Ruin is the final skill in Maya's Cataclysm skill tree. It has no upgrades.
Effects
When you phaselock an enemy, the enemy within will first be slagged, then electrocuted, then corroded. The effect is similar to the detonation of 3 different elemental grenades about one second apart of each other (not simultaneously). The radius of this effect is about twice the size of the phaselock orb. If phaselock is terminated (by killing the enemy inside) before the 3 effects took place, the elemental bursts still happen in the same position of the orb, therefore it is guaranteed to damage all nearby enemies with all 3 elements (supposed they stay within the burst radius) when you use your action skill.
Notes
Ruin will detonate its effects in sequence even when targeted on enemies that cannot be Phaselocked.
Tactics
The only element missing is fire, which can be added if you choose Helios skill in the cataclysm tree. If possible, combine this with Converge skill to guarantee maximum damage to all nearby targets.
