Effects on monster death?

Hey guys,

A bit of a stupid question here but I haven't been able to figure this out. I see a lot of videos (build guides, etc.) where it looks like there are extra effects when a mob is killed (i.e https://youtu.be/wARPcb9bXnw?t=1).

Is this from an MTX or is it just from the spell/item combo?

Hey there!

Some skills and items do in fact have additional effects when enemies are killed.

In the video you link to, the person is using Herald of Ice, which can deal Cold Area of Effect damage around enemies you kill. Some other 'Herald' skills also have on-death effects: of Thunder triggers lightning strikes, of Ash sets enemies near one you've killed on fire, and of Purity summons minions when you kill enemies. There's also unique items which do this - for example, Inpulsa's Broken Heart can cause enemies you kill to explode. Often on-kill effects have requirements (e.g. that you've shocked the enemy) for them to occur.

Oh my god... I can't believe I couldn't figure it out.

It's a herald on death effect, with an MTX (Celestial Herald in this case)...

Thank you soooo much for pointing me in the right direction, mate. I literally looked for this for days. You're awesome
