Maximize the effectiveness of the Frogmancer build in Path of Exile 2 by optimizing gem levels and crafting items to boost Gem parent levels and Frog Limits. This guide explains the mechanics, crafting process, and gameplay strategies to master this build.
Understanding Doedre's Undoing and Witchtoads
Doedre's Undoing is the core element of the Frogmancer build, transforming curses into ground effects that summon Witchtoads. By default, Witchtoads explode upon jumping on cursed enemies, causing chaos damage. Scaling the build involves two main factors: the gem level of the parent curse and the Limit increases for Witchtoads. Enhancing these elements is the key to boosting effectiveness.
