"Target gets beaned"
Hard Ball is an alchemy formula, and the second formula acquired by the player. An alchemist living in Bugmuck gives it to them.
Usage[]
Hard Ball creates a fast-moving projectile at the player's feet that quickly seeks out targets and damages them.
Hard Ball is the weakest offensive formula in the game. On average it does less damage than any other alchemy formula of the same level, and even at max level only does a couple hundred points of damage. It is handy for Prehistoria, when the player only has a few formulas at all, but the player should not spend much time or money in levelling up Hard Ball and swap it out for another damaging formula as soon as they acquire one.
Ingredients[]
Hard Ball requires 1 part Clay and 1 part Crystal for each casting.

Trivia[]
- It is one of the cheapest alchemy spells available, costing only 15 Talons per cast.
- Flash, Hard Ball, Fireball and Flare are the only 4 formulas that need to travel a varying distance between caster and target, which results in its damage being delayed by a varying amount of time because of how far the missile had to travel.
