Dark Effigy Mechanics FAQs
Does Dark Effigy require manual application of Chaos debuffs?
Yes. The totem only targets enemies already afflicted by Chaos DoT effects. Use Poison, Wither, or Profanity to apply these debuffs before summoning.
Can projectile count be increased with support gems like Greater Multiple Projectiles?
No. Dark Effigy fires a fixed number of projectiles based on debuff count. Projectile count cannot be modified externally.
Does the totem inherit player stats or use its own?
It uses its own stats, including base damage and resistances. Totem-specific modifiers and Chaos/Spell scaling apply.
Can Dark Effigy be used with Trap, Mine, or Totem supports?
Yes. It is compatible with all summoning supports, but its targeting logic remains tied to Chaos debuff detection.
Does Withered chance from quality stack with other Wither sources?
Yes. The chance to inflict Withered from quality stacks with other sources, making it useful in Wither-based builds.
