Removed example for Vindicta's ult, as recent patches have modified it such that the example provided is no longer correct. To my understanding, all similar kill-based stacking effects (Vindicta and Mo) now function for a few seconds after the relevant skill is used, meaning the comment as a whole is no longer needed.

* 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:

** {{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.
