Wolf Dive
Damage: 4
Cost: 3
Pierces Walls: No
Obtained from: Grey Wolf

“DIVE AND RELEASE A SHOCKWAVE.”

Serval will jump about 2 blocks higher than normal and then dive down at a 45 degree angle. Contact with the ground will release two projectiles that will travel along the ground in opposite directions for one second or until a change in elevation is reached. Dive can be cancelled by tapping Jump or the direction opposite of the direction you are facing. The resulting height from the initial jump can be used for traversal. If used in mid-air, the initial jump will not take place and you will dive immediately. You are immune from damage while diving.

Defeats Japanese Crested Ibis. Black Jaguar is immune.

Glowing Boomerang
Damage: 1.5
Cost: 1
Pierces Walls: Yes
Obtained from: Margay

“PLEASE DO NOT THROW OBJECTS AT THE IDOLS.”

Throws a glow stick that eventually slows down and turns back in the opposite direction. The projectile is not destroyed on contact with enemies, so it can hit one or more targets multiple times. The projectile will de-spawn if it goes too far off-screen. Enemies positioned on the peak of its arc can take multiple hits before it turns the other way. It will not pierce shields.

Defeats Blackbuck. Japanese Crested Ibis is immune.

Obtained from: Blackbuck

“PRESS AGAIN TO SPLIT THE PROJECTILE.”

When fired, one projectile will move forward while two will spin around Serval at 180 degree increments. The projectiles encircling Serval can hit multiple times, but the forward projectile will be destroyed on impact. Pressing the shoot button again will cause the forward projectile to split, creating two projectiles going up and down respectively.

Defeats African Rock Python. Vampire Bat is immune.

Spin Paradise
Damage: 3
Cost: 3
Pierces Walls: N/A
Obtained from: Birds of Paradise

“SPIN, PROTECTING YOU FROM HARM.”

While active, you can do continuous damage to enemies in your hitbox. You are also invulnerable for the duration of the attack. When used in mid-air, you will perform a small jump, halting downward momentum. If timed properly, a new spin can begin immediately after the first one, leaving zero frames of vulnerability.

Defeats Black Jaguar. Grey Wolf is immune.

Python Whip
Damage: 2
Cost: 0.5
Pierces Walls: Yes
Obtained from: African Rock Python

“SHORT-RANGE WHIP FOR DEFENSE AND RECREATION.”

Attacks with a whip with two hit-boxes. The first hit-box is behind Serval during the wind-up frame and the second is in front of her during the actual attack. Enemies defeated with the whip will increment the counter that determines weapon energy drops twice as fast. The whip forces Vampire Bat to change direction during her swoop and dash attacks.

Defeats Vampire Bat. Margay is immune (but will still take damage from the wind-up frames).
