Quick Rundown
This is very much an experimental build and will probably be edited by me many times as I continue testing it. Now, there's always gonna be a counter to your team somewhere and as I continue to play with it I'll try to alleviate that. But dare I say boys, this may be one of the most overpowered builds you'll come across.
This build prioritizes Health above all else. We'll be taking advantage of many traits to pump this as much as possible, while making our other stats scale off of it too. Our main sources of damage are pure Attacks, the Trait Woe: "After this creature dies, enemies take damage equal to 50% of it's maximum health" in combination with the Trait Cannibalistic Tendencies: "After your creatures Provoke, they are killed, and your other creatures gain 20% of their Attack, Intelligence, Defense, and Speed. This trait does not stack."
We use the Bloodmage Perk Bloodrage to scale our damage off our health.
We use Goddess Regalis' Trait Brothel: "At the start of battle, your creatures that belong to this creature's class share their innate traits with each other. This trait does not stack." This is the most important component of the build.
For extended fights like Nether Bosses or God fights, we can utilize Bloodmage perks and our Provokes to boost our creature's stats even higher.
Dark Ritual is ironically our resurrecting spell (ew, a spell), while also providing even more stat gain, Gift of Scylla boosts that even further.
Finally, we utilize a couple Phoenix traits and a Bile Slime for more resurrecting.
Using this guide to it's fullest (that means scrolls, personality, artifact), at level 100 your creatures will have 3-4 million health and 300-700k in every other stat and start battles with 3-6 buffs EACH..... while also never switching Realm Instability 5 off, because we're based.
If this type of playstyle (and those insane stats) sound intriguing to you, read on or go back to casting spells like the stinky mage you are!
Class - Bloodmage, It's Bloodmage
While there are a few classes that stand out, this build is viable on any class you prefer!
I settled on Bloodmage but you might find more utility out of classes like Purgatorian or Paladin, depending on your playstyle.
However from testing it was found that Bloodmage offers the most damage and overall benefit for this particular build, so that's what we're going with.

Summary
If you see empty spaces for artifacts slots, relics and spell gems, well that's intentional! Those slots are up to you to fill how you see fit.
This is a very new build for me, so at the moment everything listed in this guide is all that it requires and it's still insane. I just wanted to get the build out there so other people could try it and improve upon it even further.
I'd also very much like to thank:
- LuckyDucky for the initial idea and theorycraft discussion. Wouldn't have made this guide without you noticing how strong Diabolic Hordes could be.
- archayts for theorycraft discussion and experimenting.
Thanks for reading!
