Sacrifice is a persistent buff skill. It allows you to target your undead reviving minions for skills that require a corpse to use, at the cost of increasing minion revive time.

Skill functions and interactions

Sacrifice must be usable with both weapon sets in order to be activated.

Sacrifice is a buff that allows your undead minions to be seen as corpses for the purposes of skills that interact with corpses, with the tradeoff being that it causes your minions to revive more slowly.

It can only be used on minions that have the Undead monster category and are reviving, like Skeletal Arsonists. It does not affect minions that do not fit both categories, such as Rhoa MountRhoa MountMinion, Buff, Companion, Persistent
