I'm seeing a lot of questions and concerns about bind demon and i thought I might share some tips on how to still use bind demon effectively with the changes with a single hard point investment.

First lets understand some mechanics:

• Now requires a base skill point investment to bind demons elite demons.
  • Level 10: Champions
  • Level 15: Uniques
  • Level 20: Super Uniques
• Soft points up to 20 still work for granting bonuses
  • Spectral hit, extra strong, extra fast, and aura at 20 soft points
  • You can swap gear to reach the breakpoints to for these bonuses when you bind a demon.
• Your demon keeps bonuses after you swap gear.
  • It wont lose aura if you drop below 20 points
• Your demon keeps bonuses from Terror Zones

With these rules in mind, we can now hunt for strong demons with the bonuses we want with just a single point investment in bind demon.

The process goes as such:

1. Decide what demon you want
   • Lancers: fast and aggressive. kinda squishy
   • Pit lord: applies curse pretty fast with their fire attack and you can try to get one form uber portals with immune everything if you want a dope tank
   • Harpy: Squishy and ranged. Applies its own curse
   • Whatever Lister is: Tanky and has a cool stun attack Unique pack mobs cant be bound with 1 point
   • Udar: Thicc boi. Big bonk.
   • Many more!
2. Equip 20+ soft points in bind demon
3. Remake new games until you get the TZ affix you want (cursed, stone skin, etc...)
4. Pop a shard for the zone your demon spawns in.
5. Bind the demon you want until it rolls an aura you want (concentration, holy freeze, fanaticism, etc.)
6. Swap back to your normal gear and enjoy. And careful not to consume your new pokemon like I do constantly.

There's definitely more nuance to this skill than what I've shared in this post, but I hope this helps people find a demon that they're looking for. Feel free to post your bind demon tips!
