Read on, and pretty soon the horrors of the great beyond will be at your beck and call.

Get started by Specializing in the following Skills and Passives.

Bone Curse

Bone Curseis a reliable long-term Skill that gives an enemy a curse for 8 seconds.

An Acolyte leers menacingly on the Last Epoch character select screen.

Hit the enemy when the curse is active, and watch them suffer the consequences.

Death Seal

Death Sealis a Skill for those who like to gamble on death’s door.

It seals your Acolyte’s health, preventing it from going above its current value for five precious seconds.

During that time, you might deal damage equal to your missing health and take less damage.

This Skill can also be used to shoot off a wave of death dealing damage all at once.

Harvest

Welcome to your main method of attack; this is theHarvestLich build after all!

An Acolyte shows off their Grim Reaper form in Last Epoch.

Aren’t you glad you took Bone Curse?

To continue building upon this Skill’s synergy with Bone Curse, max outSymbol of Lossnext.

Of course, there’s a trade-off, and your health will decay over time.

An Acolyte summons skeletal mages to dispatch their enemies in Last Epoch.

Once you hit 0, you’re back to normal human form.

Since Transplant uses health instead of mana, it’s an appropriate inclusion for the Lich build.

This is a vitally important Skill to ensure that your skeletal goons stay in the fight.

An Acolyte unleashes a fissure of disease and whirling spirits all around them in Last Epoch.

Fleeting FormandAcolyte’s Fervorare vital for increased cast and cooldown recovery speed.

Summon Skeletal Mage

As you might have guessed,Summon Skeletal Mageis the cornerstone of this build.

Would you rather have two skeletons with decent abilities, or one really big skeleton with beefier stats?

That’s the question to consider as you choose your nodes.

The spirits deal Torment, a curse that slows and causes necrotic damage over time.

Spirit Plague

Specialise inSpirit Plaguefor your own damage over time effect.

This means putting points intoPleague Bearer,Rotten to the Core,Concentrated RotandExsanguination.

As with the other builds in this guide,Transplantwill be your movement go-to.

Need to get into an advantageous position to rip fire up the ground with Chthonic Fissure?

Hoping to target a slippery enemy with Spirit Plague?

Use Transplant, and be there in an instant.

Wandering Spirits

Wandering Spiritsis perhaps my favourite Skill out of this build.
