# Vaal Fireball
[[Vaal Fireball]] is a Vaal spell that launches fireballs in all directions around the character. The fireballs will launch rapidly one at a time rotating clockwise around the player, continuing until all 32 fireballs have been launched.

## Skill functions and interactions
- **Area of Effect**: The radius of the explosion caused by collision (with either an enemy or a terrain obstruction) is affected by all AoE increases. Full spell damage is done to any enemy in range of the explosion.
- **Piercing**: A fireball that pierces an enemy and hits another enemy will only cause the AoE damage effect on the last enemy struck. Any enemies hit by a projectile which successfully pierces or chains will take full spell damage but the projectile won't explode.
- **For**k: Fork creates new projectiles on impact, and fireball explodes on impact, regardless of whether it is a first-generation projectile or a forked, second-generation projectile. Thus, the initial fireball projectile causes an explosion on impact, this impact spawns forked projectiles; the forked projectiles will also explode when making impact with a valid target.

- [[Fury Valve]]: Changes Vaal Fireball to launch 1 fireball that will split into 32 auto targeting fireballs if you manage to hit the initial target.
- **Positioning**: Phasing allows characters to move through monsters. Standing in the exact center of a very large monster while casting vaal fireball will cause most or all fireballs to hit 1 single target. Small rooms will also cause most or all hits against walls to overlap area of effect damage onto 1 target.
