Core Skills and Leveling Strategy

During the early campaign, you'll start with Path of Exile 2 Currency Explosive Grenade and Explosive Shot, which form the foundation of the build. As you progress, the playstyle becomes more automated once key skills unlock.

Key Skill Unlocks

Mirage Archer - Requires an Uncut Skill Gem (Level 8)
Mortar Cannon - Requires an Uncut Skill Gem (Level 11)

Both are fully online by Level 40. With Patch 0.4, Mirage Archer gains a 10-second cooldown, but you can have multiple active at once-perfect for sustained grenade spam.
