Challenge: Survive with only 1 HP and 0 Mana

Here's a challenge:

You are to create a build with the following compulsory keystones, and be able to survive (complete without dying) any low tier (T1-T5) white map with it:

- Chaos Inoculation
- Eldritch Battery
- Blood Magic

With the above ridiculous combinations, you are left with effectively 1 HP and 0 mana. Normally, this means you'll be insta-killed by any enemy, and can't use any skills due to the lack of life/mana.

Not for the faint of heart.


Some ideas:

For offense,

- Use unarmed attacks (via FaceBreaker)
- Use '-x to Total Mana Cost of Skills' stat on rings/amulets to reduce mana cost of skills to 0. (Not sure if this is possible though.)
- Use 'free' skills (eg. Death Walk skill from Bubonic Trail)
- Previously, The Hierophant ascendancy passive 'Sanctuary of Thought' can use skills for free is you have full energy shield, but this has since been removed.

For defense,

- Use Elemental Aegis (Magna Eclipsis) to absorb elemental damage.
- Use evasion and attack from afar?


Please give some suggestions.

No... I don't think I will.

Can you survive without water and food exile ?

Mmmm... No, thank you XD

Hmm, -cost to skills, you could easily survive as a summoner. Just a more boring version of HC cause you would always stay off the screen from enemies.

I think i have done this a couple times. MoM flame totems, got hit HARD in a delve side tunnel, nearly empty health and 0 mana ofc, can't flame dash anywhere, limping out into the light like a college student after a week long bong rip.

Sustained? Eh probably not something I want to set up.

seems hard but easy, here's how you do it, but this is kinda finding holes on the rules

Rule did not say :
- you cannot respect the mandatory keystone
- complete the map usually means kill the map boss only, didn't mean complete the map with 0 monster remaining.

This is what you do
You use raise spectre / raise zombie. unspec either CI or BM, summon the minions,then respec back the CI or BM then do any map mods that does not contain any speed mods.

How do you survive? Phase run, cat stealth, and get as many speed as possible you can find, no dodge or evasion needed. As long as the monster action speed is slower than yours, they can't hit you. How to do map boss? Just keep a distance away. The survivability concept is the same as deep delve builds.

yeah very wise getting close with 1 life kek

Dying when mobs fart in your general direction sure sounds fun.
