* Spirit Snare can be detonated by a {{AbilityIcon|Charged Shot}} immediately after it's thrown, including while midair before it deploys its AoE visuals.
* The hitbox to manually detonate a deployed snare is indicated by the smoke emitted from its center.
| tips        =
* At angles where the center of a deployed snare is less visible, aim {{AbilityIcon|Charged Shot}}s slightly away from the surface the snare landed on.
* When aiming to detonate a midair snare, aim slightly below to account for its arc.
* Placing a trap in narrow hallways where enemies are likely to ambush you from (or escape to) can force them to either be cursed, slowed, and slightly damaged, or take a less ideal path.
* Manual detonations can be used to quickly [[interrupt]] and weaken an enemy, and bypass the snare's {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Spirit Snare|ArmTime}}s Arm Time.
