Prestige options

Taking one of these cards from a boss chest changes how the spell behaves for the rest of that run. You pick one.

Fae Fire

Your Fireball polymorphs monsters and burns them with flames of the Fae Wyld. Monsters affected by Fae Fire take 0.25% more damage.

Felflame

Your Fireball corrupts all monsters within its blast. Instead of burn. Felflame inflicts monsters with felfire and deals additional damage for each condition afflicting the monster.

Phoenix Fire

+50% Fireball Size
+50% Fireball Damage
Your Fireball becomes a roaring phoenix that pierces enemies and erupts at the target location. The phoenix then returns to you before erupting one more time.

Special interactions

When this spell overlaps another one on the field, 3 pairings do something extra. Every pairing in this build is on Special interactions.

FireballandInk

The ink pool catches fire. Enemies standing in it take Ink and Burn.

Ink: The enemy is stained dark and moves at half speed. A burning enemy that is also inked feeds the Inky Ignition perk. Unlike the crowd control statuses, ink lands on a boss too. Lasts 3 s at the start of a run, set by Ink Duration.

Burn: Each tick deals the Burn damage multiplied by the run's Burn bonus. 2 damage every 0.2 s for 2 s. One application: 20 damage (10 ticks). A second application refreshes the timer; it does not stack.

FireballandRaise Dead

Your undead catch fire. They apply Burn to enemies they touch. This does not happen if you took So Below.

catch fire: The undead moves 1.5 times as fast for 2 s at the start of a run, stretched by duration bonuses. Touching an enemy applies Burn.

So Below: You Raise Dead not from the dirt but the Below. Whenever your undead would poison a monster, they instead inflict felfire.

FireballandRiptide

Steam bursts where the blast hits the wave.

Steam: Stays on the ground and hits again on its own rhythm until it runs out; lasts 5 s; hits every 0.25 s; applies Burn; damage over time hits x1.6 harder. Takes its bonuses from Fireball.
