Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Defile notes.
- If Defile kills a minion with Deathrattle, the Deathrattle will resolve before the next recast of Defile. That means if the Deathrattle summons more minions, they too will ultimately be damaged.
- If Defile causes itself to be cast repeatedly, these additional "recasts" will not count as having been cast by the controlling player, and will therefore not trigger effects such as those of Gadgetzan Auctioneer nor add to the spell count of Yogg-Saron, Hope's End.[1] Neither will it trigger Archmage Antonidas, which can be obtained, for example, through Kabal Courier.
- Spell Damage effects on Defile will be recalculated for each subsequent recast, meaning that if a minion with Spell Damage dies from Defile, their effect will not carry over on the subsequent recasts.
- Due to the potential for an infinite loop when combining Defile and Grim Patron, Defile can re-cast itself 13 times, after the 14th cast, it will stop.[2][3]
- Similarly, having an Immune Necrotic Geist and an Immune source of Spell Damage will also result in 14 recasts. With an Immune Knife Juggler, this can be used for an OTK combo [4]

Lore
In World of Warcraft, "Defile" is an iconic ability used by The Lich King during his boss encounter in the Icecrown Citadel raid. The spell defiles the area under a random target. Anyone who enters the area takes Shadow damage and causes the defiled zone to grow.
In the World of Warcraft: Legion expansion, Defile was added as a level 100 talent for Unholy death knights. It works similarly to the Lich King version and replaces the similar death knight ability Death and Decay.
Trivia
- Despite Dreadsteed being changed specifically to prevent infinite loops, Defile stops recasting after 13 recasts as noted above.
