    Summon Skitterbots

    Summon Skitterbots is a skill which reserves mana to summon two invulnerable Skitterbot minions. The Skitterbots search for traps and mines you have laid and trigger/detonate some of them. Mines detonated by Skitterbots are re-armed to detonate a second time. One Skitterbot has an aura that chills nearby enemies and the other has an aura that shocks nearby enemies. Skitterbots grant more trap and mine damage to the owner.

    Skill functions and interactions

    • Even though Skitterbots are invulnerable, they deal damage over time to nearby monsters when supported by Infernal Legion Support.

    • The base aura radius is 30 units.

    • Each Skitterbot has a 3 second cooldown on their mine activation.

    • The Skitterbots' base Chill is a 10% reduction of Enemy Action Speed and the base Shock is 15% increased Damage Taken. This is before the "Increased Effect of Shock" and "Increased Chill Effect on Enemies" bonuses of the gem are taken into account. This makes Summon Skitterbots a versatile defensive/offensive option for many builds, not just mine/trap-focused builds.

    • You can't summon the Skitterbots while wearing The Primordial Chain due to the "You cannot have non-Golem Minions" modifier.

    • The skill itself is not an Aura, even though it has an Aura Gem tag and reserves mana like every other Aura in the game. Therefore it wont be counted towards amount of Auras player has. This is especialy usefull for builds that utilise mechanics that limit the amount of Auras player can have, for example Keystones like Supreme Ego or Mortal Conviction.

    • Chilling and Shocking Auras are a property of Skitterbot minions, not a player so they wont benefit from modifiers affecting player Auras like "Increased Effect of Non-Curse Auras" or "Increased Area of Effect of Non-Curse Auras".
