Path of Exile 2 Skeletal Arsonist Mechanics FAQs
Can Skeletal Arsonists detonate any Minion?
No. They can only target allied Minions whose current Life is below a specific threshold. This ensures tactical timing and prevents accidental detonations.
Does the explosion scale with the detonated Minion's stats?
Yes. In addition to base Fire Damage, the explosion deals bonus Fire Damage equal to 12% of the target Minion's maximum Life. High-Life minions yield stronger detonations.
Can Skeletal Arsonists detonate themselves?
No. They cannot target themselves for detonation. They require other Minions to be present and weakened.
Does the explosion benefit from Fire Damage or Minion Damage modifiers?
Yes. The explosion scales with Fire Damage, Minion Damage, and Area Damage. Support gems like Fire Penetration and Elemental Armament are highly effective.
Can multiple Arsonists detonate simultaneously?
Yes. With proper cooldown management and positioning, multiple Arsonists can detonate different Minions in rapid succession, creating chain explosions.
