the basic idea: the cluster bomb effect the blast cube jellies have (i am aware of the idea of cluster bombs have been suggested)

jelly bomb: a basic 2 star bomb that deals normal or piercing damage
refined JB/super JB/ultra jelly bombs: upgraded JBs same idea as the jelly bomb only the initial blast radius is wider with each level (up to about a 4 star vaporizer bomb radius) and scatters the jelly cluster bombs that have small radius explosion (initial explosion causes piercing damage... the clusters deal normal)
frigid/fiery/toxic jelly bombs: the elemental variants that deal elemental and/or piecing damage on initial explosion and scatters clusters that detonate miniature vaporizers like fields of the respective element (only up to the 2* vaporizers radius at 5* upgrade)

naturally this needs work but i bored feel free to scrutinize

edit: instead of the vaporizer like fields make it chromalisk spit gel like field upon the cluster's detonation

This sounds like an

This sounds like an interesting idea!

At the moment it sounds a bit overpowering, but that entirely depends upon the chance that said gels can cause status effects and the damage of each explosions (mini explosions have 1/4 of power of main, perhaps?), as well as how large the explosion radius is, but it definitely could be expanded upon and I would like to see another type of bomb go into play.

God I love it.

Jellies have those spiky needles from ground - remember about them too!!
I love your idea. Also: you could use charged and uncharged versions (one jelly and many jellies).
Finally: some good sink for gel drops.

Make it look like a combination of a jam jar and a record player ("FRESH JAMS" LOLOL) and I'm all over this thing like a walrus on some fish.

i would think piercing

i would think piercing because jellies deal piercing but thats not for me to decide

ideas on the animation:

1. like the normal bomb animation, the bomb model would expand as the fuse winds down. As it does that the animation of the blast cubes destabilizing would happen to the model itself and explode dealing the initial damage following scattering the cluster parts

2. a normal bomb model expansion followed by an implosion jutting up underground spikes at random areas on the radius (the areas where the spike will appear would be visible to be fair). finally a harmless explosion/ release of cluster bomb

3. think like number 1 but only after the initial explosion something like mini jellies would appear and wonder away from the blast epicenter a short distance before explosioning/ releasing the elemental gel

im thinking 1. is the best it might need some refining though

I think it should be similar

I think it should be similar to Jelly King's spawning Royal Mini jellies attack... except without the Royal Minis, of course.

Another idea is to have it explode into smaller slimes that will then explode like the exploding lichens, dealing elemental damage.
