Alien's Rock

Alien's Rock is a relic that grants targeting attacks the ability to also strike enemies adjacent to the targeted enemy. It appears as a passive effect that modifies any orb or attack which explicitly targets a single enemy, turning those targeted attacks into mini-splash attacks that also hit nearby foes. The relic functions with common targeting orbs such as Concentrication and Jack-Orb-Lantern and synergizes with builds that stack high single-target damage to convert that power into multi-enemy clears.

Use Alien's Rock by focusing on high-damage, single-target orbs and aiming them at clustered groups of enemies so the secondary hits can finish or soften nearby foes. Because the relic applies to the attack that is designated as the target, effects that already deal area or splash damage do not gain additional benefit; notably, Ballanx’s innate splash behavior is unaffected by Alien's Rock. The relic also had a bug that prevented it from damaging Super Sapper in earlier builds; this was fixed in v0.9.25.

Practical notes:

• Pair with targeting orbs (Concentrication, Jack-Orb-Lantern) or any orb that locks onto a single enemy to spread their damage.
• Build raw damage on the targeted orb to maximize the value of the secondary hits.
• Do not expect extra effect on orbs that already hit multiple targets by default; Alien's Rock only augments attacks that are explicitly targetable.
• The relic’s name references the YouTuber Aliensrock, who frequently plays Peglin.
