MINION Hurdles & Builds — Minion Issues & Emerging Minion Builds Compared [PoE 3.25 Kalguur]

Phaze's MINION Hurdles & Builds for Path of Exile PoE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur

This is a two-part video:
The first section covers some hurdles facing minion builds
The second section covers minion builds that have emerged in recent leagues

Builds covered: BAMA, Holy Relic of Conviction, Falling Zombies Saboteur, Lightning Skeletons, and SRS. They're then compared side-by-side at the end

Topics covered: Minion Defenses, Temporary & Permanent Minions, Spectres & Animate Guardian (AG), Predator, Minion Collision, Trigger Weapons / Offering / Desecrate, and Targetable Minions

This video is focused primarily on Hardcore PoE and Temporary minions
Build Ratings would be different in Softcore, especially Holy Relic which is better in Softcore than it is in Hardcore
