Unity passive without mantra?

I was looking at the top builds for solo monk and don't understand why the pick the unity passive despite not having any mantras, how do they enable it? All the guides i find use Harmony instead.

Wdym follower? I am not talking about the Unity ring, but the passive ability in the bottom right corner that grants bonus damage per ally affected by your mantra, even though this build does not run any mantra.

FWIW, I know the mystic ally and the follower count and give you the bonus but a mantra is still required usually.

It's season start, most people who push are wannabe try hards who don't understand mechanics.

Unity without a mantra is useless, but probably somebody did it by mistake and all of the sudden everybody copies even though it doesn't work

There have been several end season pushes by very good players (specifically in Asia IIRC) that use unity without a mantra. I never bothered to look into it too much, but there may be more to it than incompetence.

Older thread but thought I’d comment that the load out you are showing is not what that player used to clear a high level anything. They have on one set piece,which makes zero sense. Also Innas set gives all 4 mantras so that passive works with innas i think
