Trivia
- Before September 30, 2022, there was a bug where Kaliyah could permanently ragdoll a player, rendering them in "dead"-like state.
- Despite this being listed as fixed 2 different times, this bug would still occur and would not get completely fixed until an unknown update during Season 7.
- Despite being projectiles, Fireballs can add stacks of Dragon Rage.
- TNT explosions, Beehive Grenade initial explosion and Black Hole explosions can also apply stacks.
- Stacks can also be applied by damaging enchantments - Fire, Static and Forest.
- Before the July 19th, 2024 update, Kaliyah could add stacks of Dragon Rage onto herself.
- Activating the punch ability would flask the screen black for a moment and trigger the Anti-Cheat.
- As of February 17, 2023, Kaliyah can no longer punch entities or clones.
- Kaliyah is also known as the "Dragon Warrior" and the "Fire Dragon".
- During season 8, forging could increase the damage of Kaliyah's dragon punch, allowing impact punches to reach extremely high values of damage if combined with the critical strike enchant and team damage upgrade.
- The dagger’s 40% damage boost from the dash attack also increases punch damage for its duration, and it still does to this day.
- If a Kaliyah defeats an enemy with her punch, there is a rare chance that the player will take infinite damage.
- On rarer occasions, the punch can deal infinite damage to the enemy at random despite not being at the threshold for it to trigger.
