Corpse Explosion

How it works

Corpse Explosion is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Corpse Explosion is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it kills the target outright.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
