How to get and use Axial Conduit in Diablo 4

The new Diablo 4 Season 5, Season of the Infernal Hordes added a handful of new Legendary and Unique Items, including the all-new Axial Conduit Unique Pants item. As a Unique Item, powerful builds can be utilized to enhance Axial Conduit and make it a truly powerful piece of equipment. Here is how to get and use Axial Conduit in Diablo 4 Season 5.

How to get the Axial Conduit Unique Pants

The best way to get Axial Conduit in Diablo 4 Season 5 is to target farm the Uber Boss Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint. Grigoire specifically has a higher drop rate for the Axial Conduit Unique Pants, allowing you to farm him for the fastest opportunity to get Axial Conduit to drop.

You can find Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint in the Hall of the Pentient, a Level 75 dungeon in the Dry Steppes. The fastest way to get to the Hall of the Pentient is to teleport to the Ked Bardu waypoint and head south.

In order to summon Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint to target farm the Axial Conduit, you will need the following materials:

Normal Grigoire

• 5 Living Steel (World Tier 4)
• 2 Living Steel (World Tier 3)

Torment Grigoire

• 15 Living Steel (World Tier 4)
• 1 Stygian Stone

Upon defeating Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint, he will have a chance of dropping the Axial Conduit Unique Pants.

If you don’t want to farm Grigoire, even though that’s the fastest way to get the Axial Conduit, you can also unlock the new Infernal Horde seasonal mechanic by completing The Eyes of the Enemy, a World Tier quest. Doing so will grant you the Infernal Compass which unlocks the Infernal Horde for you. This seasonal mechanic has increased drop rates for the new Unique Items added in Season 5 including the Axial Conduit.

How to make use of the Axial Conduit Unique Pants

The Unique Effect for the Axial Conduit pants makes it so Chain Lightning alternates between orbiting you and seeking up to 3 enemies. When it returns, it drains 6 Mana from you for each active Chain Lightning. After draining 66 total Mana, the bolt explodes for 150%-600% Lightning Damage. Chain Lightning expires if you don’t have enough Mana for it to drain.

This effect completely changes the way you play a Chain Lightning Sorcerer build, and greatly expands on your multi-target capabilities. However, for single-target bosses, it can quickly drain your Mana, making it a tough build to sustain.

As such, it’s recommended that you get some Lucky on Hit Mana on your gear to increase the overall sustain you’ll have to upkeep the Axial Conduit Unique Effect.
