How To Summon More Minions At Once In Path of Exile 2

As a seasoned veteran of the Path of Exile realm, I can confidently say that minion builds have always been my go-to strategy for surviving the treacherous landscapes of Wraeclast. The first time I started with a Witch class in PoE2 and was only able to summon a handful of minions felt like a cruel joke from Grinding Gear Games. But fear not, fellow exiles! With a bit of patience and strategic planning, you too can unleash an army of minions to do your bidding.

In Path of Exile 2, when you select a minion-based character like the Witch, initially, you’ll only be capable of conjuring a limited number of minions simultaneously. However, these minions will serve not just as combatants but also as a protective barrier against incoming damage to the player, with a focus on mass summoning.

Right from the beginning of the game, some minions might not contribute much, but strengthening them requires investing numerous passive skill points. Simultaneously, you should aim to enhance your ability to summon more minions concurrently. Here are several methods to boost that capacity, along with instructions for achieving it.

How To Summon More Minions In Path of Exile 2

The maximum number of minions you can call at a time depends on each minion’s cost and your overall Spirit level. To summon additional minions, you can boost your overall Spirit and reduce the Spirit requirement for a minion. Typically, your initial source of Spirit will come from a Scepter, which may also include a spell for summoning minions.

The spells that summon minions from your weapon operate independently of your spirit and appear automatically when the weapon is part of your active equipment. This arrangement grants you an early advantage by providing two extra minion companions, provided you consistently wield a Scepter. As you advance in the game, you’ll discover other techniques that will permanently increase the number of minions at your disposal.

Increase Total Spirit As you progress through the game, keep checking the world map to find boss icons on the map. Should they have a plus sign next to the icon, they have a chance at dropping a consumable that will permanently increase your Spirit.
Level Up Summon Skills Leveling up the actual summoning skills of minions will lower the total Spirit cost of summoning one, letting you summon more for the same total amount of Spirit.
Spirit Boosting Gear Later Scepters will start to go beyond the base 100 Spirit you find on your first one. There is also a chance that a boost in Spirit is a bonus effect on magical armor.

When you distribute your overall Spirit among various skills by choosing to activate them, having an excessive number of skills initially may leave you with abilities that you can’t effectively utilize due to insufficient Spirit distribution.

How To Manage Minion Summons In Path of Exile 2

Once you’ve completed one or more tasks listed earlier, navigate to the skills section in your inventory. Choose the summon skill you prefer for summoning additional minions and select the “Set Minion Quantity” option. Here you’ll find the cost of all available minion skills, allowing you to decide how many of each minion type you want to call forth with your current Spirit. You can modify this number freely without incurring any cost or penalty, so feel free to experiment with different combinations until you find one that suits your gaming style best.
