Does Quick finish ruin the Paintball effect?

[M4RVII]

Ex. if I throw paintball then quick finish the monster will it still increase a chance of retreat?

If you instant kill you just got the rewards of battle and xp

Yes Quick finish kills the paintball effect.

I thought the same as what Seeker said at first, but then I have definitely gotten retreats a few times after quick finishing recently. Both with and without paintballs I believe.

Can confirm, they can still retreat if you quick finish, paint ball or not

+1 to confirming retreat on quick finish. I've seen it numerous times.

For me paintball and quick finish gives me a higher retreat rate then just quick finish alone.

But when in a real fight (especially on the lower ranked monsters) it is also very easy to reach the increased retreat conditions stated in the Monsterpedia and even increase retreat rate further. Which could give you the false impression paintball doesn't work on quick finish.
