Notes

  • Using Cultist Sacrifice on an NPC gives the player the full soul bounty plus 180% (280% total). The original bounty and the bonus are displayed as two separate values when activated.
    • The bonus souls from Cultist Sacrifice are secured souls.
  • The buff persists through death.
  • Cultist Sacrifice applies additional damage to Non-Player Characters. This includes Troopers, neutral entities like Denizens and Mid-Boss, as well as lane structures and team objectives such as Guardians, Walkers, Shrines, and the Patron.
  • Player-created NPCs (summons) can also be consumed for the bonus souls (with certain exceptions, see list below).
  • The bonus Bullet Resist has no effect against Walkers, the Patron, and Graves', McGinnis' and Rem's summons, since they deal Spirit Damage.
  • Cultist Sacrifice's active counts as Spirit Damage. This means it can activate on-hit spirit damage procs such as Spirit Burn.
