Upon gaining 100 energy the Colossus overheats and explodes, inflicting 120 Shadowflame damage to all players and an additional 15 Shadowflame damage every 1 sec for 20 sec.
How it works
Each cast of Exploding Core costs 100 Energy.
Exploding Core is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 120. It applies the infected mechanic. Its area radius is 300 yards.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 15 per tick. It applies the infected mechanic. Its area radius is 300 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 20 times over the full 20 sec (300 base in total).
- Effect 3 is Instakill (effect type 1).
What it does
Exploding Core is a Fire and Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it deals Fire and Shadow damage (base value 120) with the infected mechanic in a 300 yard radius, applies an aura with the infected mechanic in a 300 yard radius every 1 sec and kills the target outright.
