Vaal Aspect PoE

Ah, Vaal Aspects! These intriguing item fragments hold the potential to unlock immense power, but at the cost of considerable risk.

Vaal Aspects are four unique helmet pieces dropped from Vaal-themed endgame bosses. When combined in the correct order, they transform into The Adorned, a powerful helmet imbued with potent Vaal skills and bonuses.

Each Vaal Aspect grants a specific skill when used:

  • Vaal Aegis: Summons a protective shield that grants spell block and a powerful counterattack when broken.
  • Vaal Claw: Unleashes a barrage of razor-sharp projectiles, dealing massive physical damage.
  • Vaal Mask: Creates a dark aura that weakens enemies and empowers you with leech and life gain on kill.
  • Vaal Shadow: Transforms you into a shadowy doppelganger that deals chaos damage and can teleport away from danger.

The Adorned itself boasts impressive stats and additional Vaal skills:

  • High life and energy shield rolls
  • Increased movement speed
  • Reduced attribute requirements
  • Vaal Blast: Inflicts a devastating area-of-effect explosion after killing an enemy.
  • Vaal Soul: Upon death, a powerful Vaal Soul rises from your corpse, unleashing devastating attacks before expiring.

Obtaining Vaal Aspects:

  • Dropped from Uber Elder, Atziri, Shaper of Worlds, and Elder Guardians in their Vaal Temple forms.
  • Can be traded with other players.

Combining Vaal Aspects:

  • Place the fragments in the correct order (Aegis - Claw - Mask - Shadow) in the Vaal Altar in the Vaal Temple.
  • Be prepared for a challenging encounter with corrupted versions of the bosses you defeated for the fragments.

The Gamble:

Corrupting a Vaal Aspect with a Vaal Orb has a chance to:

  • Upgrade the item to a higher tier, potentially granting stronger skills and stats.
  • Downgrade the item to a lower tier.
  • Destroy the item entirely.

Vaal Aspects offer a unique and exciting way to customize your character and unleash devastating Vaal skills. However, the risks involved should not be underestimated. Weigh the potential rewards against the dangers before embarking on this perilous path.
