Introducing the Necro in Season 10 – and wow, it’s feeling strong. You’ve got two playstyles that really stand out: either roll with a whole squad of skeletons and let them shred everything for you, or go full blood magic and just drown the screen in red.
The Blood Wave build in particular is crazy fun. You’re basically turning yourself into a walking meat grinder – huge waves of blood crashing through packs, deleting anything in the way. It’s flashy, it hits hard, and it feels super satisfying when you wipe out a whole group in one cast.
Skill Tree
Blood Nova: Unleash a wave of blood that damages enemies in a cone in front of you.
Blood Rush: Dash through enemies, leaving a trail of blood in your wake that damages and slows them.
Blood Siphon: Drain the life force of enemies around you, healing yourself in the process.
Blood Armor: Form a protective barrier of blood around yourself, absorbing damage for a short period of time.
Playstyle
The key to mastering the Blood Wave build is to keep moving and stay aggressive. Use your Blood Rush ability to quickly reposition yourself and avoid incoming attacks, then unleash your Blood Nova to deal massive damage to groups of enemies. Remember to use your Blood Siphon ability strategically to keep your health topped up during intense battles.
Minion Build
If commanding an army of the undead is more your style, the Minion build is the perfect choice for you. Raise skeletal warriors, summon bloodthirsty ghouls, and control powerful golems to overwhelm your enemies with sheer numbers.
Skill Tree
Raise Skeletons: Summon a horde of skeletal warriors to fight by your side.
Summon Ghouls: Call forth bloodthirsty ghouls to relentlessly attack your enemies.
Golem Mastery: Control a powerful golem to crush your foes with brute force.
Command Undead: Dominate enemy minions and turn them against their former allies.
Playstyle
Running a minion-focused Necro in S10 is all about babysitting your undead squad. You’re constantly re-summoning when they drop, keeping the pressure up, and then dropping the Golem on anything chunky that needs deleting. It feels really satisfying when you see your little army swarm a pack and just melt it.
On the flip side, if you’re not into micromanaging skeleton HR, the Blood Wave build is pure chaos. You’re basically a walking red tsunami, blasting waves through screens of mobs and watching everything evaporate.
Both builds feel super different but equally fun. Personally, I love testing out weird combos and seeing what clicks. That’s the best part of Necro this season — you can go full general of the dead, or just drown Sanctuary in blood.
