Blood Raven's Charge

Blood Raven's Charge is an elite unique Matriarchal Bow in Diablo 2 Resurrected exclusive to Amazon characters. Named after the infamous Blood Raven boss from Act 1, this level 71 bow combines explosive arrows with necromancer-like summoning abilities.

Stats & Properties

Blood Raven's Charge provides +180-230% Enhanced Damage, 200-300% Bonus to Attack Rating, and Fires Explosive Arrows [Level 13]. It grants +2-4 to Bow and Crossbow Skills (Amazon Only) and Level 5 Revive (30 Charges). The Matriarchal Bow base has a -10 attack speed modifier, making it naturally fast.

Explosive Arrow Mechanics

The Level 13 Explosive Arrows proc on normal attacks creates significant area damage without consuming mana. Similar to Kuko Shakaku but at a higher level, this allows you to deal splash damage to grouped enemies. The explosive radius helps with crowd control and clear speed in dense areas.

Revive - Unique Summoning

Blood Raven's Charge is the only bow in the game that grants the Revive skill. This allows Amazons to raise fallen enemies as temporary minions, creating a small army to act as meat shields. The 30 charges can be recharged by vendors, giving you the ability to cosplay as Blood Raven herself with a bow-wielding necromancer playstyle.

Tactical Applications

Use Revive to raise strong enemy types like Oblivion Knights or Urdars to tank for you. The minions provide significant defensive utility, allowing you to maintain distance while your army engages enemies. This unique mechanic makes Blood Raven's Charge one of the most interesting Amazon weapons in terms of playstyle.

Best Uses & Builds

Blood Raven's Charge works well on Multiple Shot or Strafe Amazons who want additional survivability through minions. The skill bonuses improve your bow damage significantly, while the explosive arrows add area damage. Use this bow from level 71 through endgame if you enjoy the summoning playstyle.

Endgame Viability

While not as powerful as Windforce for pure damage, Blood Raven's Charge offers unique utility that some players prefer. The combination of area damage, skill bonuses, and minion support creates a safe, fun playstyle. This bow is ideal for players who want to stand out with a less common build approach.
