Path of Exile 2 Herald of Ash Mechanic FAQs

What qualifies as Overkill for Herald of Ash?

Overkill occurs when your non-Herald attack deals more damage than the target's remaining Life. If the excess damage is at least 20% of their max Life, the explosion triggers.

Can Herald of Ash explosions chain or overlap?

No. Each explosion is a single AoE event. However, multiple enemies can trigger separate explosions, creating overlapping Ignites in dense packs.

Does the explosion scale with Fire or DoT modifiers?

Yes. The Ignite from the explosion scales with Fire Damage, Burning Damage, Damage over Time, and Ignite-specific modifiers.

Can Herald of Ash be triggered by Herald skills or spells?

No. Only non-Herald attacks can trigger the Overkill explosion. Spells and Herald-based damage do not qualify.

Does the explosion benefit from area or ignite duration modifiers?

Yes. Area of Effect modifiers increase the explosion radius, and Ignite Duration modifiers extend the burn time, increasing total damage.
