Notes[edit]

  • Despite the tooltip suggesting the skill scales with power, it appears to deal a consistent ~750 damage against a heavy armor target at level 80.
  • The damage from this skill originates from the Gyro itself and does not scale with power.
  • Damage from this skill does not appear in the combat log.
Compared to other gyro self-destruct skills, this skill deals around 900 less damage. [verification requested]
The tooltip for PvE/WvW states a damage coefficient of 7.112, while other self-destruct skills state a coefficient of 0.6. The skills API lists a coefficient of 0.6 as well. However, this skill does not scale with the player's power.
