Hitboxes

Special move

The throw's base damage is always 1%, whereas the detonation's windboxes deal damage equal to the speed the grenade is moving at during each hit, following the item throw damage formula, for around 0.1% to 0.9% per hit. Likewise, the explosion deals 12.6% damage, equal to 13 - 0.4 via the formula.
