Bodyswap skill screenshot

Bodyswap is a spell skill. The skill can target an enemy or a corpse, exploding your body and teleporting you to the target. The skill creates an area of effect explosion that deals fire damage, which scales with your maximum life. When targeting a corpse, it deals more damage and the corpse also explodes to deal damage relative to the corpse's maximum life.

Skill functions and interactions[ | ]

  • Body swap is a movement skill with no cooldown and will not affect the cooldown of blink skills.
  • The explosion of the corpse is not affected by modifiers to spell damage and cannot be reflected. This spell cannot be repeated with things like Spell Echo Support inventory iconSpell Echo SupportSpell Echo SupportSpell, Support
