Spirit Burn

spirit · Tier 4 · 6,400 souls passive Verified

What it does

A big hit of spirit damage detonates into an explosion and a long burn that applies extremely heavy healing reduction — the most severe anti-heal in the game.

Numbers: Triggers above a 500 damage threshold: 50 explosion damage, 24 (+0.06 scaling) burn damage/s for 8s, -70% Healing Reduction; 20s immunity per target; +6% Ability Range

Buy it when

Buy on a heavy burst caster against an enemy whose lifesteal or healing is the win condition.

Skip it when

Needs a single 500+ damage spirit hit to trigger, so low-damage kits cannot use it.

Gotchas

The mechanics people most often get wrong about this item.

20s immunity per target means you cannot reapply it repeatedly to the same enemy

Problems it answers

Healing and lifesteal — “They keep healing back everything I do to them.”
Unkillable frontline — “I cannot kill their tank.”
