Raise Zombie is a spell that summons an allied zombie minion.

Skill functions and interactions

• Support Gems: Any support gem that would work on a melee attack will be used by the player's zombies' attacks when linked to this gem. In addition to their melee attacks, zombies occasionally use an area of effect slam attack which can be scaled with support gems, area of effect passive skills, and the threshold jewel.

• Corpse Targeting: Holding down the corpse targeting toggle (defaults to the "a" button) makes it easier to choose a corpse to raise.

• Zombie Limit: The maximum amount of raised zombies can be increased by passive skills and unique items (see below for more information).
