Death Must Die - Skadi on Wolves (Summoner Build)

Skadi Warrior Build Guide

By Floodmachine_1.

I wanted to share one of my favorite builds.

Running Wild

We need high move-speed (MS) for us and summons. We do not use Attack (DPS from summons). At the altars we focus on MS, Heal, Armor. It will help us a lot to slow down the enemies. You can use Curse of slowing and Curse of Wearing (second is more important, but both are not necessary).

Pushing to Top with Our Elbows

We use Charge dash (from Krom) for knockback enemies on our summons (more survive and dps). Especially important on Dogs, Insects, bombers. And it stuns them a little. The damage is not as important as dash radius and knockbacking (1-2 lvl)

Survive?!

The summons give us good DPS, but we need to take care of our survival. Its important to use Torso with -60% to enem. dmg (Curse of weakness). We have some freedom in choosing Gods, so below are several options for survival.

a) Justice: Reprisal, Inner Peace, Protection.
b) Winter: World Freeze, Frost Ring, Path of Frost, both frost summons.
c) Mort: Fear, Sudden Death.
d) Time: Gem High + Force, Time Field, Temporal Lord.

It’s nice to have “Heal on Kill” or Regen on gear, but it’s not necessary if you’re playing with “Justice”

Feeding the Fat Wolves

We need >200% dmg for summons from equipment.
Bonuses to MS & Summons attack speed will be great.
Krom is the only required god (due to dash), but he also has the best damage acceleration: God of War, War Pact.
As additional summons I use 1 dragon in Jewel and a Genie from a unique black lamp, gloves with parrots
Best summons from offers are: Frost Dragon, Frost Wolves, Bloody Swords. The build plays well without them.

Skiils for Kills

We need: MS, Summons brunch, Rolls, Pull area. Luck is recommended.
“Song of the North” (T7) is not necessary (it is difficult to walk with full health). You can invest 1 additional skill in “Fetch!”.
“Dedication” are also optional. Can be convert into Highlander.

I run with these variations as alternative equipment.

If you do not use Curse of Slowing -> then boots with summon MS. The choice of Winter with World Freeze also works well here. “Arabian Night” Jewel is worse than Jewel with dragon.
“Curse of Wearing “helps, but you can get by with something with high armor and healing.
Possibly a weapon with less damage, but with “X% healing on kill” will be better.

Tested God Variations:

Krom, Justice, Mort/Winter – best options.
Krom, Winter, Time – good MS and dmg. A little short of survival.
Krom, Justice, Time/Summer – a little less fun, but stable. It is advisable to have Banishes.
Krom, Time, Mort – It’s important to find good altars (although there are usually no problems with this anyway).
Other versions with Summer are weaker, but still playable.

You can also try to play without Krom and accelerate the damage with Winter (there are no other options). It’s fun, but it’s not as stable and damage problems start on bosses.

I hope you found this helpful!
