Notes

• The blast finisher occurs after the full animation of the minion's death. This will cause a delay between the explosion and the finisher itself.
• Critical-hit chance based on bone minion critical-hit chance (which is estimated to be 4%).

Anomaly:

Additionally creates a short invisible poison combo field when used underwater.
