[3.3 Video Guide] Beginner's Guide: Zombie Build "Umbrella Corp Apocalypse Build"

For this build, if you don't want to lose life due to Vis Mortis would it be beneficial to use a Cloak of Tawm'r Isley Savant's Robe? I'm noticing that currently my minions die when going against higher tier maps.

Now they don't die easily, but I am always slightly worried when I watch their health slowly drain against a tough boss so I always keep a minion pot with me to give them that little bit of health back.

Cloak of Tawmr would work very fine, it also helps their survival. However, in this specific build I personally would recommend having a RARE chiest piece with an open Prefix roll for that catarina bench of +1 max zombie count which will vastly increase your damage output with or without Montegruls.

But then again, it's a matter of personal taste in the end.

Hello,

I'm playing SSF this league, and have come across what seems to be some of the core uniques for this build. I was somewhat interested in trying this build out, but I wasn't sure if any combination of the uniques I currently have would be make the build work (efficiently).

Here's what I've found so far (summoner-related). Keep in mind, nothing's linked, but I could probably work towards at least 5L the chest, and max socket/linking the other slots:

* Mon'Treguls Grasp
* Matua Tupuna
* Victario's Charity
* Clayshaper
* Victario's Influence
* Bones of Ullr

Thanks

Heya,

Montegruls & Victario's Charity are the big steps towards the end game version of this build which means you only need to get proper rare items after that to sustain the rest of your stuffs. The Violent Dead jewels should become available fairly soon as they are rather common :)

i have a question, beacon of corruption stack with the sword severed in sleep? or is mandatory to head to flesh binder?? thx for the answer!! :)

Hey,

Flesh Binder is optional but recommended.
Beacon of Corruption is "okeyish" but not very good, and yes it's a poison area damage cloud which stacks with the poison applied stacks from the actual attacks whilst wielding Severed in Sleep or United in Dream :)

Hey Ghazzy,

Thanks for your previous response, I actually just happened upon a Baron and Sidhebreath as well. I still don't have the Violent Dead jewels, but can the build still function decently without them?

Also regarding The Baron, is it worth trying to stack the strength to get the 1000+ bonus? If so, is there a better class suited for it other than Witch?

Last question, without Severed, is it still worth running a link setup with Added Chaos and Poison Support? I only have a 5L currently, so I'm not sure if it's worth losing some of the other gems for the poison double-dip (melee splash, etc...)

I'm thinking my endgame gear would look something like:

Helm: Baron
Neck: Sidhebreath or Rare w/ Str/Res/Life
Chest: ??? - Have Victario's, but not sure if Rare with life/res would be better
Gloves: Rare str/life/res
Boots: Bones of Ullr
Belt: Rare str/life/res
Main Hand: Mon'Treguls
Off Hand: Victario's Charity
Rings: 2x Rare str/res/life

Also found an Aurumvorax to use while leveling, which I think should take me to Mon'treguls.

Hey,

No need to thank, I do build guides, youtube & streaming because I love it, and I love this community. <3

The build is designed before Baron or the Violent Dead jewels became available, so yeah it can work without them. Sidhebreath is only a luxury amulet in my opinion though. Also, I wouldn't use the Baron unless it was for lvling, at least not personally.

Baron stacking to 1000 can be worth it if you truly invest towards it, problem is that the items making it worth bothering are so expensive and you can't compete or even come close to the clear speed of almost any other build using that much currency.

Added Chaos is never optimal for Zombies, Poison support gem should also be avoided imo. Unlike Animate Weapon Zombies doesn't hit multiple times super fast, instead they hit really really really hard but not so often. This makes them less effecient with poison unless of course it's free from the use of a Severed in Sleep and/or United in dream. But similar to the Envy Aura provided by United in Dream the Added Chaos provides a flat ammount of Chaos Damage, this works extremely well for minions that hits SUPER FAST which the zombies do not, making them scale better with the use of proper damage providing support gems over Added Chaos. Same goes for running Hatred aura over Envy.




Regarding your gear list:
Aurumvorax is the most overpowered summoner lvling weapon next to Baron in my eyes :)
Baron i'd use for lvling but I'd skip it later.
Sidhebreath is only luxury if you can sort the rest on all other gear pieces which I wouldn't recommend trying to do early on.
Rare chest with a benchcrafted extra zombie mod.
End game weapon: montegruls without a doubt



Hope it helped :)

At the point of the league where im trying new builds just to keep me busy and i have spent all night looking for a build to take me up to the end of the league, this looks fun and hopefully will keep me interested ( for the past few weeks i have levelled that many builds and gotton bored when i hit 90).

One question i do have is can i use severed in sleep as soon as i hit the lvl requirement to help speed up the levelling process (i am the type of player who ensures that my res are maxed at the start of cruel and merc).

I look forward to applying your guide to this build.

Absolutely, though it is recommended to go for the Montegruls Grasp approach, but then again both works fine imo, it usually comes down to a matter of taste. And obviously a matter of budget for some players.
