useful. The Flameblade Charm reduces its attack to 0 and applies Overburn instead, dealing significantly more damage and also allowing it to be played multiple times on the same enemy.

The Pombomb is notable in the fights with The Shelled Husks and The Ice Krabs, as these fights revolve around Shell and Block, respectively. Since the Pombomb hits anything at full health, it can hit these enemies repeatedly, as their Shell and Block are used up in place of health first.
