Dolomite Link

Dolomite Link is a Technique for Ace, obtained by defeating Lethal Tempo. When used, Ace shoots out a grappling wire directly forwards. If the wire connects with an enemy, wall or attackable switch, Ace will be pulled directly into it, exploding on collision and launching Ace upwards. Upon a successful grapple, Ace becomes immune to melee damage until half a second after the animation ends.

Strategies

 * Ace is still vulnerable to projectiles when using the Technique, so be careful when grappling into enemies which fire projectiles or release projectiles on death.
 * Acquiring Zookeeper's March severely increases the damage of Dolomite Link, causing it to deal 80 damage unless Ace's power strength is greater than +30.

Bugs

 * If the player's Power Strength stat is negative, the bonus damage from Zookeeper's March will not apply.
