"Fireball is a high impact weapon. Ideal for when your enemy also has a lot of friends. Just don't get your fur singed, eh?"

The Fireball is one of the 5 default weapon types unlocked from the start of the game. It fires slow, high-damage fireballs that explode on contact, dealing damage to all nearby enemies. Generally the Fireball excels at clearing large groups of enemies, but is weak against bosses and other foes with high health.

Unique Variants

Currently there are 3 unique Fireball weapons, listed below. Like all unique weapons, they cannot be cursed or have any additional keywords added to them.

Name	Keywords	Description
Dragonbreath	All Pierce Gatling Wider Spray	Acts like a flamethrower. Sprays fire in front of the ship with mild inaccuracy.
Purifier	Holy	Shoots a regular fireball, but when it hits an enemy it shoots a laser forward. If it hits a wall, the laser will instead fire from the point of contact, similar to the Angel enemy. As this weapon has the Holy keyword, it will automatically spawn as a blessed weapon.
Worldfire	All-Blast	Shoots a normal fireball projectile that has an enhanced area-of-effect on impact that hits every enemy in the room.
