Afflicted Soul Explosion

Effect
When Afflicted creature dies, all nearby foes are struck for 20...170 cold damage.

Description
The damage caused by the Explosion is proportional to the monster's level. A low level Afflicted will explode for 40+ damage, while a level 24 Afflicted will explode for over 140 damage. This is especially painful with Afflicted bosses because they deal double damage as bosses and high damage because of their level.

Strategy
If you find yourself near an Afflicted about to die, move away quickly if you are on low health. Since warriors usually have high health they usually don't need to move.

If you are on low health and are near an Afflicted with full health, you should be fine (ignoring the damage you're already receiving if the Afflicted is targeting you). However, if you have a spiker or nuker on the team, make sure you have time to escape before they unload the damage.

Extra Notes
Afflicted Bulls, Moas, Bears etc. are added to the mix of afflicted in Shing Jea Island, though do not have an arsenal of skills like the "human" afflicted (those originally human), as they usually only have Frenzy, have no elite skills, "boss versions" or have higher leveled versions of themselves in Kaineng. Afflicted Bulls still however release an Afflicted Soul Explosion. The Moas and Bears aren't known to release an explosion as "human" afflicted and Bulls do.

Afflicted can even be found in Echovald Forest and the Jade Sea
