If you’re looking for a spell setup in Noita that delivers massive damage, scales based on physics, and lets you melt bosses in mere moments, then this bouncing burst acceleration combo is one of the most powerful, flashy, and frankly hilarious builds you can go for. This guide is dedicated to showcasing the science—and the madness—behind building an insanely strong bouncing burst wand, using acceleration and modifiers to push its damage to absurd levels. You’ll learn the mechanics, see why it works, and get a feel for how to customize it into a near-perfect setup.

Understanding Bouncing Burst’s Hidden Mechanic

On its surface, Bouncing Burst seems like a modest spell. It deals just 3 damage on impact. But the trick lies in a hidden mechanic: the faster the projectile is moving when it hits something, the more damage it does. And that’s the core of this build. By controlling its velocity—starting slow and speeding up dramatically—you can scale its damage into the thousands.

This isn’t theoretical. It’s a proven method that’s been used successfully on high-health bosses like the 33 orb boss, the 34 orb boss, and even some ridiculously thick mid-20s orb guardians. Once you know how to accelerate a projectile while preserving its integrity, you’ll see results instantly—shots that go from hitting for 3 or 7 to 4,600, even up to 13,000 or more in a single blast.

Building the Wand Core

To begin, you’ll want a wand with enough mana regen and capacity to house the essential components:

• Bouncing Burst (the base projectile)
• Rotate Towards Enemy (to guide it)
• Acceleration (to pick up speed over time)
• Heavy Shot (slows it down initially for better scaling)
• Moo (or “M,” which re-applies all modifier effects to the projectile again)

This combination forms the core. The heavy shot slows down the burst dramatically—normally a problem—but for this build, it’s a gift. The acceleration effect takes hold, and because Moo stacks all those effects again, the damage scaling multiplies even further.

Seeing the Damage Scaling in Action

Let’s say your Bouncing Burst and Heavy Shot combo should do 47 damage. Instead, it does 228, then 295, then 4,600… and sometimes 8,000 or more. That’s not just a fluke—it’s the multiplicative nature of stacking velocity-enhancing modifiers with Moo applied. By the time it hits a target, it has been accelerated multiple times over, causing exponential growth in impact damage.

What happens when you shoot point blank? Tiny numbers—91, 181, maybe 240. But give the projectile room to build speed, and boom: 5,400, 13,000. You’ve just weaponized momentum.

Adding Triggers and Mana Management

Now, one issue you’ll quickly run into is mana cost. This combo eats through your mana bar, burning half a wand’s charge in one shot. The fix? Use an Add Trigger before the main spell. This lets you front-load all the modifiers before the projectile launches, and dramatically cuts the mana cost per shot.

With the trigger in place, your mana pool barely takes a hit. It’s nearly free to cast. That means you can keep up the onslaught without exhausting your wand’s resources, letting your acceleration-enhanced bouncing bursts fly continuously.

Want to push it even further? Add a Reduce Recharge Time modifier to speed up cast rate, or drop in piercing if you want to go full-on death cannon—but beware: piercing makes it possible to hit yourself. If you do that with this kind of damage, it’s game over unless you’re protected by something like Ambrosia.

Final Tweaks and Customization

This build is highly flexible once you understand the interaction between speed and damage. The Moo component is the real enabler—it re-applies Rotate, Acceleration, and Heavy Shot, doubling their effect on the same projectile. And if you stack multiple Moos? Even better.

Just make sure your wand has the stats to support it. You’ll want:

• High mana max and recharge
• A fast cast delay and recharge delay (helped by modifiers)
• Enough slots for all components including the Add Trigger

This isn’t just a fun build—it’s one of the strongest single-spell setups in the game when crafted carefully. Let it gather speed, let it ricochet, and let your enemies explode into particles as your humble Bouncing Burst becomes a wrecking ball.

Enjoy your newfound power—and don’t forget to shoot from a safe distance.
