The spiked ball is a trap component, which means that it can be mounted in weapon traps but cannot be wielded directly. While the spiked ball deals the least damage of any trap-exclusive weapon, it strikes three times, giving it the second highest potential damage of any trap component, almost as much as the legendary Large, serrated disc. Despite the slightly lower damage threshold, the critical boost possessed by the spiked ball may make it more effective than the disc against enemies with internal organs.

Spiked bals require either 1 wood or 1 bar of a metal to produce.

These have been taken from raw/objects/item_trapcomp.txt:

Item quality and the material the weapon is made of can change the damage points of a weapon.
