Elemental Hit


Elemental Hit is an attack skill that randomly deals fire, cold, or lightning damage in an area of effect around the target with each use. That use of Elemental Hit will only deal damage of the chosen element, and has more area of effect against enemies affected by the elemental ailments of that element. The skill deals more damage for each elemental ailment present on enemies.

Elemental Hit can be used with any weapon, or while unarmed.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Prismatic: Elemental Hit will never pick the same element twice in a row.

  • Random damage type: Elemental Hit chooses a random elements each time it is used. That use can deal only damage of the chosen element (meaning it can never deal physical or chaos damage). The unique threshold jewels Combat Focus can be used to exclude elements from being chosen.

  • 80% more Area Radius against Enemies affected by an Ailment of the chosen Element The relevant elemental ailments are ignite, scorch (Fire), chill, freeze, brittle (Cold), shock, and sap (Lightning).

  • Sequential Projectiles and Repeat: When linked to Barrage Support Elemental hit will pick one element per projectile shot; Multistrike Support will pick a new element for each repeat.

  • Damage conversion: Elemental Hit has added damage of each element present on the gem. This flat damage may be converted normally. The selection of an element happens afterwards and does not retroactively change the results of conversion.

    • Example: If the player allocates the keystone Avatar of Fire, 50% of all lightning damage and 50% of all cold damage are converted to fire. This includes the flat damage inherently present on the gem. When Elemental Hit chooses fire, it will then deal significantly more damage than if the player did not have Avatar of Fire.
  • Dual Wielding: Elemental Hit will alternate weapons while dual wielding.

  • Fixed a bug where the Elemental Hit could visually fire the same element in a row when using Predictive Networking Mode.
  • 3.15.0
  • Received Prismatic gem tag.
  • 3.11.0
  • Fixed a bug which caused Elemental Hit to not increase its area of effect when hitting enemies afflicted by Scorch, Brittle or Sap (despite them being valid ailments).
  • Fixed a bug where melee Elemental Hit attacks that would apply a relevant ailment to Elemental Hit's bonus would increase the area of effect for that hit, despite the ailment not yet being applied.
  • 3.10.0
  • Modifiers to Melee Weapon and Unarmed Attack Range are now described as "+X to Melee Strike Range". The functionality hasn't changed. Weapons that describe their range still refer to "Weapon Range".
