The KBTA only happens if you take damage from something, then something in the environment kills you. Example-

Cabal instakill- The inward facing Phalanx melee sends you back so far, so fast, that it instakills you if you run into a solid object. However, the Cabal is only credited with the kill because the melee is an attack. It does a small amount of damage, then you die from the splatter. KBTA.
