Notes[edit]

  • The skill fires five mines in a spread pattern, making it most effective in short range, where all mines are likely to hit the target.
This skill cannot damage underwater wurm creatures such as Undersea Ice Wurm. Homing Torpedo suffered from the same problem until it was fixed by the October 15, 2013 game update. Unfortunately, Scatter Mines was not fixed.
