Build Overview

Abyssal Lich Twisters is one crazy way to play twisters! Abyssal Lich offers us the ability to go Chaos Inoculation and have so much speed to our Twister that you will barely be able to see the floor!

Leveling this character is pretty generic as its just Whirling Slash and Twister from level 1 until the end game.

A leveling guide for this build - https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/whirling-slash-twister-blast-through-the-campaign

A lot of people also ask me about gear in the campaign. You only care to keep upgrading your spear almost every act. You also wants to upgrade your rings and gloves for as much flat damage as possible. The rest of your gear is just Life/Energy Shield/Resistances. As far as the unique items go Wake of Destruction , Skysliver and Tangletongue are extremely common (Unless something changes in 0.5) and should be easy to get. They may start expensive but should drop off really quickly. As for the offhand Guiding Palm of the Eye you can just grab any scepter with spirit to start to fit in all your auras.

DO NOT LEVEL UP YOUR Whirling Slash LEAVE IT AT LEVEL 1

PLEASE NOTE THAT Trinity and Skeletal Sniper go on weapon set 2! Elemental Conflux and Skeletal Reaver on weapon set 1.

As you get more spirit and better gear you want to invest more into Skeletal Sniper and Skeletal Reaver

A big shoutout to 787Prada as he a great guide about this build and showcases all the breakpoints for the minions. That can be found here: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/abyssal-lich-projectile-twister

Whirling Slash Twister is an absolute power house when it comes to mapping. This build is able to clear multiple screens and can 1 shot the boss utilizing its combo.

This build uses the following to make it an absolute monster:

Resonance + Armour Break III allows us to create a large number of frenzy charges to power our skills

Barrage uses those frenzy to charge up our twisters to get a ton of extra damage

Whirling Slash lets us power us our twisters even more and doubles as a movement skill

Sniper's Mark allows us to mark big enemies for HUGE DAMAGE.

Sniper's Mark + Charge Profusion II only really needs to be used on big bosses who dont just die instantly.

and finally Twister. Once we use our Frenzy charges + Barrage and move to the boss using Whirling Slash we are able to unload a HUGE AMOUNT OF Twister devastating everything in our wake.

This build will be utilizing both Energy Shield and Evasion and when invested into should give us a very comfy defensive layer.

Note that we can do the following change to our glove slot:

We can use Essentia Sanguis for our gloves as they allow us to have some Energy Shield along side of our spear The Ordained.

Note a lot of players prefer to use a rare spear and they can be picked up relatively cheaply depending on when in the league we are. But if you have the currency The Ordained can clear all content easily. Note too for Skysliver you DONT NEED to spend a fortune on one. You can easily grab any spear and use a Essence of Haste as showcased in the video to make a spear.

If you are looking for lower level gloves you can grab Hand of Wisdom and Action. Outside of that for gloves you really want to have the following:

Flat Damage - Light / Cold / Fire / Phys - As many as you can get (upto 3)
Attack Speed
Resistances
Rarity

For the suffixes of the gloves you want to essentially fill what you need. If you need resistances get resistances. If you need attack speed do that. Same for rarity.


****HOW TO LEVEL THIS BUILD******


At level one grab a Spear from the gambling vendor or the one of the other vendor! When you can make the weapon rare! Note you will need to upgrade your spear a few times in the campaign so that damage doesnt fall off!

You are going to want to grab the following skills Whirling Slash Twister.

As you progress through Act 1 and level up you will eventually start to find some currency. When you do save it and try to buyWake of Destruction as fast as possible once your do youare good to go! From here just Whirling Slash and Twister when you have 3 Salvo charges and watch the magic happen!
