How to get Rot

  1. 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 →

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Plan from the balls you currently hold →

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.
