Skill Functions and Interactions[ | ]

Unlike regular Flameblast, this skill does not need to be channeled by the caster. It will automatically charge to full stacks while exploding every 3 stages.

The base radius of Vaal Flameblast is 35. This would make the first blast have a base radius of 32, the second of 29, the third of 26, the fourth of 23, and the final of 20.
