RotHow to get Rot
Open the DLC content
Own and install Risen Ballbylon and complete the base game. Water and Wood are both new DLC base balls. Check DLC access →
Get both ingredients to level 3
Obtain Water and Wood when offered in your run. Choose each ball again in level-up upgrades until both are level 3. Merely holding both balls is not enough.
Select Rot at a Fusion Reactor
Pick up a Fusion Reactor when one drops and choose the Rot Evolution. Look for the exact target name rather than trying to create a regular mixed fusion. The finished ball should be named Rot.
What Rot does
Deals bonus damage equal to a percentage of the enemy’s current health, then destroys itself after the hit. It has a cooldown before it can be shot again.
Use & limits
The percentage uses current health, not maximum health or a flat bonus. Rot is consumed on the hit, and the next shot waits for a cooldown.
When to choose it
Choose Rot when a current-health-based bonus suits the target you are hitting. The same percentage contributes more against higher remaining health, so do not judge it as a fixed finishing-damage amount.
If the Evolution is missing
Check the exact ingredient pair and both current levels. A recipe sharing one ingredient is a different target: check that both selected names match Rot’s pair. If an ingredient has not appeared, it is still missing; no fixed drop time, minimum reactor count or guaranteed offer is implied.
If its effect looks different
A smaller percentage component against a nearly defeated enemy follows the current-health rule. Disappearing after the hit and waiting before the next shot are also expected behavior.
