Spicy Meatball
Spicy Meatball is a Common Item in Megabonk. It gives every hit a 25% chance to trigger an explosion, dealing partial area damage. These small blasts scale with the user's base damage and can chain with other AoE effects.

Strategy & Synergies
- Extremely effective in builds that output many hits per second — e.g., Firestaff, Bananarang, or Aura.
- When combined with Quantity Tome or Damage Tome, explosions stack rapidly and clear dense swarms with ease.
- Amog and Poison Flask benefit indirectly since explosions spread status effects faster across grouped enemies.
- During Final Swarm phases, Meatball procs create natural crowd control, giving breathing room even without freeze or knockback.
- Pairs well with Power Gloves and Thunder Mitts — overlapping on-hit AoE effects amplify total burst damage.
- Especially strong on characters that specialize in hit frequency (e.g., Fox, CL4NK, and Athena).
