Infernal Cry is a warcry skill gem that taunts nearby enemies, debuffs enemies to explode on death, buffs the user and allies to gain extra fire damage based on their physical damage, and exerts a number of subsequent attacks, causing those attacks to trigger the Combust attack.

Skill functions and interactions

Note: Due to technical limitations, this page's infobox displays gem stats belonging to both Infernal Cry and Combust. These are distinct skills and do not share all their stats. Infernal Cry's Damage cannot be Reflected only applies to its debuff's explosion, not hits by Combust. Similarly, Combust's 60% of Physical Damage Converted to Fire Damage will not affect physical damage added to Infernal Cry's debuff explosion.

Both the explosion and Combust can be affected by support gems linked to Infernal Cry.

Debuff

The on-death explosion caused by the debuff deals secondary damage, not attack damage. It is affected by relevant stats from both support gems and the player's global modifiers, such as increased fire or area damage.

• The explosion's base critical strike is 0%, as it is not a hit with the player's weapon, and the skill gem provides no base critical strike chance, unlike explosions from spell skills.
• The enemy does not need to be killed by the player to explode; enemies can also be killed by minions, allies, and Dynamite.
• The explosion prevents corpses, suppressing some on-death effects.
• Unlike other explosions, this explosion may be prevented by other effects that destroy enemies, possibly due to its implementation as a debuff.

Exerting

Attacks exerted by Infernal Cry trigger the Combust skill, a melee attack that deals damage in an area.

• Its damage can be reflected.
• Pulverize increases the area of Combust without incurring any penalties due to not requiring attack speed.
• Combust cannot be supported by Fortify SupportFortify SupportAttack, Support, Melee

Version history

Before version 3.11.0, the skill gem is known as Abyssal Cry. Here is the old gem text: Performs a warcry, Hindering nearby enemies and causing them to explode when killed. The Hinder effect is proportional to the number of surrounding enemies. Taunts all nearby enemies to attack the user. Shares a cooldown with other Warcry skills.

old gem icon, which no longer shown in-game, even for existing pre-ver.3.11 items in permanent leagues

Version	Changes
3.25.0	No longer covers enemies in ash, causing them to move slower and take increased fire damage. The user and nearby allies now gain a buff that grants a portion of their physical damage as extra fire damage. The Buff grants 5% of Physical Damage as Extra Fire Damage per 5 Power, and can count a maximum of 25 power. Now has a Mana cost of 7 at gem level 1 (previously 15), scaling up to 10 at gem level 20 (previously 19). It has a base duration of 2.5 seconds at gem level 1 (previously 5), scaling up to 3.4 seconds at gem level 20 (previously 5.9). Combust now has 136% Effectiveness of Base and Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 100%), scaling up to 234% at gem level 20 (previously 158%).
3.23.0	Alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments and unique threshold jewels are all systems that were trying to subtly modify the behaviour of skills. With this expansion these have been combined into a new system called Transfigured Gems that allows us to fully achieve the goal of these three systems, and then some. Quality now provides 0-40% increased Cooldown Recovery Rate, instead of 0-20% increased Area of Effect. Anomalous, Divergent and Phantasmal Quality Gems have been removed from the game. Existing alternate Quality Gems now have the base Quality effect found on the respective Gem.
3.13.0	Now causes your next 6 attacks to be Exerted (from 4).

3.11.0	The visual effects have been improved. Reworked from Abyssal Cry. Is now named Infernal Cry. Now taunts all nearby enemies to attack the user, and exerts the next 4 melee attacks. It also covers enemies in ash, slowing them and making them more vulnerable to fire damage. Causes enemies to explode when they die, dealing fire damage in an area. Exerted attacks trigger Combust, which converts 60% of Physical Damage to Fire Damage, and deals 100% Attack Damage in an area at gem level 1, up to 158% at gem level 20. Now has a base duration of 5 seconds at gem level 1, up to 5.9 seconds at gem level 20. Explosions from slain enemies deal Fire Damage equal to 8% of the monster's maximum life. Enemies covered in ash take 3% increased Fire Damage per 5 Power, up to 20%. Now gains 1% increased Area of Effect for Infernal Cry (not Combust) per 1% gem quality. Now has a new gem icon.
