Path of Exile 2 Detonate Dead Mechanic FAQs

1. Does Detonate Dead scale with enemy corpse rarity or size?

Yes. The Physical damage component scales with the maximum Life of the corpse, so rare or unique corpses yield significantly higher damage.

Absolutely. These skills generate or consume corpses, enabling corpse loops that synergize with Detonate Dead for sustained AoE damage.

3. Does Detonate Dead benefit from Fire or Physical penetration?

Yes. Both damage types apply independently, so penetration effects for either Fire or Physical will increase overall damage output.

4. Can Detonate Dead be triggered automatically?

Yes. It works with trigger setups like Cast While Channeling, Spell Totem, and Trap/Mine supports, allowing automated corpse detonation.

5. Does Detonate Dead require line of sight to the corpse?
