Vaal Volcanic Fissure is a Vaal melee attack skill. Upon use, the user slams the ground, creating a fissure that deals damage while travelling, and erupts at its target, releasing a burst of molten projectiles. Afterwards, it will continue to travel towards other enemies and erupt several times.

Skill functions and interactions

• If no enemies are in range, the fissure will travel in a semi-random direction.
