Additional Information About Blood Orb

Blood Orbs are beneficial for Necromancers who want to increase their own or their minions’ durability, as they can restore Health to both with the right skills or aspects. They are a flexible mechanic that can have a significant impact in a battle. However, Blood Orbs are not generated by default, only through the use of specific skills or the Aspect of the Embalmer.

Additionally, the legendary Blood Begets Blood Paragon Board Node, and the Blood-drinker Rare Glyph can help with enhancing Blood Orbs as well.
