Reaper Death Seal Lich Build Guide

Easy to play!

Beginner friendly!

Fast-paced gameplay!

Highly mobility!

Decent survivability!

High damage!

Low cost spammable abilities

Boss fights require you to replace Transplant with Summon Skeleton (for Unholy Trinity 3/3)

Death Seal requires you to be low life (slightly mitigated by Reaper Form)

Maps with low enemy density make Reaper Form hard to sustain for long periods

Can be squishy outside of Reaper Form

The idea of this build is to scale the damage on Hungering Souls while also being highly mobile and tanky.

To scale this damage we use Reaper Form then use Hungering Souls on the first few minions we see. This will spawn our Skeleton Vanguard for MASSIVE damage boost - Unholy Trinity 3/3 .

We then can scale this damage further with Death Seal - Corrupted Consciousness 5/5 & Deadlock 1/1 combo.

But won't being on 33% life make me squishy? – No, we negate this with Reaper Form's Desperate Shroud 3/3, Transplant's Bone Armor 3/3 and Soul Maw 5/5.

Wandering Spirits will than apply Drained Will 5/5 & Sins of the Forgotten 1/3, shredding resistances and dealing more DAMAGE!

Recommended Skill Rotation:

Reaper Form -> Transplant -> Death Seal -> Wandering Spirits -> Hungering Souls -> Reap to execute then use Hungering Souls to help sustain Reaper Form

Extra Tips:

• When doing bosses consider replacing Transplant with unspecialized Summon Skeleton for maximum uptime on Unholy Trinity 3/3
• Transplant is used as a mobility skill as well as for Bone Armor 3/3 damage reduction
• Reaper Form is for damage/survivability/mobility, this needs to be kept active with Hungering Souls and Wandering Spirits damage leech - Soul Maw 5/5
• Reap is for mobility mostly but can also be used to execute low health mobs - Dark Harvest 3/3
• Death Seal is used for a massive damage boost and should be used as often as you can - Note: this will reduce your life! - Deadlock 1/1
• Wandering Spirits for extra damage but mostly for necrotic resistance shred on enemies - Drained Will 5/5
• WHILE YOU HAVE Unholy Trinity 3/3 DO NOT USE ANY SHRINES THAT GIVE MINIONS - you will lose significant damage

Leveling is simple, follow the passive tree as normal and use Rip Blood and Summon Skeleton till you unlock Hungering Souls

Hungering Souls is unlocked very early on with only 5 passive points need to be assigned.

Specialize them as you get them, you should have Reaper Form before Death Seal, so specialize it last.

A loot filter that will sort items based on the stat requirements.

Items are sorted according to this color code:

• Blue -> Required affixes - Low tier
• Green -> Required affixes - Higher than Tier 3
• Yellow -> Two Required affixes - Both affix Tiers adding to higher than 8
• Red -> Two Required affixes - Both affix Tiers adding to higher than 12

Note:

I recommend disabling the Blue tier after the campaign or adding rule at the top to hide magic and normal items.

What is the reasoning for all of the minion nodes on Hungering Souls, like Grave Bond 4/4 and Unholy Trinity 3/3? This build uses 0 minions?

• We are utilizing the Lich Passive Node Harvested Legions 2/2 in order to get the minions required.

My Skeleton Vanguard's die too quickly during a boss fight. What should I do?

• There are two options for this we dropped Transplant and use an unspecialized Summon Skeleton for the fight or we take the Passive Nodes Soul Aegis 1/1 or Grave Thorns 5/5.
