Everything We Need To Know About The 3 Best Minion Builds In Path Of Exile 3.23

Jan 25, 2024

Hi, Builders! I am going to show you 3 best minion builds in Path of Exile 3.23. To discover more about these 3 minon builds, just follow along with my steps and obtain the knowledge you require.

Make sure you have plenty of POE Currency to to assist you with these builds.

Everything We Need To Know About The 3 Best Minon Builds In Path Of Exile 3.23

3. Mage Skeletons 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 our regular skeletons into major ones, you used to need a unique jewel called de Reckoning. Well, that’s changed because of the new transfigure gems. Now we have the Summon Skeletons of Mage. This gem naturally summons made skeletons without the need for any mandatory unique POE Items and for a much lower price. This means that Mage Skeletons become an even better starter than before.

Pros & Cons

To the pros of this build, I would start with survivability. With the Guardian ascendancy, you get almost a 75% chance to block attacks and spells, a huge life regeneration, and a new Sentinel of Radiance that takes 20% of the damage for you. All of that combined with the fact that this is a minion build that is very safe to play because you stay behind your minions, and they can kill enemies from a big distance. Also, with the new Elemental Relic, you and your minions get 3 damage auras totally for free, resulting in great boss damage.

Now, to the cons: start by saying that Mage Skeletons don’t move. They feel more like a totem build. For that reason, you need to keep resummoning them while clearing maps. The Guardian ascendancy also doesn’t get a speed boost from Flesh Offering like Necromancer, so it’s a little slower. Above all, when comparing to the Necromancer, this version also doesn’t get that awesome 30% to all elemental resistances for you and your minions.

Budget

As for the budget, this build is cheaper than ever. You can get it to destroy early end-game maps with only around 50 chaos to comfort. With advanced yellow maps, I recommend investing around 120 Chaos Orbs, and for easily completing A8, I recommend investing around 4 divines.

Clear Speed

For clear speed, I’ll give it 8 out of 10. You have many skeletons firing many projectiles at a high cast speed rate. I took 2 points out because the M Skeletons don’t move, and you need to keep resummoning them, and also because the Guardian does not get the Flesh Offering speed boost like The Necromancer.

Boss Damage

The boss damage is also amazing, deserves 9 out of 10. With the new returning projectile support gem, 100% of projectiles will hit enemies twice. But since it’s not as powerful as the nerfed Anomalous Faster Projectiles, I took 1 point out for this.

Survivability

For Survivability, I’ll give it 10 out of 10. This build has a big load of defensive layers, such as high armor, 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 Skeletons Guardian

Now 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 the very popular Mage Skeletons build. Well, with the new transfigure gems, we now also have the Archer Skeletons. So, I spent my week trying them out, and I got this super fun build as a result. I hope you can enjoy it.

Pros & Cons

To get the pros of this build, I would start with how balanced it is. Unlike the Mage Skeletons, this build has a much smoother clear speed and can do even more damage to bosses. This build also is not complicated to put together. We only need one mandatory unique item that is pretty cheap. Above all, as a Guardian, we still have 3 damage auras for free and a minion that takes 20% of the damage for us.

Now to the cons: start saying that even though this build is still very tanky and safe, it’s not as tanky as the Mage Skeletons version because it has less block chance. If you mind your position, it will be hard for you to die.

Budget

As for the budget, this build is pretty cheap. You can get it to destroy early-game maps with only around 80 chaos to comfort. With advanced yellow maps, I recommend investing around 150 chaos, and for easily completing A8, I recommend investing around 4 divines, but you can totally do it with less. You only need 1 mandatory unique item for this build, the Lioneye’s Vision armor that already grants the Pierce support and allows us to have 1 more support gem for our skeletons.

Clear Speed

For clear speed, I’ll give it 9 out of 10. Even though we have many Archer skeletons firing many arrows with high attack speed, and unlike the Mage Skeletons version that uses the Spell Echo, we can easily cast 4 skeletons at a time in different locations and increase a lot their angle of destruction.

Boss Damage

The boss damage is also amazing, deserves 10 out of 10. The gameplay you’re watching is destroying those end-game bosses in a few seconds, and it’s only using the Determination aura. But if you’re playing on the Affliction League, you can use the Spectre of the Guardian Turtle for a free Determination aura and use Pride for a lot more damage.

Survivability

For the survivability, this one is surely a 10 out of 10. As a minion build, you already stay far from danger, but with this one, you also see many defensive layers from the Guardian ascendancy that grants this build the amazing amount of 250,000 effective HP.

1. Poison Raging Spirits 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 bit of damage but get almost 3 times more survivability.

Pros & Cons

To the pros of this build, I would start with its boss damage. Once the build is complete, you’re going to kill even the biggest bosses in just a few seconds. The survivability is also amazing since we can have all the defensive layers of a Guardian on a minion build that is already very safe to play.

Now to the cons: start saying that this build isn’t for everyone. You need a lot of POE Currency to put it together. Another issue is that Raging Spirits have a short duration, and you have to often stop to resummon them.

Budget

As for budget, this build will need at least 10 Divine Orbs to put together. It’s an expensive one. You need 4 mandatory unique items for this build. The first one is the United in Dream sword that grants the aura for a big amount of chaos damage to our minions. It also grants them a 60% chance to poison on hits. We also need a Darkness Enthroned belt that has 2 Abyssal sockets for us to achieve a 100% chance to poison on our minions. Next, we need a Covenant armor that grants our Raging Spirits a Level 29 Added Chaos Damage support. This means a lot more chaos damage. Finally, we also need the Ancient Skull that grants a tremendous damage and attack speed boost to our minions.

Clear Speed

For clear speed, I’ll give this one 9 out of 10. Even though we have many fast minions that destroy everything in seconds, they have a short duration and need to be resummoned all the time. That’s why I took one point out.

Boss Damage

The boss damage totally deserves 10 out of 10. You easily end up with over 30 million DPS, which is more than enough to decimate every boss in the game.

Survivability

For survivability, this one is surely a 10 out of 10. As a minion build, you already stay far from danger, but with this one, you also see many defensive layers from the Guardian ascendancy that grants this build the amazing amount of 250,000 effective HP.
