Hexblast is a spell that deals chaos damage to a single enemy. If the target has a hexcurse on it, it deals area of effect damage around the target. On hit, the spell removes the hex curse with the shortest remaining duration from each target hit. Hexblast removes the hex after dealing damage, and thus benefits from the effects of the removed curse.
Area component: By default, Hexblast only deals a vertical laser-like beam to a single target. This damage is not area damage. However, if the targeted enemy has a hex on them (even if they are unaffected), the hit will also deal damage in an area doing area damage around the target. The targeted enemy cannot be hit by the area damage as they are already hit bit the single-target hit.

Hexblast cannot be cast or triggered without a target. This prevents accidentally casting the skill during immunity phases or before a boss spawns.
Hexblast has forgiving targeting, and will attempt to prioritize targets with a hex over uncursed targets. Clicking the ground near a target will cause the single-target beam to lock onto the enemy.
Hex interactions: Hexblast deals more damage with hits and ailments against hexed enemies. The method in which the target is cursed does not matter. For example, they can be applied by curse on hit modifiers, Blasphemy SupportBlasphemy SupportSupport, Hex, Aura Icon: A Level: (1-20) Reservation: 35% Mana Cooldown Time: 1.20 sec Can Store 1 Use(s)Requires Level 31Supports hex curse skills, turning them into auras that will apply their effect to all enemies in an area around you.Supported Curse Skills apply their Curses as Auras Supported Curse Skills also count as Aura Skills Using Supported Skills is Instant 25% less Effect of Supported Curses (0-76)% increased Area of Effect of Supported Curse Skills

They merely serve one who does.) can be removed; they will reapply after the aura updates targets every 250ms, causing a slight delay.[3][4][5]
Because of this delay, it is best to have a source of curse on hit, such as from glove corruption implicits, rings with influence or delve modifiers, or other sources of curse on hit modifiers like Asenath's Gentle TouchAsenath's Gentle Touch Silk GlovesEnergy Shield: (18-23)Requires Level 25, 39 Int+(20-30) to Intelligence +(60-80) to maximum Life +(60-80) to maximum Mana Curse Enemies with Temporal Chains on Hit Non-Aura Curses you inflict are not removed from Dying Enemies Enemies near corpses affected by your Curses are Blinded Enemies Killed near corpses affected by your Curses explode, dealing 3% of their Life as Physical DamageCool the head and cool the blade. or Mark of SubmissionMark of Submission Unset RingRequires Level 24Has 1 SocketCurse Enemies with Socketed Hex Curse Gem on HitSo great was the thaumaturgy of a bloodpriest's mark, that sacrifices soon welcomed their death..
Hexes are removed immediately after hitting the enemy, but before a new hex can be applied by curse on hit. This allows a curse like FlammabilityFlammabilitySpell, AoE, Duration, Fire, Curse, Hex Level: (1-20) Cost: (24-50) Mana Cast Time: 0.50 sec AoE Radius: 22Requires Level 24Curses all targets in an area, lowering their fire resistance and giving them a chance to be ignited when hit.Base duration is (8.00-11.80) seconds +(0-1) metre to radius Cursed enemies have -(17-36)% to Fire Resistance Hits against Cursed Enemies have +25% chance to Ignite
Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality: Ignite on Cursed enemies has (1-20)% increased DurationPlace into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket. to contribute to DPS for hits; this has no effect on damage over time.
While hit-based Hexblast only requires the enemy to be hexed before hitting the target for optimal DPS, Ignite/Poison Hexblast requires the player to apply/reapply hexes both before using the skill (to apply the 40% multiplier and AOE) and after (to reduce resistances for the persisting damage over time).
Hexblast does not interact with or remove marks. A target with a mark but no hexes will not cause the AOE.
Chaos Damage with Hits is Resisted by lowest Resistance instead: Chaos damage dealt by this skill is resisted by the lowest resistance on an enemy, including chaos resistance. This means that if the enemy's fire resistance is lower than cold, lightning, or chaos, it will be resisted by fire resistance instead of chaos resistance. Note that if chaos resistance is lowest, it will be resisted by chaos resistance as normal.
Lowest resistance is factored in after all enemy debuffs; this includes exposure and curses like Elemental WeaknessElemental WeaknessSpell, AoE, Duration, Curse, Hex Level: (1-20) Cost: (16-33) Mana Cast Time: 0.50 sec AoE Radius: 22Requires Level 24Curses all targets in an area, lowering their elemental resistances.Base duration is (8.00-11.80) seconds +(0-1) metre to radius Cursed enemies have -(15-30)% to Elemental Resistances

Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality: Ignite on Cursed enemies has (1-20)% increased DurationPlace into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket..
Penetration is also applied in this calculation only to the lowest resistance; for example, if fire resistance is lowest, fire resistance penetration will further increase Hexblast's damage. Note that penetration will not change which resistance is considered the lowest; even if Hexblast could have infinite cold penetration, if fire resistance was the lowest, the cold penetration has no effect.
Being resisted by fire resistance does not mean that Hexblast deals fire damage, can be mitigated by modifiers to fire damage taken, or considered taken as fire.
This mod only applies to hits; damaging ailments (Ignite and Poison) are still resisted by fire resistance and chaos resistance respectively, unless the player equips a BlackflameBlackflame Amethyst RingRequires Level 49+(17-23)% to Chaos Resistance+(8-12)% to Fire Damage over Time Multiplier 50% reduced Ignite Duration on Enemies (10-15)% chance to Ignite Enemies Ignited by you take Chaos Damage instead of Fire Damage from Ignite Withered does not expire on Enemies Ignited by you +(20-25)% to Fire and Chaos ResistancesBeyond the veil of death, there burns a fire by whose light night is borne..
Hits have 25% chance to treat Enemy Monster Elemental Resistance values as inverted from Elemental Mastery does not affect the monster's actual resistance and will therefore not affect which resistance is lowest.
"Ignore resistances" such as Inquisitor's Inevitable Judgement will remove resistances from being calculated in the damage formula, but does not affect which resistance is lowest.[6][7]
All Damage can Ignite, Freeze, and Shock: this modifier allows all damage types dealt by Hexblast (not necessarily just chaos) to be able to contribute to Ignite, Freeze, and Shock. This does not affect other ailments like Chill, and does not grant any #% chance to actually inflict the ailment. Chance to inflict ailments must be obtained elsewhere, or applied via a critical strike.
This Spell's Cast Time is added to its Cooldown if Triggered: The spell's tooltip cast time is added to cooldowns if triggered; this cooldown can be reduced through both cooldown recovery rate and increased/more cast speed.
Critical strike chance: Hexblast has one of lowest chances to crit among all spells at 4% base critical strike chance.

Mines are preferable to traps as traps trigger simultaneously and curse on hit is removed when traps expire, preventing Hexblast from gaining its AOE component and damage reliably.[8]
Because of the inability for Hexblast to cast without a valid target, this greatly improves the ability to set up damage on bosses by pre-stacking mines without accidentally triggering them.
The combination of mines auto-targeting enemies and Hexblast having a smart targeting system reduces the need to aim precisely and ensures no uses of the skill are wasted.
