Last hitting a Trooper with a melee attack will prevent its[[Souls | Soul]] Orb from appearing and give player the full amount of Souls they would have gotten if they shot the Trooper and its orb.

Last hitting a Trooper with a melee attack will prevent the floating [[Soul Orb]] from appearing and give player the {{#expr:{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_trooper_instant_gold_ratio_postlaning}}*100}}% Souls they would have gotten if they had confirmed the orb. [[Abilities]] that deal melee damage also have the same effect on last hit.
