Minion Instability is a Keystone that causes minions to explode when reduced to low life, dealing 33% of their maximum life as fire damage to nearby enemies.

The base explosion radius is 22 units.^[1]

Modifiers

Passives that increase your minion's damage and/or health can increase the damage of the explosion. ^[2]

The following support gems can increase the damage of the explosion:
