Overview
While moving, dirt fish orbit you. At full capacity, firing launches a rolling dirt ball.
Research note
The scent of the soil reminds me of the seabed... These little ones are quite good at huddling for warmth.
Mechanics
While moving, about every 0.33 seconds a dirt fish is called from about 16 to 25 tiles away to follow you. Follow cap is 5 plus domain layers, with additional domain bonuses. When followers reach 5 plus domain layers and you fire, all dirt fish merge above you into a dirt ball rolled along your shot direction.
The ball bounces up to 5 times, then rolls along the ground dealing continuous contact damage and Confused for about 170% of that shot's damage plus 45% per domain layer. Only one dirt ball can exist at a time; no new merge while one is active.
Tips
Move until you have enough followers, then fire to launch the ball. Good for pushing lanes and blocking paths, not burst damage.
