Path of Exile 2 Dread Banner Mechanic FAQs

1. Can Dread Banner stack with other Banner skills?

No. You can only have one Banner active at a time. Placing a new Banner will remove the previous one.

2. Does Valour persist between fights or zones?

No. Valour resets when you leave an area or log out. It must be regenerated per encounter.

3. Can Dread Banner be used in non-attack builds?

Only partially. Valour generation requires attack kills or proximity to Unique enemies. Spell-only builds may struggle to maintain uptime.

4. Does Flask charge generation scale with party size or flask type?

No. The 0.17 charges/sec is flat and applies to all flask types equally. It benefits all nearby allies within the aura.

5. Can Dread Banner be supported by aura-enhancing gems like Generosity?

Yes. Generosity will boost the aura's effect on allies but remove its benefit from the caster. Use with caution in solo play.
