Catarina Bloodline interaction

Have a question that only Devs will have answer to right now, but figured I'd ask before the launch of 3.27 on Friday.

So, the Catarina Bloodline in "Keepers of the Flame" has a node called 'Prolonged Servitude'. Makes it so minions cannot be killed, and when they would be killed they instead become invulnerable, going to 1hp for 6 seconds, then die.

Cool node, makes sense, except for one skill gem: Raise Zombie of Falling.

This gem generates a sky-bound zombie who falls, does one attack in an AOE, and then goes splat (and dies). The attack is more powerful then normal for a zombie, which is neat. The skill also has a zombie limit of 200 (to help with cast speed boosting). But... what happens when the zombie CAN'T go splat?

Basically, just seeing what happens here from any knowledgeable Dev before I plan any sort of build around this. So here's my questions:

>Does the zombie still go splat, and too bad your node doesn't work?
>Does the zombie attack on ground hit, not go splat, and then just sit there for 6 seconds? (Can be useful with Aukuna's Will...)
>And if the zombie doesn't go splat and sits there for 6 seconds, what can it do during that 6 seconds? Does the zombie have the ability to move? To attack like a normal zombie after it stops falling? I assume its still a zombie with attack speed, yea? Are its attacks normal or are they boosted in AOE and damage like when it fell?

If no one has any answers for this, that's fine, will test it myself at some point and update :)

I have the exact same question, but for bodyswap of sacrifice
Got the answer: The Raise Zombies of Falling has been clarified that the sky-bound zombie summoned CANNOT survive the fall, thus ignores the Catarina node. Sad, but oh well.
