Arena Message

Attacks and hits every round with both messages. The damage dealt in each message is independent of the other, but both follow the formulas given below.
The value of X depends on whether the crab is on the land or in the sea.
- On land, X ranges from 1 to min(10,floor(weight/2)) damage.
- In The Sea, X ranges from 1 to floor(weight/2). Same as on land, but without the damage cap of 10.
The imitation whetstone gives +5 damage and doubles the damage cap when on land (to 20) when it is equipped.
