Headstompers

The Headstompers is a item in Risk of Rain that damages enemies by falling on them.

This item is arguably one of the worst items in Risk of Rain, as it is very hard to deal any damage with it's effect on purpose, and trying is very likely to get the player killed (On the bright side, it can proc on-hit effects).

Character Synergies

 * The jump boost from the Miner's To the Stars ability is high enough to activate Headstompers.

Item Synergies

 * Rusty Jetpacks can work well with this item. With several of these, you can attack enemies by jumping on them, since height becomes high enough to activate Headstompers.


 * Careful with Rusty Jetpacks, though. You might never be able to use this item very well with it. You need to release the Jump button if you're falling already to avoid gravity reduction.


 * Maximizing Headstompers can also mean you lose HP from falling damage. Being high enough, you can meet Fire Shield's activation proc. Falling down can activate Headstompers and Fire Shield, dealing huge amount of damage.

Trivia
The text "Recreation of old school video games that you have seen" is most probably a reference to the "Super Mario Bro's" series of games, where enemies are defeated by jumping on top of their head.

It could also be a reference to the MapleStory game item: "Facestompers", as indicated by the "Sent to:" address.
