BALL x PIT Ethereal Cloak Guide
You may have spotted a mysterious gap in their Encyclopedia between the Emerald Hilted Dagger and the Everflowing Goblet. That slot belongs to the Ethereal Cloak, a hidden passive that’s easy to miss unless you know which character to use.
What Is the Ethereal Cloak
Ethereal Cloak is a hidden passive item that gives all your balls piercing power. When active, your balls pass straight through enemies and deal 25 percent bonus damage until they hit the back wall. It’s a huge upgrade for clearing dense waves and farming XP faster.
Unlike standard passives, this one doesn’t always appear in your options. It only shows up under specific character conditions.
How to Unlock the Ethereal Cloak
You can only find the Ethereal Cloak while playing as The Warrior or The Itchy Finger. The passive never appears for The Repentant, even if the rest of your setup matches.
It drops randomly like other passives, but using those two characters increases your odds significantly. Keep an eye on your passive selection screen after unlocking the Emerald Hilted Dagger, since that’s where the Cloak fills the missing slot.
How to Use It Wisely
Piercing projectiles completely change how your run plays out. Instead of bouncing off every enemy, your shots push through entire lines before returning. The bonus damage stacks well with Burn, Wind, and Ghost builds that already rely on long bounce chains.
Just be aware that it can trap some of your damage behind enemy lines if you have too many piercing effects at once. Pair it with one or two non-piercing fusions like Bomb or Sun to clean up the front.
Final Blurb
The Ethereal Cloak turns your build into a straight-line killing machine. It’s one of the strongest hidden passives in BALL x PIT and a major power spike once unlocked.
Run The Warrior or The Itchy Finger until it appears, and you’ll never go back to basic bounce builds again.
