Capital Punishment Inscription

If the target is not dead, does not belong to the player's faction, has current HP divided by max HP at or below 20 percent, and does not carry the boss tag, the Execution effect is applied to it for 1 second.

Where it lands: The inscription deals no lethal damage of its own. It applies a status, and that status does the killing.

When it runs: After the hit has landed and its damage is known.

What it applies to: Any hit the wearer lands on a target that is not already dead and does not belong to the player's faction.

Worked numbers

The HP at or below which the enemy is executed.

Rule of thumb: Read the threshold straight off the enemy's max HP: a fifth of it is the execute line.

Things the tooltip does not tell you

• The pool read is the combined head and body health, not one of the two.
• The exclusions are the boss tag and the player's faction. Elite monsters are executable, which the tooltip does not say.
• Only the Player faction is checked. The Ally and Neutral factions are not excluded by this check.
• Before build 25846389 the faction was not checked, so a player unit hit by the wearer could be executed.

How it interacts with other effects

• Anything that pushes a target under a fifth of its health, including Sinking's own missing-HP burst, sets this up.
