Molten Shell

Summons fiery elemental shields providing additional armour for a short duration. If cumulative damage prevented by your blocking or armour reaches a threshold, the shields explode outwards, dealing fire damage to surrounding enemies.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Absorbed Damage: Once cast, any damage that is negated by armor (including armor gained via Granite Flask), blocking, or by the skill Immortal Call will count towards triggering explosions. The only damage mitigation provided by the skill is the bonus to armour while the buff is active. The Damage Absorption stat only indicates the threshold at which the buff will end and an explosion will take place.

Duration: Skill duration and buff/debuff duration will both increase the duration of Molten Shell. When the duration of Molten Shell expires, the buff and any accumulated damage toward an explosion is lost. An explosion will not occur if Molten Shell's buff timer times out.
