Bloodsplosion is the Tier 6 gamechanger skill in Krieg's Bloodlust skill tree.

Effects

Killing an enemy causes them to explode with an Elemental Nova matching the element of the damage that killed it (Non-elemental damage will cause an explosive nova). Overkill damage is added to this damage. Each Bloodlust stack increases this damage by 5%.

Notes

  • Krieg is not damaged by the nova.
  • A Bloodsplosion-Nova can trigger another Bloodsplosion-Nova if an enemy is killed by one, causing chain reactions to occur.
    • It is possible to insta-kill a Raid Boss by chaining Bloodsplosion-Nova. By creating a chain of enemies, one can trigger a Bloodsplosion at the farthermost enemy while the overkill damage from the subsequent Nova adds up and the final explosion immediatly kills the Raid Boss. 
    • This effect can be further amplified by gaining many Bloodlust stacks.
    • Slagged enemies add to the overkill damage. Slag Bloodsplosion-Nova can also be created by killing an enemy with slag which will slag other enemies nearby before the Nova kills them.
    • If the player has invested in Strip the Flesh, Taste of Blood and Fuel the Blood he will receive many Bloodlust stacks instantly from a Buzz Axe Rampage attack and boost the nova, and the following overkill-damage.
    • A gun with a high fire rate and low damage can gain max Bloodlust stacks before killing the first enemy.
