Killing enemies in pause with hotkeyed abilites

[Lamppost in Winter]

Throughout both versions of the Beta, I've noticed enemies dying randomly, even while in pause, with no indication as to who killed them:

 

I just figured out how: with a hotkeyed ability (e.g., Strike the Bell or Knock Down), you can press the hotkey, click on an enemy, and it'll apply the damage while in pause. You can do this repeatedly, cancelling and re-targeting, and enemies will die while in pause.

Yes. But you can turn it off by disabling cheats, if it's uncomfortable.

 

P.S. Btw, Q does exactly 1/4 max hp damage. So the mouseovered target will go from Unharmed->Healthy->Hurt->Bloodied->Dead.

Does this work with any hotkey, or only with "K"?

I had no idea what this meant when I first read it and forgot about this topic. Then I came back to the beta and realised hovering over and hitting "Q" applies damage regardless of hotkeys or pause and "U" and "K" automatically kills them. I guess this is a dev cheat codey thing to get through fights quickly?
