Skill Design
It is not exactly known how the health factor works, does it deal 20% damage of the dog's max health? or current health? If the damage is equal to the dog's max health, then it is advised to sacrifice them when they are badly damaged, if the damage is equal to the dog's current health, it is advised to sacrifice them when they are at full hp, to maximize the damage. The explosion in which the dogs are sacrificed is magnificent, and can easily take out multiple enemies if used right.
