Summon Holy Relic: What Does It Mean in PoE 2?
The Summon Holy Relic is a unique skill gem in Path of Exile 2 that allows players to summon a supportive relic, providing various benefits during gameplay. This skill is particularly useful for characters focusing on minions or those looking for additional defensive mechanisms.
Mechanics of Summon Holy Relic
When you cast Summon Holy Relic, a relic is summoned that follows you around. The relic activates its abilities whenever you hit an enemy with an attack. Here are the core mechanics:
- Supportive Aura: The holy relic emits an aura that grants increased life regeneration to you and your allies.
- Triggered Ability: Each time you hit an enemy, the relic releases a pulse that deals damage to surrounding enemies and heals nearby allies.
- Duration and Cooldown: The relic remains active until it's unsummoned or you leave the area. The pulse ability has a cooldown, limiting its frequency of activation.
Strategies for Using Summon Holy Relic
Integrating Summon Holy Relic into your build can enhance both your offensive and defensive capabilities. Consider the following strategies:
- Minion Builds: Pairing the holy relic with other minion skills can create a powerful synergy, boosting the survivability of your minions while also dealing additional damage to enemies.
- Life-Based Builds: The healing pulse from the relic can be a critical component for characters focusing on life regeneration, keeping you and your allies healthier in battles.
- Positioning: Maintain close proximity to your relic to maximize the efficiency of its aura and healing pulses. Proper positioning is key to leveraging its full potential.
Interactions and Synergies
The Summon Holy Relic skill gem can interact with various other game mechanics and items, enhancing its effectiveness:
- Support Gems: Linking the relic with support gems like Minion Damage Support or Increased Area of Effect Support can amplify its offensive capabilities.
- Passives: Invest in passive skills that enhance minions or aura effects to further strengthen the relic’s benefits.
- Unique Items: Certain unique items can modify the relic’s behavior, offering new strategic possibilities.
