Level 3 with 20% quality Bloodsoaked Banner Support Gem

Build Guide

It is designed specifically to augment banner skills by adding a powerful Physical Damage over Time component.

Primary Effect: It causes supported banner skills to inflict Corrupted Blood.

This gem has immediately created a new archetype often referred to as the Bloodsoaked Banner Champion.

• Physical DoT Scaling: Because it inflicts Corrupted Blood, players are scaling it using Champion's natural synergy with banners and physical damage.
• Efficiency: Compared to Corrupting Fever (335.4 base DoT), Bloodsoaked Banner provides a much higher base damage floor, though it requires managing Valour and the 1,000% reservation multiplier.
• Recommended Links: It is frequently paired with skills like Earthshatter or Sunder to build Valour quickly before dropping the "nuclear" banner for boss damage.

Over 40 New Exceptional Support Gems

Upon defeating the Endgame Incarnation bosses in Path of Exile: Mirage, powerful new Support Gems will begin dropping from specific Atlas Bosses. These new Support gems are categorised as Exceptional, being a significant expansion of that class of Support gem.

Exceptional Support Gems are more transformative, offering an additional way to customise your build in the late game and extending character customisation even further into a build’s life.
