The Burning Strife is a Hardmode rogue spiky ball that is dropped by Goblin Warlocks. When used, it throws a shadowflame spiky ball that bounces off tiles and is affected by gravity. Upon hitting an enemy, it shatters into a damaging particle explosion that deals 33% of the weapon's damage. The spiky ball and explosions inflict the Shadowflame debuff.

Performing a stealth strike with the Burning Strife causes the next spiky ball thrown to deal 130% damage and pierce 4 times before shattering on the fifth. When the spiky ball shatters, it causes a larger particle explosion on each enemy hit that deals 42.9% damage.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

Trivia

  • The Burning Strife was implemented based on a community suggestion made by Iris Cassandra Saintclaire (known as Lilith Saintclaire at the time) on the mod's Discord server, where it was called "Shadowflame Core".
