In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses a build strategy that utilizes skeletons and the “Bone Colom” for increased Essence and damage in the game. Key points include a 12% damage increase for 4 seconds after consuming corpses, which is facilitated by having many corpses available through various means like bone constructs and skeletons, enhanced by using “Book of the Dead”. Additionally, the build focuses on using active spells efficiently, while benefiting from offensive aspects such as “Explosive Blood Mist” to trigger corpse explosions and “Blood Soak Aspect” for increased movement speed and damage. The efficacy of this build is questioned due to recent nerfs, prompting the speaker to also explore an alternative build that emphasizes summoning skeletons and mass armies, with skills upgrading “Decompose” and “Blight” to boost minion damage.

The build uses skeleton skirmishers and bow mages for increased damage, while bone golems are chosen for generating additional corpses due to level restrictions. Key legendary aspects such as the aspects of frenzy dead and utility aspects for increasing minion count are highlighted, along with defensive aspects to reduce damage taken.

The Book of the Dead system is used to enhance the skeleton warriors both defensively and offensively. The use of legendary aspects, such as Needle Flayer for AoE damage with Thorns, as well as aspects that boost damage while standing still and provide auto-healing, is highlighted.
