Immortal Call
For the Vaal-themed counterpart, see Vaal Immortal Call.
Immortal Call is a guard spell that consumes up to 5 endurance charges when used to apply a buff that lessens the physical and elemental damage taken by the player for a short duration. The duration and less physical damage taken improves with the number of endurance charges consumed.
Skill functions and interactions
Guard: Immortal Call shares cooldown with other Guard skills (Arcane Cloak, Steelskin, Molten Shell, Vaal Molten Shell, Bone Armour). However, according to gem text wording, Vaal Immortal Call is an exception. Vaal Immortal Call is drop disabled and does not receive rework yet.
Duration: Modifiers to Skill Duration will increase the duration of the skill, as will buff/debuff duration modifiers. Consuming more endurance charges with the skill will also drastically increase duration.
Increased buff duration per endurance charge: Any other buffs that are applied when casting Immortal Call will also gain increased duration per endurance charge, including support gems that grant buffs. This mainly applies to Arcane Surge Support.
If immortal call is socketed into a weapon slot, the effect will end on weapon swap.
The less physical damage taken per endurance charged removed skill modifier is multiplicative with the innate less physical damage taken skill modifier.
For example, Level 1 Immortal Call with 5 endurance charges will give you a total of 81.25% less physical damage taken, not 100%.

Now causes you to take 25% less elemental damage and 25% less physical damage at gem level 1, with the values growing based on the gem level, up to 34% less elemental damage and 35% less physical damage at gem level 20. Now consumes endurance charges up to a maximum of 5, causing you to take 15% less physical damage per endurance charge consumed for the buff's duration.
