Some Warlock builds can turn mobility into part of their combat flow, using movement to reposition before diving back into enemies with explosive damage.
Cage of Madness is a Unique Helm that transforms your Evade into a Lunatic form that moves quickly, spawns Mini Lunatics, and ends with a large explosion.
It is designed for Warlock builds that want to combine mobility, evasive movement, and explosive Command Fallen damage during fights.

Cage of Madness Unique Power
Your Evade transforms you into an angry Lunatic for up to 15 seconds, spawning Mini Lunatics while greatly increasing your Movement Speed.
Ending the transformation causes an explosion that deals Command Fallen damage, increasing by 100% for every second spent transformed.
Command Fallen also deals up to [320%-340%] increased damage, greatly improving the overall damage potential of Fallen-based setups.
Cage of Madness Effects
Cage of Madness changes Evade into a full movement-based transformation instead of a short repositioning tool.
While transformed, you move significantly faster and periodically release Mini Lunatics that automatically rush toward nearby enemies.
The longer you stay transformed, the stronger the final explosion becomes once the form ends or is interrupted by another action.
This creates a gameplay loop where movement becomes part of your damage setup instead of just a defensive mechanic.
It also works especially well with builds that have multiple Evade charges or fast Evade recovery, since the transformation can be triggered more often.
Cage of Madness Uses
Cage of Madness is best used in Warlock builds that want movement and repositioning to play a larger role during combat.
It works well for escaping dangerous situations before rushing back into enemies with a stronger Lunatic explosion.
It also benefits builds with additional Evade charges or cooldown reduction, since the transformation becomes available more frequently during fights.
How To Get the Cage of Madness?
Cage of Madness can appear as a rare Unique from endgame loot sources, including elite enemies, dungeon rewards, and Lair Boss hoards.
Grigoire is one of the main farming targets for this item in Season 13, since it regularly appears in his Unique drop rewards.
Verdict
Cage of Madness can be both an offensive tool and an emergency escape option, letting you quickly disengage before returning with a stronger explosion.
The Mini Lunatics continue pressuring enemies while transformed, helping you stay active even while repositioning around the battlefield.
It works especially well with builds that have extra Evade charges or fast recovery, allowing the transformation to be triggered more often during fights.
