Rot Balls are craftable Pre-Hardmode rogue weapons that are also dropped by The Hive Mind. They can pierce two enemies before breaking. They have a 50% chance of being recovered after being thrown. They function almost identically to Tooth Balls.

Performing a stealth strike with Rot Balls causes a shaderain cloud to spawn above every enemy that is hit and rain down raindrops that damage enemies. Both the weapon and stealth strikes inflict the Brain Rot debuff.

The Rot Ball cannot be reforged, and therefore cannot have modifiers.
