💀 World War Z — The Dead Army

This build revolves around commanding a massive undead army that overwhelms enemies through constant pressure, sustained damage, and powerful utility effects.

Your minions do most of the work for you, allowing a very smooth and comfortable playstyle while still dealing excellent damage in high-end content.

🛡️ Your army becomes both your offense and your defense:

• Warriors pressure enemies in melee

• Shadow Mages provide ranged support and barriers

• Iron Golem buffs your entire army while controlling enemies

Meanwhile, automatic curses from Blood Moon Breeches constantly weaken enemies and generate valuable utility through:

✔️ Overpower stacks

✔️ Cooldown reduction

✔️ Slow & control

✔️ Execute effects

🔥 Top Necro build — your Undead Army stillcarries you to endgame without worrying about complex rotations.

🙏 Huge thanks to Latilou for helping theorycraft this beast!

Strengths and Weaknesses

Excellent AFK Farming — minions do most of the work for you while you safely progress through content.
This Minion Army is : Powerful! — strong summon scaling with a very smooth and comfortable playstyle.
Strong Single Target Damage — excellent bossing potential with high sustained damage output

Limited AoE Damage — Mendeln is no longer the insane screen-clearing version from previous seasons

👑 **Mythic Choices**

The only Mythics I really recommend for this build are:

Tyrael's Might — provides incredible survivability, extra tankiness, and strong defensive comfort for high-end content.

Heir of Perdition — grants a massive damage boost and significantly increases your overall DPS potential.

The Grandfather — is still a solid option, but in most cases a strong **Legendary Two-Handed Weapon** will provide higher damage through aspect scaling and better overall optimization.

Talismans

🧿 Talisman Setup

Berú of the Black Shroud your main set of choice for this build, providing strong synergy and overall power for your minion setup.

Pair it with Red Blessing as your unique charm to further amplify your offensive potential and overall efficiency.

Leveling Path

📜 This skill tree setup focuses on maximizing your minion army’s power while heavily amplifying utility, survivability, and synergies.

Decrepify and Iron Maiden are automatically cast by your minions thanks to Blood Moon Breeches, providing massive utility through:

• Overpower & Ferocity stacks

• Cooldown reduction

• Enemy slow

• Execute effects

This setup creates a very smooth and powerful endgame playstyle where your minions constantly pressure enemies while you scale into extremely strong sustained damage.

Paragon Board

📖 As you progress through the Paragon system, prioritize unlocking your Glyphes and key Legendary Nodes first.

Once your core setup is online, start investing additional points into maximizing your glyph bonuses.

This progression path provides a very smooth power curve for endgame farming and high-tier pushing.

Mercenary

🛡️ Raheir a no brain choice, granting a precious resistance buff and a damage buff for you.

⚔️ Varyana grants atk speed buff needed to reach the cap.

Together, they provide an excellent balance between survivability, damage scaling, and overall efficiency.

How it Plays

📖 **Skill Rotation**

1️⃣ Blood Wave — use it to get your 10 overpower stacks.

2️⃣ Golem — buff your minion army, stun enemies, and increase your overall combat efficiency.

3️⃣ Skeletal Warriors — command them actively to focus targets and improve your army’s pressure on priority enemies.

▬▬▬

Sever — use it for mobility and faster map traversal when no enemies are nearby.

Blood Mist — your panic button. Use it whenever you take dangerous damage or need immunity.

Skeletal Mages — only use manually if one of your mages dies and needs to be resummoned.

This playstyle is extremely smooth and relaxed, allowing your minions to do most of the work while you focus on positioning, utility, and buff management.
