Vaal Absolution High Budget Update/Showcase | Legacy of Phrecia

Ascendancy Order Forbidden Secrets -> Depose Order -> Impure Blood -> Chaos Reigns Important Playstyle Note If Going Fever for Corruption (Ignore if Depose Order) After picking up Fever For Corruption Ascendancy in Act 8 you want to wait until you have the maximum amount of souls for Vaal Absolution before summoning him(this should not take too long to gather while mapping). Once you start summoning Innocence you will be constantly in soul gain prevention and using the precvousyl gathered souls to refresh him when he expires. By doing this even if we are in Soul gain prevention we still have permanent Uptime on Innocence for the next 5-7 minutes. By doing this we can take advantage of some strong modifiers that only apply while in soul gain prevention since we are always going to be in that state. Defensives Keep Steelskin as your defensive ability until you get a life flask with Immunity to Bleed/Corrupted blood. Then Switch to Molten Shell My Minions Keep Dying Help There are a number of particularly nasty combination of abilities, map mods, League mechanic etc that you can have that just screw your permanent minions over. But you can get the below stats to make them less likely to die 1.) Minion Physical damage reduction - Only minion defence against Bleeds and Corrupted Blood - Sources: Minion Spirit Shield, Anoint(Indomitable Army), Medium Cluster Jewel Notable(Dread March) 2.) Minion Chaos Resistance - Poison/wither map mods are especially nasty since we cant fit too many chaos res nodes on the tree - Sources: Ghastly Eye Jewel, Anoint(Grave intentions), Medium Cluster Jewel Notable(Dread March) 3.) Minion Elemental Resistance(And Max Res) - Many minions come with a different base values for resistance types, because of this it is hard to perfectly plan how much Elemental resistance your minions have, so you want to get as much as you can fit without sacrificing too much in your build - Sources: Ghastly Eye Jewel, Bone Ring, Minion Spirit Shield, anoint(Indomitable Army), Minion Defence Mastery(Max res), Elemental Army Support 4.) Minion Leech - If the minions being killed are your main dps minions, Leech is a fantastic defensive layer as it allows them to have alot more life recovery than their regen would allow them to - Sources: Ghastly Eye Jewels, Minion Defence Mastery, Energy shield leech Support 5.) Minion Regen - Your Minions can be as tanky as a soul eater mob fed max souls but if they do not have any sources of life being regained after taking damage they will ultimately die. It can also save them in some particularly nasty scenarios or enable the use of guardians blessing - Sources: Ghastly Eye Jewels, Anoints(Renewal, Righteous Army), Large/Medium Cluster Notable(Renewal)
