In Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) minions, like the Skeletal Arsonist, have special abilities that allow them to detonate other minions and cause area-of-effect damage to enemies. To direct and command your minions to perform actions, follow these steps.
Directing Minions
The default button on keyboard to command a minion is the tilde key “~”
Assign the Command Skill:
Open your skill menu and locate the command skill associated with your minion's special ability.
Drag this command skill to your action bar to assign it to a specific key or button.
Use the Command in Combat:
During battles, press the key or button you assigned to activate the command skill.
Your minions will execute the commanded action (e.g. detonating other minions to inflict damage on nearby enemies).
And that’s it! Best of luck.
