Metadata
Item class: Support Gem

Minion Instability is a support gem.

Skill functions and interactions

The explosion is an area hit from the minion, dealing secondary damage.

Minions summoned from the Supported Skill must be reduced to Low Life to explode. Anything that causes a minion to die without ever having low life (e.g. dying in 1 hit, replacement, expiring duration) will not cause an explosion. Minions summoned from supported skills that are set to low life when spawned will explode instantly.

Modifiers

Minions do not have the player's global stats; player stats have to be specific for minions or allies to directly affect the explosion. Stats from Auras, Scepters, and Presence modifiers will continue to apply to nearby minions as they explode.

Because support gems affect all minions summoned from that minion skill, this support can be modified by other support gems despite itself not being a skill. The additional support gems need to be compatible with the supported minion skill, and said support gem's stats need to be compatible with the explosion's damage.

Note:Lightning Infusion and Cold Infusion will reduce the fire damage of the explosion and Brutality will cause it to deal no fire damage entirely.

Lowering Minion Life

It's possible to make minions reach low life in the following ways:

  • letting them lose enough health during normal gameplay to get to under 35% life
  • adding Infernal Legion alongside this support gem to the desired minion skill.

Item acquisition

Minion Instability has restrictions on where or how it can drop.

It can be obtained by engraving an Uncut Support Gem.
