AndrewChicken's Raging Swarm Build

Build #439088Latest v12Apr 25, 2026

This is focused less on having extremely powerful minions, and more on having so many minions that the enemies can't stop you! Cooldown reduction lets you charge Raging Spirits faster, which is a groundbreaking realization that makes this build so much more effective!
