Overview
This is an Infernalist minion build centered on Powered Zealots, updated to fold in Rakiata’s Flow as a damage multiplier. Rakiata’s Flow makes hits from supportive skills treat enemy elemental resistance as inverted, so the Zealots’ lightning damage (plus added fire from the ascendancy) lands as if every monster were heavily negative-resistance. That single change lets the build drop its old Blasphemy resistance curse and Frost Bomb exposure entirely, freeing two skill slots.
Those freed slots go to extra reviving minions, because the Muster support grants 7% more damage per distinct type of reviving minion summoned — and “more” is multiplicative. Adding two more reviving minion types translates to roughly 14% more damage across the whole army. The creator pads the roster with skeletal arsonists (to deal with the flying enemies Zealots struggle to hit), brutes, storm mages for shock, and Unearth for a self-propelled bone-crawler swarm that shines in Abyss-heavy maps.
The result is a comfortable, low-input playstyle: stay near your minions for the presence buff, dodge, and let the army clear. The creator reports farming 200% delirium with Abyss layered in.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Rakiata’s Flow inverts enemy elemental resistance, hugely boosting Zealot damage
- Muster scaling rewards a diverse reviving-minion roster (14%+ more damage from two extra types)
- Very low-input — minions clear maps and delete bosses while you reposition and dodge
- Unearth bone-crawlers excel in Abyss-heavy maps for fast clear
- Already comfortable before adding Rakiata’s Flow, so the expensive gem is optional
Cons
- Powered Zealots struggle to hit flying enemies (needs skeletal arsonists as a patch)
- Endgame-oriented update — assumes you progressed through the creator’s earlier leveling and endgame guides
- Rakiata’s Flow is a divine-tier investment for the final damage tier
- Pinnacle-boss resistance nerfs in 0.5.4 slightly reduce Rakiata’s Flow value against bosses
Key Skills
- Powered Zealots — main damage minions, dealing lightning plus ascendancy fire
- Rakiata’s Flow (support) — inverts enemy elemental resistance for supportive-skill hits
- Muster (support) — 7% more minion damage per distinct reviving-minion type summoned
- Unearth — summons bone-crawlers that swarm and suffocate packs, excellent in Abyss
- Skeletal Arsonists — handle flying enemies and shotgun grenades through Flame Wall
Gear & Anointments
Gear is largely unchanged from the creator’s earlier endgame setup: a scepter with added levels of minion skills is the core item. The Infernalist Inferno Hound and minion-life reservation feed energy shield; dropping Inferno Hound frees ascendancy points and a companion slot for Summon Wolves if preferred. Jewels supply increased minion damage, attack and cast speed, and presence area of effect. Specific uniques and rare rolls should be confirmed against the source video and the creator’s linked progression guides.
Endgame Notes
The creator farms 200% delirium with Abyss using this setup and showcases the minions deleting bosses with minimal player input. This is positioned as a level-90+ endgame iteration; earlier leveling and progression are covered in the creator’s league-starter and earlier endgame videos.
