Unholy Might
Unholy Might is a Buff that grants 30% of all applicable damage as extra Chaos Damage. It creates an additional Chaos portion and does not remove or convert the original damage.0.5.4d

What Unholy Might does
Current rulesFor a Hit with 100 base Physical Damage and 50 base Fire Damage, ordinary Unholy Might adds 45 base Chaos Damage. Before later modifiers, the Hit has 100 Physical, 50 Fire, and 45 Chaos. This is Gain as Extra damage, not 30% More total damage, and Damage over Time does not gain an extra Chaos portion.
- The base Buff grants 30% as extra Chaos
- Unholy Might uses all applicable base Hit damage as its source. Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning, and existing Chaos portions can contribute because the Buff says all damage rather than naming one source type.
- The original damage remains
- Gain as Extra creates another damage portion. It does not replace the Physical, Elemental, or Chaos damage used to calculate that portion. Regular Damage Conversion is the mechanic that replaces source damage.
- This is not a 30% More multiplier
- The extra portion is calculated from applicable base damage before increased and more damage modifiers. Because the new portion has the Chaos type and can face different scaling and resistance, the final damage increase is not always 30%.
- The gained portion scales as Chaos
- The extra portion benefits from modifiers that apply to Chaos Damage and other matching scopes. It does not retain source-only Physical, Fire, Cold, or Lightning scaling merely because one of those types supplied its base value.
- Damage over Time does not benefit
- Damage Gain applies to Hit damage. An existing Bleeding, Ignite, Poison, or other Damage over Time effect does not independently gain 30% of its damage as extra Chaos Damage.
- The Buff owner deals the extra damage
- Unholy Might on the player affects the player's applicable Hits. Unholy Might on a Minion affects that Minion's applicable Hits. Granting it to one recipient does not transfer that recipient's damage bonus to another character or Minion.
- Copies of Unholy Might do not add together
- Multiple sources provide the same named Buff rather than separate extra-Chaos packages. Buffs of the same type do not normally stack; the strongest applicable Unholy Might effect is used.
- Magnitude changes the 30% value
- Blackened Heart grants 4% increased Magnitude of Unholy Might Buffs you grant per 100 maximum Mana. At exactly 1,000 maximum Mana, that is 40% increased Magnitude, so a 30% Unholy Might Buff you grant becomes 42%.
- Continuous and timed sources end differently
- Vis Mortis grants Minions continuous Unholy Might while the item applies. Necromantic Conduit maintains it only while its Mana and Presence conditions are true. Kurgal's Leash creates a timed 15-second Buff when its Command condition occurs.
Current Unholy Might sources
5 casesKurgal's Leash
When you Command a Minion from the supported Skill, you gain Unholy Might for 15 seconds and Minions from that supported Skill gain it for 15 seconds when Commanded. The support does not grant it to unrelated Minions.

While the Lich is above the Low Mana threshold, the Lich and Allies in the Lich's Presence have Unholy Might. The passive also loses 5% of maximum Mana per second, so reaching 35% Mana or lower turns off the condition by default.
Related: Low Mana, Allies, Presence, Necromantic Conduit, LichBlackened Heart
This Lich passive increases the Magnitude of Unholy Might Buffs you grant by 4% per 100 maximum Mana. It scales the Buff value rather than adding four percentage points to the 30% value for each 100 Mana.

7 rules- Unholy Might is Gain as Extra Chaos Damage, not regular Damage Conversion.
- The Buff does not independently add Chaos Damage to Damage over Time.
- Source-only damage modifiers do not scale the gained Chaos portion unless they also match another applicable scope.
- Unholy Might on a Minion does not grant Unholy Might to the player.
- Kurgal's Leash applies only to its supported Commandable Minion Skill and its named recipients.
- Necromantic Conduit stops applying to the Lich at Low Mana and to Allies outside the Lich's Presence.
- Multiple ordinary copies of the same named Buff do not add their 30% values together.

A Buff is a beneficial effect applied to a player, Minion, monster, or other target for a duration or while a condition remains true. Buff Magnitude comes from the creator, while Buff Effect usually comes from the affected target.
mechanicGainGain is wording used by several different mechanics. On a damage line, gaining damage as extra creates an additional amount of the named output damage without removing the original damage.
mechanicChaosChaos is one of the five damage types. Chaos Resistance reduces it, and ordinary Chaos damage removes twice its damage value from Energy Shield instead of bypassing Energy Shield by default.
mechanicPhysicalPhysical damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is the most common and the only one reduced by Armour, rather than by a Resistance.
mechanicDamageDamage is classified on three independent axes: source, delivery, and type. A component can come from an Attack, Spell, Thorns, or another source; deal a Hit or damage over time; and deal Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning, or Chaos damage.
mechanicHitA Hit is an instantaneous damage event. Any damage that is not damage over time is Hit damage, whether it comes from an Attack, a Spell, Thorns, or another effect.
mechanicMinionMinions are summoned Allies with their own offensive and defensive stats. Player modifiers do not apply to them unless the modifier explicitly affects Minions or Allies, and the player does not count as their own Ally.
mechanicCommandCommand Skills let the player order a permanent Minion to perform a specific action. The player issues the command, but the corresponding Minion performs the commanded Skill.
mechanicDurationDuration is the length of time a skill component, Buff, Debuff, Ailment, Curse, Mark, Minion, Totem, Flask effect, Charm effect, Hazard, or delayed event remains active. Each duration modifier applies only to the effect type it names.
mechanicLow ManaA player is on Low Mana while current Mana is 35% of maximum Mana or lower. Exactly 35% counts as Low Mana. Not being on Low Mana begins above 35%, while High Mana does not begin until 65%.
mechanicAlliesAn Ally is another player, Minion, Totem, or other entity on your side that has its own stats. Your character is not their own Ally, so wording that affects only Allies does not affect you unless it separately says you.
mechanicPresencePresence is the area around your character used by effects that explicitly refer to allies, enemies, corpses, or other targets in your Presence. Its default radius is 4 metres.
mechanicMagnitudeMagnitude is the numeric strength of a Buff or Debuff. It changes the values that effect applies, such as damage per second, a Slow percentage, increased damage taken, or Ignite chance.
