the effect works without that additional invisible geometry why do you need it? 1,802 polys.

Also you dont need stand and death sequences for an effect

I have considered the issue you mentioned, and I believe that uploading a version without polygons is indeed a good suggestion. Originally, I intended to use a particle-based approach to replicate the visual appearance of this SFX in WOW; however, but feel difficult, which is why I kept the polygons.

As this is a one-time strike sfx, I originally intended to retain only the 'birth' animation. However, it seems to trigger sanity test warnings if wthout stand and death, which is why I added very short duration 'stand' and 'death' animations to keep completeness.

sanity test will give warning for any model without stand and death. for Effects you can ignore it

The effect looks very good and works in-game after testing.
