The Spartan Sandals are a meleeweapon which knock enemies away from the player, causing them to take extra damage if they hit a wall or similar solid obstacle while being knocked back.
Details
Special Effects:
Pushes enemies away quickly for 0.5 seconds on hit, interrupting attacks and dealing fall damage.
Attacks that connect with enemy bombs launch them back as if they were parried by a shield, but at 45% of shield-parry power (40.5 base damage instead of the usual 90 base damage).
Enemies that hit a wall or solid barrier shortly after getting knocked back by this weapon take an additional 90 base damage.
Foes also take at least the minimum amount of fall damage upon impact with the ground no matter how short the fall, as well as dealing AoE damage to nearby enemies.
The description of the item and the item itself, including its Legendary version, are a reference to the famous quote from Zack Snyder's film 300 "This. is. Sparta!", shouted by Leonidas, Spartan king, right before kicking a Persian messenger into a pit.
