Herald

While active, enemies you sufficiently Overkill with non-Herald Attacks will cause an explosion that Ignites nearby enemies based on the Overkill damage dealt.

While active, Shattering an enemy with a non-Herald Attack Hit will cause an icy explosion that deals Attack damage to surrounding enemies.

While active, killing Shocked enemies with a non-Herald Attack Hit will cause subsequent Attack Hits to release lightning bolts which deals Attack damage to all surrounding enemies.

While active, killing a Poisoned enemy spreads its Poison to other nearby enemies, and has a chance to also Hinder them.

While active, killing an enemy with Blood Loss will cause a bloody explosion that deals Physical Attack damage to surrounding enemies. This damage is not based on your Weapon, but is partially based on their accumulated Blood Loss. The explosion destroys their Corpse if the enemy was Normal or Magic, and has a chance to Aggravate Bleeding.

Killing an enemy with Blood Loss will cause a bloody explosion that deals Physical Attack damage to surrounding enemies. This damage is not based on your Weapon Damage, but is based on their accumulated Blood Loss. The explosion destroys their Corpse if the enemy was Normal or Magic.

Supports Herald Skills, making their triggered effects deal more damage at the expense of higher Spirit cost.

A Persistent skill is toggled in the Skills Panel and remains active until disabled or until its reservation or other requirement can no longer be met. Persistent Buffs, Meta skills, and Reviving Minions often reserve Spirit.

A Buff is a beneficial effect applied to a player, Minion, monster, or other target for a duration or while a condition remains true. Buff Magnitude comes from the creator, while Buff Effect usually comes from the affected target.

Spirit is a reservable resource used to activate and maintain skills with permanent effects, including persistent buffs, permanent minions, and trigger Meta skills.

Reservation commits part of a resource to an active effect. Most persistent Skills reserve Spirit, but some effects reserve Life or Mana. The reserved amount remains part of the resource's maximum and cannot be spent, recovered, or used as defence while it is reserved.

An Attack is a skill with the Attack tag. It normally takes its base damage, attack speed, and base Critical Hit Chance from an equipped Martial Weapon, unless the skill states a different rule.

A Hit is an instantaneous damage event. Any damage that is not damage over time is Hit damage, whether it comes from an Attack, a Spell, Thorns, or another effect.

Overkill damage is the part of a killing Hit that exceeds the enemy's remaining Life. It is a measured amount used by effects such as Herald of Ash and Trampletoe, not an automatic bonus applied to every kill.

Shatter is the corpse-destruction result when a Frozen monster is killed. Shatter does not deal damage by itself, but Herald of Ice, Frozen Vortex, unique items, and other effects can change what qualifies or add a payoff when the event occurs.

Shock is a non-damaging Lightning Ailment that makes a target take 20% increased damage by default. Lightning Hits gain a chance to Shock based on post-mitigation damage relative to the target's Elemental Ailment Threshold.

Poison is a damaging Ailment that deals Chaos damage over time and bypasses Energy Shield. It lasts two seconds by default and requires an explicit chance or effect that can inflict Poison.

Bleeding is a damaging Ailment that deals Physical damage over time and bypasses Energy Shield. It lasts five seconds by default and requires an explicit chance or effect that can inflict Bleeding.

Corpses are remains left by slain enemies. Corpse skills need an eligible corpse on the ground, or a valid substitute supplied by Sacrifice, before they can target, consume, or destroy it.

Supports Herald Skills, making their triggered effects deal more damage at the expense of higher Spirit cost.
