An update is pending to fix the Book of the Dead descriptions, but the ones selected are the ones to select in-game.


The first Skeletal Warriors Skirmishers upgrade is the core of the build, as with Service and Sacrifice Skeleton Warrior we will constantly be killing off and respawning our Warriors to proc their Leap effect for massive amounts of consistent damage. Bone Golem is also choses to supply the needed Corpses to fuel the Warriors.

Gear choices should focus on survivability first, with any offensive stats being nice bonuses.

The core of the build is using the early game damage from the Service and Sacrifice Skeleton Warrior upgrade for your Warriors and supplying that with the Bone Golem to spawn endless amounts of Corpses to fuel the Warriors.

Paragon Board

How it Plays

  1. Press your Golem active to taunt enemies and spawn Corpses
  2. Press Corpse Tendrils to group enemies and apply Vulnerable
  3. Use Army of the Dead if needed for extra damage and Corpses
  4. Sit back and watch your Skeletal Warriors Skirmishers explode and leap all over the place

How it Works

Level 1 - 16

During the starting levels, focus on your Skeletal Mages Shadow for the best early game damage. These will be the main tool used to get through the start of the game until later unlocks

Level 16 - 25

Starting at level 16, the Service and Sacrifice Skeleton Warrior upgrade is unlocked for your Skeletal Warriors Skirmishers. Only 1 point will be put into your Mages and Golem, with all your remaining points focused on maximizing your Warriors skill ranks and upgrades.

25 - 60

Starting at leveling 25 we can start investing in Army of the Dead to pick up Unyielding Commander Army of the Dead. Only 1 point is needed in the ultimate as the damage is irrelevant and the cooldown does not change with level, so you can keep focusing points into your Warriors. This basic structure will take you all the way up to level 60.
