Tools are the root of Doomspire Brickbattle, and will enable you to win games.

You will automatically spawn in with a Sword, Rocket Launcher, SuperBall, Bomb, Slingshot, Trowel and Paintball Gun.

Trowel
The Trowel can be used in two major ways. The first is blocking projectiles, such as the rocket. The Trowel has a fast enough recharge you can consistently use it to block attacks. The second (and arguably more important) use is traveling the bottom of the map. The most obvious use of this is to wallsave, which is placing a wall on the void as you are falling into it. If you can land on it you would have escaped certain death. However, this mechanic can also be used to destroy enemy Doomspires faster, which is by placing a wall at the bottom and blowing up the bottom wall. If you do this properly you can get to the bottom floor far faster. In games where the bridge is removed, you can also chain walls to make your own bridge to other Doomspires. However, bomb launching is usually more efficient than this. The trowel can also be used to climb up a damaged Doomspire.

Sword
The Sword is one of the most useful weapons in the game. If you double click will let you hover in the air for about a second, and instantly kills a player if is completely swung and contacts a player. It damages very quickly if a player touches it. It is best used using Shift Lock. If you jump and double click at the same time you can get to high places. It should not be used against a player using a Rocket Launcher or SuperBall.

Rocket Launcher
The Rocket Launcher can be used to destroy towers or kill players or rocket jump. This is a very dangerous weapon, as it can one hit players. Its main drawback as a weapon is its high reload time, however it can be used to eliminate incoming players with a Sword. It is also useful in destroying towers when the bridge has been destroyed.

SuperBall
The SuperBall is a fast reloading ball that has an aiming system which is able to be turned on or off in Settings. It also bounces around, which can be usefull to overwhelm players. It can also be used to take down players that are slingshot flying.

Bomb
Bombs are the main method of destroying Doomspires. They create a large blast which can be used to take out a Doomspire very quickly. They can also be used to bomb jump, a trick in which a player places a bomb and jumps at the same time. This will make the player jump very high. A player can also be launched by a bomb, however this is more risky, as it is very easy to overshoot your target.

Slingshot
The slingshot is able to fire gravity affected pellets quick and able to do a decent amount of damage if used correctly. It can also be used to slingshot fly. Overall it is outclassed by the Paintball Gun as a weapon and is generally not used by most players.

Paintball Gun
The paintball gun is used to fire paintballs with a low reload time. These paintballs are not affected by gravity. It can be very useful a a long ranged weapon. Because of its short reload time, the player doesn't have to be as precise with their aiming as with the Rocket Launcher, however it deals less damage, taking five hits to kill.
