    Vaal Ancestral Warchief

    Vaal Ancestral Warchief is a Vaal skill gem. It functions much the same as Ancestral Warchief, but deals more damage, in a cascade, and has the ability to leap towards enemies that are out of range.

    Skill functions and interactions

    Soul Gain Prevention: 9 seconds base, affected by totem duration, not affected by (reduced) skill effect duration, even when combined with Close Combat Support and Less Duration Support.
