}} From the [[direct damage spells]] with a damage dealing capability of 300 + (power × 75), it is the most destructive spell for a single creature stack. From the spells that can cause collateral damage, [[Armageddon]] is the most destructive.


Implosion also has the highest slope value of 75, which means that for every point [[power]] increases Implosion does 75 points more damage. In comparison, Armageddon has 50, [[Chain Lightning]] has 40 and [[Magic Arrow]] has 10.

The highest possible damage for Implosion cast by a player is 571611 points of damage. This requires Expert Earth Magic (or [[Rockland]], or [[Magic plains]]), Expert [[Sorcery]], Sorcery as hero specialty (gives 5% bonus to Sorcery per level), maximum Power (99), maximum hero level (6424) and [[Orb of Silt]]. 563886 (ca. 98%)  points are the bonus from Sorcery skill. Therefore this is the highest possible damage to deal to one unit by one spell by a player. It is, however, possible for [[Faerie Dragon]] to cast spells of theoretically infinite strength. For highest possible damage to deal to multiple units at once by one spell, see [[Armageddon]].
==Comments==
 
Single most powerful targeted damage spell in the entire game. Its damage scaling is vicious, and it can easily annihilate even the most resilient of enemies (excluding the higher-level Golems, even if you had Power 99 and Orb of Silt).
In [[HotA]]{{-wh}}, the maximum hero level is 74. A hero with Expert Sorcery and Sorcery Specialty, wielding an [[Orb of Silt]] while residing in a Dungeon with the Guardian of Earth, while equipped with the [[Titan's Cuirass]], the [[Helm of Heavenly Enlightenment]], the [[Lion's Shield of Courage]], the [[Celestial Necklace of Bliss]], the [[Sword of Judgement]], the [[Sandals of the Saint]] and the [[Dragon Wing Tabard]] can reach Spell Power of -102. The value is negative, most likely due to a stack overflow. In that situation, the Implosion spell will deal 19756 damage. Note, that without the aforementioned artifacts (except for the Orb of Silt), the Hero will have Spell Power of 123 and the Implosion will deal 19669 damage. These numbers are the highest values of damage a single spell can deal to one creature in [[HotA]]{{-wh}}.
