Steel Ball

The Steel Ball is a very rare heavy melee weapon, a dense metal sphere swung on a chain or simply hurled. It deals high physical impact damage with significant knockback, leveraging its substantial mass for brutal stopping power.

Metal-type weapons and the Steel Ball specifically may benefit from Tinkerer class synergies or Metal item set bonuses. The high knockback on each hit allows consistent repositioning of enemies, keeping them off balance between strikes. Chain or sphere weapon archetypes often have a wide arc, potentially hitting multiple enemies if they stand adjacent.

The Steel Ball fits naturally on high-STR, high-CON frontline cats that can afford to trade speed for power. Tinkerer builds that benefit from Metal synergies get additional value from the metal composition. Pair it with armor that boosts STR to push the damage further, and consider using it against clustered enemies where the knockback can chain-push multiple targets.
