Correct. Yes, really, it`s him, it`s the Scorpion! Our beloved old friend shortleg (perhaps ;-) )!
The League of Scorpions is confirmed! It`s Sting-Time!


Our Herald of Agony and Chaos, our Poison-crawler, stings them all back.


Also the [3.27] Hiveborns'- Twitch-drop shows the arachnophilic league-theme. A spider companies our scorpion, the dream-team is united.

Breaching | High density

With our Aegis Aurora all high density-poe-mechanics like Breaches heals us infinitive nonstop in battle 1k-5k es on block. 75% block and spellblock are easy stacked (fullblock on tree and clusters or with keystone Glancing blows).


Our cyclone-movement-mainskill fits perfect for uninterrupted 100% damage-uptime in breach-runs with perfect quality of life of smooth 1-button movement+damage united.

Almost each league I farmed juiced breaches and did breach-stones-runs for the high exp.
It's a one of the most fun mechanics and also full juiced in the Allstars's-gear trivial easy, so I hope breaches will turn more challenging and rewarding joy.

Awakened fork multiplies HoA's basic 5 projectiles x7 to oneshoot 35 targets. B.i.s. in open designed maps, breaches and for harbingers.
Can be further linked with awakened gmp/pierce/chain/returning to up to 70->110->180->360 projectiles, 4x to 7x times each second oneshotting the Breach.

Returning Projectiles combinated with pierce covers 2 screens also in the HoA's backside in breaches, ravaged blights, delve and 5-ways or is combinated with Sniper's Mark to hit bosses twice after piercing or splitting.

Maxed AoE can be easy plugged in with AG's Asenaths Gentle Touch or as Occu or as Necro with forbidden flame and flesh Profane Bloom.


Chayula | CI

We have stacked already nice 180% increased energyshield, so the Allstars activate with 1 passive 100% chaos-immunity CI again (as by default from [3.13] to [3.24]) against Chayula (teasered purple in the Keeper of Flames 3.27-logo).

Staying Hybrid Life+Es, when new Secrets- / Breaches-Ubers are introduced, is full perfect too with our 95 % flat dr, 75% capped chaos-resis and our Arakaali-pantheon.
Chayula was always already early trivial because we evade and block his harmless skills.

Our key-unique bodyarmour Skin of the Lords / Skin of the Loyals drops in Chayula's flawless breaches, so it will become one of the typical league-uniques.


Spectres forever

The new reviving Spectres will throw some charges, auras and curses in again.

Of course the whole build works without spectres too, and we can focus simply on the immortal HoA when wanted.

Hi,

first of all thanks for the guide, i did well this league with my Hoa Guardian.

Now with possible ES nervs for 3.27 in mind and Mercenaries will not go core, maybe its better to go Life or a hybride Version.

Can you tell me how you would deal with the self poison without Ci?

my first thoughts where 2 hunter items and that jewel which gives unafected by posion when you wear 2 hunter items. What do you think?

Thank you Rustomer!

Simply the elevated prefix "unaffected by poison" on hunter influenced boots is far the best in lategame.

Because 4w triad grips and Eldritch rare helmet, also shield, belt, bodyarmour are too strong, the jewel is not optimal in lategame.





Before while leveling the cheap helmet "maw of the conquest" has the same mod.

In early game the jewel "bound by destiny" with wearing 2 hunter-items is possible too when it's cheap. In lategame the lost jewelslot is much more worse as the taken boots-prefix.

Yes, I also recommend Hybrid life+es in high & juiced content. CI can be fast plugged in, but Hybrid is in much content, t17 and against dot and Ubers tankier.

Hybrid is already chosen in the tanky pob and guided in spoilers like "Tipps for beginning", "To CI or to Hybrid?", "Elegant Hybris: Supreme Decadence", "Craftings", "The Ubers" etc.

Let's wait for the patchnotes.

Ordinary the Skin of the Lords reaches almost the range of tankyness of 1-3 mirrors priced rare bodyarmours, but there are a lot of variations possible to balance out of es when needed.
Overall the build balances much into stacked 90-95% flat damagereductions and overstacked multiple sources of recovery, and bathed tanky in the 25% more damage taken Mercenary-group-debuff, so an es-nerf should be no problem as Hybrid.

Or alternatively we will buff the new surviving support-spectres more tanky for more tanky auras and more HoA-frenzy charges. Often also the new league-mechanic frees up capacity of 10-20 flexible useable passives.
