Ancient Spirits

Follower Spirits / Control

Permanent ancestral spirits drift, surge, and shove lesser foes aside before transforming into Ancestral Hunt.

Conjure permanent, castless spirits that loosely follow you through unpredictable drifts, pauses, curved paths, and sudden catch-up surges. Contact damages enemies and gently shoves lesser foes away.

Current build preview: This page shows how Ancient Spirits plays in the current v0.63 build. Balance, visuals, upgrade details, and presentation may still change over time.
