Raise Zombie is a spell that consumes a corpse to summon an allied zombie minion. Zombies are permanent minions with no duration that follow the user that summoned them.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Support Gems: The zombies from this skill only have one skill that they use, a Melee Strike Attack. Any support gem matching those tags will support the zombies' skill. (Behead SupportBehead SupportSupport, Melee, Attack, Strike
    Icon: H
    Level: (1-20)

    Requires Level 38Supports strike skills.Supported Skills have +(0.2-0.3) metres to Melee Strike Range
    Supported Skills deal (30-49)% more Damage with Hits and Ailments against Enemies on Low Life
    Killing Blows from Supported Strike Skills with Melee Weapons against Rare Monsters grant one of their Modifiers for 20 seconds
    20% chance to refresh Duration of granted Modifier by up to 5 seconds when you Hit a Rare or Unique Enemy with Supported Skills

    Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality:
    Supported Skills deal (1-20)% increased Damage with Hits against Enemies that are on Low Life
    This is a Support Gem. It does not grant a bonus to your character, but to skills in sockets connected to it. Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket.
    also supports the zombies' Strike, though, as zombies don't use a weapon, they don't gain the benefits Behead provides for killing with a weapon.) All Minion and ally supports will support this skill gem.
  • The Spell tag does not benefit the zombies themselves. It only impacts the user in terms of cast time, triggering, etc. Increasing Spell Damage does not improve the damage of zombies.
  • Corpse Targeting: Holding down the corpse targeting toggle (defaults to the "a" button) makes it easier to choose a corpse to raise.
  • Zombie Limit: The maximum amount of raised zombies can be increased by passive skills and unique items (see below for more information).
