Diablo 4 Minions

Minions includes your Skeletal Warriors, Skeletal Mages, and Golem.

Necromancer Minions inherit 30% of most stats such as Critical Strike Chance and Attack Speed. Necromancers can use the Book of the Dead to sacrifice the ability to summon their Minions for personal power.

If all other Skeletons have been summoned, then Raise Skeleton will instead summon a Skeletal Priest who will temporarily buff all nearby Minions.

Skeletal Warriors

  • Fast-attacking Skirmishers, which have increased damage but reduced Life.
  • Sword and board Defenders, which have bonus Life.
  • Scythe wielding Reapers, which have a slower attack, deals AoE in front of them, and have a wind-up attack that deals a high amount of damage.

The Book of the Dead is a unique Necromancer-specific skill mechanic that allows the player to customize the Necromancer’s minions, how minions are deployed, which minions the player can have, and how they behave. The core skills center on three summons: skeleton warriors and mages, and a golem. Each summon has three variants to choose from. And each variant has three modifications: two Upgrades (only one may be active at atime) and Sacrifice, which disables summoning that minion in exchange for conferring a permanent buff to the Necromancer.
