The latest in a long line of cinder abuse is to use Relent Gale/Astral Belt to proc the cinders without splitting the damage, leading to a one-turn kill possibility when combined with CM Sear. I won't go into WHY cinder and frostbite has been constantly nerfed not to do this, everyone already knows.
Basically, if you use either of them ON THEIR OWN, they split the cinder damage properly. But if you use Astral Belt to pull them into the auto knockback of Relent Gale, then they will take double damage from each tile as if they walked over them twice at the same time. Consistent even if they are not knocked down at the same time.
Gale or Belt on its own:
64 per tile traveled
Walking:
194 per tile traveled
Point blank belt into gale knockback
388 per tile traveled.
Extremely consistent across all testing.
Is it obscure? Yes. Is it being abused? Yes. Is it broken? Yes.
Just for fun showing it being done consistently back to back rounds.
