Path of Exile 2 Detonating Arrow [Lvl 21 Sockets 5]

Detonating Arrow is a staged channelling bow skill in Path of Exile 2 that builds power over time before releasing a fiery projectile that detonates on impact. It excels in Fire-based projectile builds that scale with stages and area damage.

"Channel to build up power before firing off a burning arrow. At maximum charge, the arrow will detonate at the end of its flight, causing an explosion in an area around it."

Path of Exile 2 Detonating Arrow Mechanic FAQs

1. Does Detonating Arrow benefit from projectile modifiers like Pierce or Chain?

No. The arrow detonates on impact and does not interact with projectile chaining or piercing mechanics.

2. Can Detonating Arrow be supported by Mirage Archer or Totems?

Yes. Mirage Archer can channel stages over time, but Totems cannot channel, making them incompatible with this skill.

3. Does increased Attack Speed improve damage output?

Not directly. It reduces channel time per stage but increases mana cost. Optimal builds balance speed and sustain.

4. Can Detonating Arrow ignite enemies?

Yes. It deals Fire damage and can ignite if supported by Ignite or critical strike modifiers.

5. Does the explosion scale with projectile damage or stage count only?

Explosion damage scales with stage count and Fire damage modifiers, not projectile-specific bonuses.
