Quick questions. Whats a 'fatality'? Who are 'infected'?

Hi. I wanted to clarify something - I’m finding items with affixes like ‘Increase damage by X% after Fatality’ - what exactly is a ‘Fatality’ in the context of this game? Also, I found a breastplate with the affix ‘Infected enemy stagger resistance decreased by X%’ - does this refer to pestilence-type enemies? Or who exactly counts as ‘infected’ here?

infected enemy stagger refers to the plague damage type…if plague is procced, they are more likely to stagger

fatality means something like death/ casualty, therefore it is maybe/ probably an effect after a kill but then arises the question why other affixes are worded as “after kill”

Fatality was explained in the patchnotes of the breach. It is basically you killing an enemy with a charge attack of weapons able to perform them or any rune attack

thanks for clarifying…so it is a worse version of “effect on kill”
