How to get the Ebonpiercer Unique in Diablo 4
As you might expect after reading the title of this article, the Ebonpiercer is an exclusive Unique for the Necromancer class, recently introduced in Season 4: Loot Reborn. Similar to other Uniques, the Ebonpiercer amulet can bedropped by enemies or looted from treasure chestsin the game.
Since this is a new Ancestral Unique,it will only drop when playing in World Tier 3 or 4, and you can farm it by completingLegions, Nightmare Dungeons, or defeatingWorld Bosses.
However, you’re able to also get the Ebonpiercer if youface and defeatGrigoire, the Galvanic Saint. He is one of the many endgame bosses you can find in the game and, among its loot pool, you will be able to find the Ebonpiercer if you are lucky enough. He is found inside theHall of the Penitent, in the Dry Steppes region and you will need the following materials to summon him:
Diablo 4: Ebonpiercer Unique effects and best build
Given how the Ebonpiercer provides projectile damage when using Blight — one of the Necromancer’s skills — I would strongly suggest using it with theNecromancer Blight Minions build, which so happens to be one of the best builds for Diablo 4 Season 4. Pick upBlightandBlight Corpse Explosionalong with theShadowblight Key Passive. Also, attempt to pick up theRing of the Sacrilegious Soul Unique.
That way, you will be able toshoot your Blight at enemies,boosted by the Shadowblight passive, which will also boost theBlight Corpse Explosion skill. The lattermostwill activate automatically thanks to the Unique effect of the Ring, meaning that you will end up with asea of Blightacross the map, ensuring that your enemies will get destroyed with overwhelming shadow damage. Not even the newest endgame boss,Andariel, will be able to match the might of your skill and that of your Minions.
