Useful Info
Ballistomycete spores are fast-moving, suicidal creatures created by ballistomycetes. On contact with a target, or if killed, they'll explode in a 3x3 area. This deals 3d(6 + Invocations skill) damage[1][2] and confuses living, breathing targets. They have only 1 HP, so any successful attack will destroy them.
Ballistomycetes are never found in the dungeon proper, but can be created using Fedhas' Grow Ballistomycete ability.
Tips & Tricks
- Confusion is a very strong effect. A ballistomycete colony or 2 can take out most early game threats on its own, and help take out later ones.
- Spores aren't mindful of what they hit. Don't be next to a spore when it explodes, or you'll take a huge chunk of damage and be confused. You can't tell them to do anything, so don't bother.
History
- Prior to 0.24, ballistomycetes could reproduce via spores. The spores left mold as they moved, and new ballistomycetes could grow on it. Also, they had an explosion radius of 2 (5x5), and its damage was fixed at 3d15.
- Prior to 0.19, ballistomycete spores were known as giant spores.
- Prior to 0.17, ballistomycete colonies could spawn naturally, instead of being exclusively created by Fedhasites.
