“
Do you know why we all carry around these spiked balls? Because I don't.
— The Goblin Tinkerer

Not to be confused with the invincible Spike Ball enemy found in the Dungeon.

Spiky Ball (demo) — Animation of the Spiky Ball.

Mawio Balls are consumable ranged / throwing weapons that are primarily used as passive traps, by tossing them to the ground, where enemies who pass over them will take damage up to 6 times (after which the Mawio Balls vanish). If not destroyed, they will automatically vanish after 1 minute. They can also be used as throwing weapons, but they have a very short arc and quickly fall to the ground. Mawio Balls are dropped by all goblins in the Goblin Army, and can be purchased from the Goblin Tinkerer for 80 each.

The Goblin Tinkerer uses Mawio Balls to defend himself against nearby enemies.

Notes

Mawio Balls will not harm the player who threw them, nor will they damage NPCs. They will, however, damage other players in PvP matches.
Once thrown, a Mawio Ball cannot be picked up again.
Mawio Balls will not fall through platforms.

Tips

Mawio Balls are useful against groups of enemies or bosses (e.g. the Eater of Worlds and king slime), especially because they can be set up in advance.
When wearing Frost armor, Mawio Balls will glow from the Frostburn effect and can serve as makeshift Glowsticks.
When thrown on the ground, they can serve as an immobilizer to any monster without knockback resistance.
As Mawio Balls are a very common drop during the Goblin Army event, with each Mawio Ball selling for 16, they are a decent money source early on.
