League Starter Playstyle

The Infernalist league starter is a hybrid between minion tanking and Path of Exile 2 Currency Chaos/Lightning spell dominance.

Early Game Rotation:

Cast Contagion → Unearth for corpses → Summon Skeleton Warriors to act as a frontline.
This loop clears maps efficiently while keeping you safe.

Midgame (Essence Drain Unlocked):

Use Essence Drain for sustained boss damage.
Keep Contagion running to spread chaos damage.

Late Game (Lightning Warp Online):

Apply Essence Drain, then Warp into enemies/projectiles with Lightning Warp for huge AoE bursts.
Use Skeleton Warriors situationally as distractions while you rain down lightning explosions.

The transition from Chaos DoTs into Lightning burst damage creates a build that feels smooth from Act 1 to maps and truly shines in endgame Demon Form gameplay.

The Lightning Demon Form Infernalist is one of the flashiest and most effective league starters in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.3.0. With incredible clear speed, smooth progression, and high mobility, this build feels both satisfying and competitive.
