If this kills an enemy, gain .
A 30-damage hit, 38 upgraded. If the target dies from it you gain 5 Stars at once. The code checks the damage result rather than the Fatal keyword, so a minion kill pays out too. The Stars arrive as a gain, which triggers Black Hole and counts for Radiate that turn.
When to take Knockout Blow
A finisher for group fights in Act 2, where a kill refunds Stars for Comet or Seven Stars. Three Energy is heavy, so skip it without Star sinks, and upgrade it for reliable kills.
