* Tankbuster is a [[Charge-Up]] item, thus not affected by [[Cooldown Reduction]].
* Tankbuster is a [[Charge-Up]] item, so it's not affected by [[Cooldown Reduction]].
* Tankbuster only goes on cooldown when it affects enemy heroes. It will not go on cooldown when you hit an [[NPC]].
* Tankbuster only goes on cooldown when it affects enemy heroes. It will not go on cooldown when you hit a [[Trooper]].
* While the tooltip only specifies "Abilities", only Spirit Damage will activate Tankbuster. Abilities dealing [[Weapon Damage|Weapon]], [[Melee Damage|Melee]] or [[Pure Damage]] will not activate Tankbuster (unless they have a Spirit component).
* Some forms of [[Spirit Amp]] applied by items count as separate damage instances and thus don't contribute to the single hit such as [[Escalating Exposure]].
* Tankbuster has inconsistent interactions with different sources of damage resist and amplification.
* When the target is hit with spirit damage, the damage value which is compared against the triggering threshold is the base damage value prior to any increases or decreases from damage amp, damage reduction, spirit resistance, and spirit resistance reduction.
** Spirit Resist Reduction on target helps trigger Tankbuster. For example, an ability that would otherwise deal 160 damage, when striking a target affected with {{ItemIcon|Mystic Vulnerability}} will trigger Tankbuster.
** Damage amp and spirit resist reduction will not help you in achieving the damage threshold to trigger the passive.
** Spirit Resist on target does not prevent Tankbuster from triggering. For example, an ability that deals 170 damage, when striking a target with {{ItemIcon|Spirit Resilience}} will still trigger Tankbuster.
** Damage reduction and the target's spirit resistance will not prevent the passive from triggering when it otherwise would.
** Most other sources seem to not affect the trigger, but more testing is required to confirm that.
* Interaction with spirit shields: The triggering of the additional damage is entirely unaffected by the target's barriers (or lack thereof).
* The triggering of the additional damage is entirely unaffected by the target's barriers (or lack thereof).
* The additional damage, and the ability which triggered the additional damage, are applied to the target as separate instances of damage. The additional damage from Tankbuster is dealt after the original spell damage. This has implications for abilities or effects that rely on single instances of damage, for example:
* The additional damage, and the ability which triggered the additional damage, are applied to the target as separate instances of damage. The additional damage from Tankbuster is dealt after the original spell damage.
** {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}} uses assassinate on an enemy {{HeroIcon|Warden}}. The baseline Assassinate on its own is not enough damage to kill the {{HeroIcon|Warden}}, but the increased damage (due to the additional damage from triggering Tankbuster) is enough to secure the kill. Since the additional damage from triggering Improved Burst is applied after the Assassinate, it is technically the item's damage which secures the kill, not the Assassinate. Thus, {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}} will not receive bonus gun damage from Assassinate's passive.
