Cast-Iron Pan
Epic from Modern
Cast-Iron Pan is a weapon of Epic rarity in Cave Smash. It belongs to the Heavy family and deals 14.5 base damage plus 0.79 per point of Strength. Heavy weapons are slow and hit hard, and a hit that is not parried knocks the target back.
“Seasoned with victory.”
Field notes
The weapon on the logo. Heavy, with a parry bonus of 8 points because a pan is also a shield. Its hit effect is comic, and the sound is exactly what you imagine.
The Heavy family
Heavy weapons scale with Strength. They are slower in hand (88 % of normal speed) and make up for it with the biggest single hits in the game. A heavy hit that is not parried knocks the target back, which delays its next action by 15 % of a turn and puts distance between the fighters.
Who should use it
Strength builds. Put points in Strength for damage and parries, then Vitality to survive being the slower fighter. War Cry and Sore Loser add to already large hits.
Damage at a glance
Average damage of one attack before armor, crits and skills, for a Smasher of level 10 or more with that many points in Strength. Stars add 10 % each.

| 100 | 108 |
How to get it
Like every weapon in Cave Smash, Cast-Iron Pan cannot be bought. It appears in level-up drafts: 22 % of cards are weapons and 5 % of cards are Epic. The draft never shows the same item twice, and drawing it again adds a star.
