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.
  • Can be used in left mouse button slot to cast and move, but you won't be able to move without a target (whether enemy or corpse).

Item acquisition

Bodyswap can drop anywhere. Drop level: 10.
