Both of them fully upgraded.

Kill them all.

Other Jewels:

Fifth flask is free to choose.

Our Skeleton Archers do all the work and they are most efficient for up to 4 seconds after summoned. The summoning takes around 0.30s which feels great and definitely not burdening your gameplay. With the Fresh Meat support, the Skeletons have become really viable and comfortable to play with. Since this build is crit-based, the Fresh Meat support fits even better.

Leveling:

Mapping:

Weapon: On average, a rare wand with +1 All OR Minion Skills, 75%+ minion dmg, 75%+ minion crit can be around 1-5 divines depending on the rolls. Unfortunately these wands may scale prices really high if you want better modifiers;

Shield: Same as weapon - can go from 1d to 3d for something useful. Way more expensive if you want something special;

Body Armour: Very cheap in this league. Easily found at a price less than 20c;

Belt: Around 50c for one with a useful corruption;

Boots, gloves and helm: between 2d and 7d for each piece. Make sure you have +2 to all Minion skill gems on the helmet;

Amulet: Around 1d to 3d for one like mine;

Rings: Should be between 3d and 7d for each. Try to find ones with increased minion damage and increased minion attack speed (Bone base). A Gloam ring with same stats as the Bone ring should be approximately twice as much in price.

Jewels:

-A good-rolled Fortress Covenant is around 3~5d. You can find one for 1d with just any roll;

-Grand Spectrums are generally 1d. Can be a bit more if you search for ones with a useful implicit;

-Forbidden Jewels: Not mandatory, but the ones I am using for Bastion of elements are approximately 5d each.

-Abyss jewel: Depends on the stats but I got mine for 3d.

-The Large cluster jewels are around 3~4 divine orbs each. The Medium cluster jewel is around 1d.

Skill and Support Gems: On average, all gems (if not awakened and not 21/20) should be around 3d~5d. Min-maxing the gems is very effective - I recommend getting a 21/20 Summon Skeletons of Archers and Awakened Brutality + Awakened Vicious Projectiles, as well as Awakened Minion damage.
Maximizing the gem efficiency will be approximately 40 additional divines;

Tattoos: Unfortunately, the Valako Shieldbearer tattoo is 2d each and you'd probably need at least 5 to cap your block;

Grafts: Very useful grafts would be around 3~5d each.

OVERALL AVERAGE OPTIMAL BUDGET: between 20 and 150 divine orbs.

Good:
-Relatively simple gameplay;
-Really good clear speed;
-Really good single target damage;
-Maps with Reflect don't matter;
-Maps with no regen don't matter;
-Unique.

Bad:

-Can get very expensive if you seek to maximize the performance.

- a DoT variation of the build: https://pobb.in/zbwdVgYhs5hM;

-Getting a Perfect forest tiger as one of your spectres can be useful but its efficiency will be reduced due to the Skeletons being resummoned and not being able to keep the tiger's frenzy charges. But the haste aura is ok to have;

- instead of investing into expensive tattoos, you can get the Watcher's eye with additional block chance.
