Lich Overview for Last Epoch (Patch 1.0)

"An acolyte who has embraced the corruptive nature of their power and uses the magic of blood and death even at the expense of their own Health. Stealing life, consuming the essence of the dead and the damned for strength. This power will make her invincible."

The Lich is one of three Mastery classes that can be chosen from the base class of Acolyte. This seeker of the dark arts uses blood and necrotic magic to damage her enemies, absorbing their souls to fuel her prowess on the battlefield. She is so in tune with the darkness that she can transform herself into a Reaper and harvest her enemies' souls.

Gain access to the best Lich builds below!

Upon unlocking the Lich Mastery, you'll gain access to your Mastery-specific skill,  Reaper Form. While  Drain Life and  Aura Of Decay are not specific to the Lich, the Mastery Tree itself comes with three skills that are unlocked by placing a certain amount of points into the Tree itself. All three Acolyte Masteries can use two of the four skills as long as they put enough points into the tree to unlock them. Only the  Reaper Form and  Death Seal skills are reserved solely for the Lich.

Description	Take on the mantle of death itself and transform into a Reaper, temporarily gaining the Reap ability. While in Reaper Form, your Health Regen does not apply and your Health decays over time. When your Health reaches 0, instead of dying, you transform back to human form and are healed to full Health.
