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

srs is the easiest minion in the game by a rather absurd margin.

zombies are commonly considered the weakest minion in the game outside of the guardian.

most people play zombie builds to challenge themselves or to provide a change of pace since other summoner types of their own share of inconveniences

Good news on that. Zombies and Skele's just got their damage buffed at early levels, and Zombies got a 45% increased damage at level 20.
So how do you think the new changes are going to affect this build? Seems like necro got some nerfs, but maybe they'll be offset by the damage increase of zombies? Curious what your take is on this since I was planning to run this as my league starter.

Anyone have an opinion on what is an easier build for 3.0? This or the SRS build?


SRS will still be the generally known "best" summoner build.

Changes pretty much showered this build with buffs, so it will simply work better than ever :)

So 45% damage buff will not come close to recouping the losses you would get from losing poison


basically we are gaining a 45% more and losing roughly a 300% - 500% more multi.


as for the commander of darkness nerf . it hurts aura bots almost exclusively.

if you were a normal summoner with 3-4 auras .. it does not hurt you all that much maybe a lose of 10% attack and cast speed and 20% damage. not a massive pain point.


but the loss of poison is going to hurt a lot. that being said . if you were using a build that did not use poison then you could see the 45% more zombie damage as a straight up buff

also if you were using auras for the sake of the commander of darkness damage boost .. well you dont need to do that anymore

So it that case, should I aim for Montegrul as my BiS rather than Severed in Sleep? Since poison has been nerfed? Or is there a better end-game weapon for high-budget builds?
Hey Ghazzy, what are your thoughts on using United in Dream, after they changed poison? What woud be the new BIS weapon for this build?

Hey,

It's fine tbh but Montegruls would still be better. And cheaper!

When you have a moment do you have a up to date passive tree?

came across your video but I notice in the current tree you don't EB/MoM did you forgo this all together with 3.0 changes
