The Ball O' Hurt attacking Target Dummies.

The Ball O' Hurt is a pre-Hardmode flail that has a 1/5 (20%) chance of being obtained from destroying Shadow Orbs found in The Corruption or a 1/5 (20%) chance from Corrupt Crates and Defiled Crates, which are fished in the Corruption.

Its Crimson flail counterpart is The Meatball. Its Crimson Heart melee weapon counterpart is The Rotted Fork.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Tips

It is particularly useful when fighting worm enemies such as the Eater of Worlds, as it can do constant damage to multiple segments.
