Zombie skills[edit | edit source]

The Zombie tree focuses on summoning various minions. Like any skill tree focusing on any element of gameplay, it cannot be called a skill tree if it doesn't have signature skills that can actually kill. Luckily for us, the Zombie tree has a few cool skills that makes enemies easy to kill, like Sacrifice, Parasite and Wall of Zombies.

Tier I[edit | edit source]

Summon Zombie Dog
- Summon a pet Zombie Dog (formerly known as Mongrel).
Mind and Body
- A passive skill; regenerates mana and health.

Tier II[edit | edit source]

Zombie Charger
- Summon a reckless, enraged zombie from the ground to assault your enemies.
Sacrifice
- Detonate a nearby Zombie Dog in an explosion, dealing damage X% of the Zombie Dog's health to monsters nearby.

Tier III[edit | edit source]

Grasp of the Dead
- Summon undead hands that reach out from the ground, attacking all enemies within 8 yards of the targeted location.
Unrelenting Assault

Tier IV[edit | edit source]

Leader of the Pack

Tier V[edit | edit source]
