    Summon Skeletons

    Summon Skeletons is a spell that summons allied skeleton warrior minions.

    Skill Functions and Interactions

    • Feeding Frenzy Support - Skeletons warriors can use the Dash skill. Skeleton mages will not.

    • Dead Reckoning - Converts your Skeleton Warriors to Skeleton Mages. Skeleton Mages cast ranged fire, cold, or lightning spell projectiles. They can be modified with support gems such as Faster Casting Support.

    • Spell Totem Support - When Summon Skeletons is supported with Spell Totem Support, the totem will continue to cast Summon Skeletons even if the maximum number of skeletons has been reached. Older skeletons will then be replaced by newer skeletons, possibly switching target.

    Version history

    VersionChanges
    3.19.0
  • The damage and life scaling values for minions have been adjusted. Generally speaking, minion life and damage is unchanged in the very early game, roughly 30% lower in mid acts, roughly 20% lower at level 20 of the minion skill, and roughly 10% lower at level 30 of the minion skill.

    • 3.10.0
  • Damage dealt by minions at all gem levels has been lowered by approximately 40%. This change isn't visible on the gem as it is a property of the minion itself, and does not affect Skeleton Mages or any other non-basic Skeleton minions summoned by Vaal Summon Skeletons.
  • The number of maximum summoned skeletons you can have at gem level 20 is now 7 (from 8).

It now summons a single skeleton per cast and has a base limit of 5 summoned skeletons.
