Path of Exile 2 Skeletal Sniper Mechanics FAQs
Do Skeletal Snipers revive automatically after death?
Yes. Once summoned, they return to life after a short delay unless the skill is deactivated.
Can the gas cloud be manually detonated?
Yes. The cloud detonates if hit by Detonator-tagged skills or if an Ignited enemy enters the radius.
Does the explosion scale with Fire Damage modifiers?
Yes. The explosion converts 100% of Physical Damage to Fire, making Fire Damage and AoE modifiers highly effective.
Is the poison cloud affected by Chaos Damage scaling?
No. The cloud itself does not deal Chaos Damage—only the explosion converts to Fire. Chaos tags reflect the minion's hybrid nature, not the cloud's damage.
Can multiple clouds overlap or stack?
No. Only one Skeletal Sniper can be active at a time. Additional clouds require re-summoning or timed command use.
