1. Mage Skeleton Guardian

Let's start with this classic minion build that is like having fireworks on your screen, the Mage Skeletons Guardian with the Templar class. I'm sure you will remember that to transform a regular Skeleton into a Mage ones. You used to need a unique jewel called Dead Reckoning, but that's changed because of the new Transfigured Gems. Now we have the Summon Skeletons of Mages gem, which naturally summons Mage Skeletons without the need for any mandatory unique item and for a much lower price. This means that Mage Skeletons became an even better starter than before.

Pros

Super tanky

3 free auras

Awesome boss damage

Safe gameplay

Currency farmer

Cheap

Easy to build

No mandatory unique item

Cons

Mage Skeletons don't move

No evasion or spell suppression

No elemental resistance buff

Budget

We need around 50 Chaos Orbs4 Divine Orbs.

Clear Speed 8/10

You have many skeletons firing many projectiles at a high cast speed rate. I took two points out because the Mage Skeletons don't move, and you need to keep re-summoning them. I also took note that the Guardian does not get the Flesh Offering speed buff like the Necromancer.

Boss Damage 9/10

The boss damage is also amazing. With the new Returning Projectiles support gem, 100% of projectiles will hit enemies twice. But since it's not as powerful as the nerfed Anomalous Faster Projectiles, I took one point out.

Survivability 10/10

This build has a big load of defensive layers, such as high armour, 75% chance to block attacks and spells. A minion that takes 20% of the damage for you, and since it's a minion build, you are far from danger all the time.

 

2. Archer Skeleton Guardian

Let's take the previous build to another level and make the Archer Skeletons Guardian with the Templar class. I'm pretty sure that, at this point, you all know about the very popular Mage Skeletons build. With the new transfigured gems, we now also have the Archer Skeletons. I spent my weekend trying that out, and I got this super fun build as a result. I hope you guys all enjoy it.

Pros

3 free auras

Awesome boss damage

Safe gameplay

Currency farmer

Cheap

Easy to build

Smooth gameplay

Cons

Less block chance

No evasion or spell suppression

Budget

We need about 80 Chaos – 4 Divs.

Mandatory Uniques

You only need one mandatory unique item for this build - the Lioneye's Vision Armor, which already grants the Pierce Support and allows us to have one more Support Gem for our Skeletons.

Clear Speed 9/10

We have many Archer Skeletons firing many arrows with high attack speed. And unlike the Mage Skeletons version that uses the spell Echo. Here, we can easily cast 4 skeletons at a time in different locations and increase the angle of destruction a lot.

Boss Damage 9/10

This build was capable of destroying big bosses in just a few seconds, even before the recent buffs.

Survivability 9/10

As a minion build, you stay far from danger while they tank and kill everything for you. It's a very safe playstyle. But this build also counts with over 90,000 effective HP because of high armor, block chance, and a minion that takes 20% of the damage for you. I only took one point out because since we're not using the staff like the Mage Skeletons version, we end up with less block chance and effective HP.

 

3. Poison SRS Guardian

Finally, we have an amazingly strong endgame build, the Poison Raging Spirits Guardian with the Templar Class. This build takes advantage of the high number of Raging Spirits we can summon to stack an absurd amount of poison on our enemies. Originally, I was trying to build it as a Necromancer. But with the Guardian, we lose just a little bit of damage but get almost three times more survivability.

Pros

Safe gameplay

Amazing boss damage

Great clear speed

Currency farmer

Easy leveling

Easy to play

High armour

High block chance

High life regeneration

Cons

Little evasion

Can't leech life or mana

Spirits need to be casted all the time

Budget

Need around 10 Divs.

Mandatory Uniques

You need four mandatory unique items for this build. The first one is the United in Dream Sword, which grants the Envy aura for a large amount of chaos damage to our minions. It also grants them a 60% chance to poison on hit.

We also need the Darkness Enthroned belt with two abyss jewel sockets to achieve a 100% chance to poison on our minions.

Nest, we need Covenant armor that grants our Raging Spirits a level 29 Added Chaos Damage support, which means a lot more chaos damage.

Finally, we also need the Ancient Skull, which grants our minions a huge damage and attack speed boost.

Clear Speed 9/10

Even though we have many fast minions that destroy everything in seconds, they have a short duration and need to be re-summoned all the time.

Boss Damage 10/10

You easily end up with over 30 million DPS. That is more than enough to decimate every boss in the game.

Survivability 10/10

As a minion build, you stay far from danger. But with this one, you also count on many defensive layers from the Guardian Ascendancy that grants this build the amazing amount of 250,000 effective HP.

 

Conclusion

Here is the end of Daniel's 3 Minions Builds. I hope you like this guide.
