Annihilus

Annihilus – The Unique Small Charm for Endgame Builds

Annihilus is one of the most valuable small charms in D2R, offering powerful bonuses that enhance every character. Dropped exclusively by Diablo Clone, a special boss event triggered by selling The Stone of Jordan (SoJ) rings to NPCs, this charm boosts core stats including all skills, attributes, resistances, and experience gain.

Its unique +5–10% bonus to experience gained makes it especially desirable — one of only two items in the game with this property. Since only one Annihilus can be held at a time, choosing the right roll matters for both PvM and PvP optimization.

Why Annihilus Is a Must-Have

Annihilus is more than just another charm — it’s a staple for any serious character in D2R. Its rare combination of bonuses makes it one of the most impactful inventory items in the game. Whether you're leveling faster with bonus XP, pushing endgame maps with capped resistances, or maximizing your skill power, Annihilus offers unmatched value in a single slot.

Its rarity, fixed skill bonus, and scalable stats make it a centerpiece in any optimized inventory.

  • PvP Min-Maxers: Stats and resists help hit breakpoints and caps crucial in dueling.

Final Thoughts: Annihilus is more than a charm — it’s a core part of any high-level D2R setup. Whether you’re seeking a budget option or chasing that perfect 20/20/10, grab an unidentified Annihilus and roll your fate.
