Keyword

This article is a stub. Please help improve the article by expanding it.

Keywords are words or phrases that signify the presence of specific Path of Exile game mechanics. When appearing in modifier text, they are always capitalized. For words with everyday meanings, like "double", "triple", and "recently", capitalized instances are keywords and follow strict in-game definitions, while uncapitalized instances refer to the everyday definition.

Double damage and triple damage

Main page: Double damage

Main page: Triple damage

Double damage and triple damage are keywords, following strict in-game definitions instead of their everyday meanings.

• Chance to deal double/triple damage is additive.
• Additional % chance exceeding 100% has no effect.
• The damage increases are applied after all other modifiers.
• Double damage is hit-only and does not apply to Ailment damage or Damage over time.
• Triple damage overrides double damage; a hit that does triple damage will never also do double damage.

Keystones

Main page: Keystone

The names of all keystone passive skills on the passive skill tree are keywords and their respective modifiers function identically to their passive tree counterparts. For example, Grelwood ShankGrelwood Shank
