Summoning skeletons in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) is a great way to boost your damage and clear enemies. Here’s a simple guide to help you summon more skeletons and manage your resources.

Step 1: Spirit is Key

• What is Spirit?
  Spirit is a special resource used for summoning skeletons.

  • You can find your Spirit indicator by hovering over the Mana ball in the game.

  • Each skeleton you summon consumes a set amount of Spirit.

• Spirit limits how many skeletons you can summon, so increasing it is key to boosting your summoning power.

Step 2: Increase Your Spirit

To summon more skeletons you need to increase your Spirit capacity. Here’s how:

1. Gear Bonuses:

   • Some items, like scepters, can provide extra Spirit. Check your gear for bonuses and upgrade as needed.

2. Complete Spirit-Boosting Quests:

   • Some quests reward you with permanent Spirit increases. For example:

     • Fright Torn Mission: This quest involves activating three altars and defeating the King in the midsts. Completing it will give you an item that passively increases your Spirit.

3. Other Sources:

   • Look for passive skills or items that boost Spirit as you progress in the game.

Step 3: Summon and Manage Skeletons

• How to Summon Skeletons:

  1. Assign skeleton summoning to a key (default is G).

  2. Press the key to bring up the summoning menu.

• Choose Your Skeleton Types:

  • Use the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons next to the skeleton type to adjust how many of each type you want to summon.

  • Each type uses a different amount of Spirit, so balance them carefully.

Step 4: Tips for Skeleton Builds

1. Continuous Summoning:

   • Some classes, like the Witch, can automatically summon skeletons over time. This helps maintain a steady army.

2. Focus on Upgrades:

   • As you progress, prioritize gear and skills that improve your skeletons’ damage, survivability, and the number you can summon.

3. Practice Management:

   • Watch your Spirit usage to avoid running out mid-fight.

   • Use potions or skills that regenerate Spirit if needed.

By increasing your Spirit and learning how to manage your summons, you’ll be able to summon more skeletons and clear enemies with ease. Keep experimenting to find the perfect skeleton build!
