Path of Exile 2: All Lineage Support Gems Explained (Patch 0.3)

One of the most exciting additions in Path of Exile 2's The Third Edict update (patch 0.3) is the arrival of Lineage Support Gems. These unique supports shake up buildcrafting in dramatic ways, offering quirky mechanics, highly specialized modifiers, and even potential build-defining synergies. With 40 Lineage Supports currently in the game, they're quickly becoming one of the hottest topics among players testing endgame builds.

Unlike regular support gems, Lineage Supports cannot be obtained through Uncut Support Gems. Instead, most of them drop from the new Abyssal domains, which appear frequently throughout the campaign and endgame. By the time you reach maps, you'll almost certainly have collected a few. They occupy the standard +5 STR/DEX/INT requirement, but their effects are far from standard.

Some Lineage Supports echo the philosophy of Path of Exile 1's Vaal Gems-twists on familiar mechanics-while others open up entirely new approaches to combat. Below, we'll break down every Lineage Support currently available in Path of Exile 2, organized by attribute requirement.

Strength Lineage Supports (Red)

The Strength-based gems focus heavily on minions, melee attacks, and warcries. They often trade survivability or efficiency for explosive effects.

·Amanamu's Tithe: Supports Persistent Minion Skills. When supported minions die, you gain Abyssal Monster Modifiers.

·Brutus' Brain: Supported minions cannot deal or take damage-useful for interactions, but restrictive.

·Atalui's Bloodletting: Converts part of a skill's mana cost into life cost, while rewarding extra physical damage.

·Einhar's Beastrite: Steals modifiers from rare monsters killed, but cannot hit healthy enemies.

·Uruk's Smelting: Strengthens Armour Break, permanently raising physical damage taken by affected enemies.

·Paquate's Pact: Warcries inflict massive Corrupted Blood in exchange for your own life.

·Kaom's Madness: Adds more fissures to melee attacks, but with lowered damage, speed, and AoE.

·Tawhoa's Tending: Totems gain more life and explode on death for huge physical damage.

·Xoph's Pyre: Adds chaos damage to skills and makes chaos contribute to ignites.

·Uul-Netol's Embrace: Adds chaos damage and makes chaos contribute to Armour Breaking.

·Uthred's Exodus: Grants a skill with many extra levels if no other supports are linked.

·Uthred's Omen: Same as above, but requires exactly one other support.

·Uthred's Augury: Same idea, but requires exactly two other supports.

·Daresso's Passion: Greatly lowers Glory costs for Banner skills.

Dexterity Lineage Supports (Green)

Dexterity Lineage supports leaning into poisons, projectiles, speed, and crossbow mechanics. Many of these introduce unusual restrictions that enable massive upside potential.

·Arakaali's Lust: More poison stacks = more damage scaling.

·Atziri's Allure: Curses ignore the curse limit, but reflect to you.

·Ailith's Chimes: Expend Combo with skills to gain Power Charges.

·Arjun's Medal: Crossbow skills reload all ammunition on kill.

·Ratha's Assault: Ammunition skills load multiple extra bolts, but no normal reloads.

·Piety's Mercy: Hits cannot kill enemies-perfect for culling setups.

·Tul's Stillness: Similar "cannot kill" restriction with niche control use.

·Rakiata's Flow: Inverts enemy elemental resistances on hit.

·Rigwald's Ferocity: Adjusts attack speed vs. damage based on weapon set.

·Tacati's Ire: Poisons deal faster damage the higher your Rage.

·Garukhan's Resolve: Attack skills only usable after movement, with modified crit scaling.

Intelligence Lineage Supports (Blue)

The Intelligence gems cover spells, curses, minions, and projectile manipulation. Many enable wacky, high-risk setups.

·Arbiter's Ignition: Fire spells grant Flame Archons when igniting.

·Ahn's Citadel: Wall-creating skills instead make fissures, with reduced damage and AoE.

·Doedre's Undoing: Curses create hazardous zones that explode for chaos damage.

·Dialla's Desire: Raises the level and quality of supported skills, but reduces cost efficiency.

·Esh's Radiance: Adds chaos damage that contributes to shock.

·Vilenta's Propulsion: Projectile speed scales with cast speed.

·Ixchel's Torment: Triggered skills get randomized damage, AoE, and cost refunds.

·Romira's Requital: Minions take damage for you, but with reduced life.

·Sione's Temper: Projectile spells gain extra circular projectiles intermittently.

·Tecrod's Revenge: Persistent minions fight on temporarily after fatal damage, with Soul Eater.

·Kalisa's Crescendo: Curses pacify enemies near the end of their duration.

·Kurgal's Leash: Commanding minions grants Unholy Might to you and them.

·Kulemak's Dominion: Offerings also apply their effects in an AoE.

·Varashta's Blessing: Skills deal more damage per different Command Skill used.

·Zarokh's Refrain: Area spells echo twice with delays, but gain cooldowns.

Why Lineage Supports Matter

Lineage Supports represent a new tier of customization in Path of Exile 2. Much like Vaal Gems or Alternate Quality Gems in PoE1, they're not designed for every build-but the right one can fundamentally transform how a skill functions.

For example:

·Piety's Mercy enables setups. Uthred's supports let you hyper-level a skill at the cost of flexibility.

·Atziri's Allure allows "infinite curses" builds if you can handle the reflection drawback.

·Rakiata's Flow and Xoph's Pyre both open new elemental/chaos hybrid scaling opportunities.

Because these supports are farmable from Abyssal domains, players can realistically experiment with them while leveling, rather than waiting for high-end drops. Still, for those who want to shortcut the grind, you can buy POE2 Currency to trade for specific Lineage Supports or other high-demand Path of Exile 2 Items that synergize with them.

Final Thoughts

With 40 unique Lineage Supports now in play, Path of Exile 2 has added an entire new layer of complexity to gem linking and buildcrafting. They aren't always optimal, but they are creative, often rewarding clever synergies and mechanical mastery.

As PoE 2 marches toward its next content patch, expect more Lineage Supports to be discovered, theorycrafted, and integrated into the meta. Whether you're planning to break the rules with Uthred's hyper-leveling gems, blow up packs with Tawhoa's Totem explosions, or bend resistances with Rakiata's Flow, there's a Lineage Support out there that could completely redefine your endgame strategy.
