I was thinking about Rabooka and his rumoured niche purpose as a suicide bunny. According to leaks which are not confirmed yet, he kills an enemy 100% but in so doing kills himself (I always suggested Rabies should have had this kind of move).

Rabooka would bring back into the metagame the benefits of 'Immune to Instant Death' (like Demise), but are Artefacts immune to instant death, as this is not really control or DoT? @Carlos

@Clackers it's still a negative effect, because you can remove it with skills that remove negative effects. So they should be immune to it.

Instant death is a status effect sooo....

Instant Death like Global Stomp (% chance of taking damage equal to max life) is not a status effect. Reaper Countdown is of course a status effect and does not affect Artifacts.

@C0ntr1v3d said in Are Artefacts immune to instant death?:

This

@C0ntr1v3d So Rabooka is effectively an Artefact killer?

Seeing as he will be 'free' to get (if the event is similar to Yamada) this is quite something.

@Clackers
For wars it is not optimal for attack as you will lose a coin
maybe for def if he can get a turn , same as noctum special -- can take whole team -and darmith pet special - can take one -

For pvp . maybe it work if you can make him very fast to take enemy denier for example

You're all treating him like the instakill is a normal skill, but from how I interpreted it, it is his ability.
