Fireball /6 ⍟
A fire based, projectile, area of effect spell that deals fire damage to enemies with a high chance to ignite, causing fire damage over time.
NameShow Full Descriptions
Burning Damage SupportGreatly increases the damage over time dealt by ignites inflicted from Fireball.
Combustion SupportGives Fireball more fire damage, additional chance to ignite enemies and reduces the fire resistance of ignited enemies. This makes it a great all-round support for any fire based skill.
Deadly Ailments SupportReduces the hit damage of Fireball in exchange for more ailment damage. This makes it particularly strong for Fireball characters that want to focus on scaling the damage over time of ignites.
Ignite Proliferation SupportIncreases the chance to inflict ignites on enemies with Fireball, whilst also enabling ignites to spread to nearby enemies.
Lesser Multiple Projectiles SupportIncreases the amount of projectiles Fireball casts, allowing it to hit more targets at once. At later levels, obtain the Greater Multiple Projectiles Support gem to hit enemies in a larger area.
Swift Affliction SupportDecreases the total duration of ignites on enemies but increases the damage that ignites deal, allowing your ignites to burn faster and stronger.

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.

  • Fork: 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.

  • If you use a skill that causes a projectile spiral (like Vaal Fireball) from inside an enemy, then only the first projectile can collide with the enemy now.
  • 1.1.0d
  • Vaal Skill soul counts were initially balanced for Merciless difficulty, where there are more monsters. We want them to be easier to use in Normal and Cruel difficulty. We have halved the number of souls required for each skill. In Cruel difficulty, skills require 50% more souls to uses. In Merciless difficulty, they require 100% more (which is the same as before the patch).
