Introduction to Acolyte (Updated for patch 1.0)

"A rebellious scion who disobeyed her masters and sought out forbidden magic, the Acolyte will let nothing stop her from becoming more powerful."

Acolyte Class Icon Last Epoch

The Acolyte enjoys the practice of the dark arts, calling summons and spells from beyond the physical realm. Acolytes shield themselves with the power of the undead and sacrifice the living to warp reality around them. The class can specialize into three distinct playstyles: the Lich, Necromancer and Warlock. As a Lich, the Acolyte transforms themselves into a powerful melee fighter to wreak havoc on the living. As a Necromaner, she can summon hordes of dead warriors and abominations to do her bidding. Lastly, the Warlock, where the Acolyte uses the souls of the damned to fuel her spells, channeling fire and death as a powerful caster. Whichever path you choose, the Acolyte is a versatile character able to adapt to the most difficult content and force all to bend the knee to her unsatiable will.
