Gumdrop Bounce Pad[]
- Main article: Gumdrop Bounce Pad
The Gingerbread Man can buy gumdrop bounce pads from the Item Shop for 40 Iron each, which can be placed to bounce the Gingerbread Man or its teammates high up and excludes fall damage when they hit the ground when touched, whilst granting 30 shield to them. The shield will last for 5 seconds, and enemies will not receive the bounce pad if they break it.
However, if the Gingerbead Man or its teammates have the grounded effect on them, they will not be able to use the bounce pad.
Strategy[]
Gingerbread Man is a kit that offers excellent mobility to you and your teammates. The extreme jump height can allow you to easily outmaneuver opponents in combat as well as giving shield to help take more damage. Gumdrop bounce pads can help in multiple situations including breaking beds, attacking enemies and moving around the map more easily.
Early game, the bounce pads are relatively expensive so you should focus on getting diamonds to upgrade your team gen in order to be able to get more iron and buy more bounce pads faster. Make sure not to spend too much iron on them as you should still get armor and swords to be able to fight.
In combat, you can place a gumdrop bounce pad right before engaging in battle. The high jump lets you drop down and get the first hit on your opponent before they know what is going on. You can bounce several times which when done correctly can let you hit the enemy several times more than they hit you. And if they try breaking your bounce pad, then you can break it yourself to get it back since other players have to hit it 5 times while you only need to hit it once to get it back. Then place it back, get the jump on your enemy, and repeat.
And if you are outgeared and outmatched, all is not lost since you can use the gumdrop for a quick getaway. It will take some practice, but you can break the gumdrop bounce pad just as you jump on it to bounce up high and get the bounce pad back. Gloops will prevent this though it can be really hard for your enemy to hit you while you are jumping 20+ blocks into the air at a time, and then you can just move out of the way of enemy projectiles. You should carry 2 or 3 bounce pads on you since you might make a mistake and accidentally not break the gumdrop in time, so you won't have to turn around and collect it if you miss.
