The Rot Ball is a craftable Pre-Hardmode rogue weapon that is also dropped by The Hive Mind. When used, it throws a rot ball that travels a moderate distance before being affected by gravity and pierces twice.

Performing a stealth strike with the Rot Ball causes a shade nimbus cloud to spawn above every enemy hit by the weapon and rain down raindrops that damage enemies. Up to 2 shade nimbus clouds can exist at a time, causing the older existing cloud to dissipate when a new cloud spawns. The weapon and raindrops inflict the Brain Rot debuff.

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

Notes

• Due to the maximum amount of clouds that spawn from the Rot Ball's stealth strike, the Tooth Ball's clouds will interfere with the Rot Ball's existing clouds, causing them to dissipate and vice versa.
  • Though it is possible for one of each type of cloud to exist at the same time.
