Level up your Nightmare Dungeon farming to get faster experience points, collect a huge amount of unique and legendary items, and boost your damage output through Paragon Points and the leveling of rare glyphs.
By using these tips and tricks, you’ll speed up your progression in Diablo 4, achieving greater efficiency and making the most of your gaming time.
In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about nightmare dungeons. How nightmare dungeons work, why you should do them, which nightmare dungeons are the best to farm and tips on how to approach nightmare dungeons more efficiently.
To get into nightmare dungeons, you’ll first need to get to 50, clear the capstone dungeon, and transition into World Tier 3. I recommend getting your first nightmare sigil from opening Whisper Caches.
Using a Nightmare Sigil in the consumables tab will transform a normal dungeon into a nightmare dungeon. Mob level is determined by a combination of the Sigil Tier and your current World Tier plus 50. Nightmare Sigils have Positive and Negative affixes that are worth paying attention to.
Nightmare Dungeons are essential for any Diablo 4 player because currently it is the best way to farm gear, experience points, and the only way to level glyphs.
Nightmare Dungeons have the highest mob density in the game, and the least amount of distance between groups of enemies making it the perfect way to farm anything, such as Diablo 4 Gold. The ending screen also gives 4 bonus equipment drops, 2 of which are likely to be legendary.
Nightmare Dungeons are also the only way to level up your rare glyphs for that extra damage.
Not all Nightmare Dungeons are created equal. Some dungeons have poorly designed tile sets and objectives, leading to running into dead ends and doubling back more often than other nightmare dungeons, ending up with a lower experience points per hour.
The best nightmare dungeons for efficiency are going to have the highest mob density, the least amount of traveling between groups of enemies, and the simplest dungeon objectives.
Let’s go over which nightmare dungeons are the best and why.
Starting with Sarat’s Lair.
This nightmare dungeon has zero downside. Not only is it dense, but you’re also going up against spider type enemies. When you kill spider enemies, they blow up into even more spiders, making this dungeon one of the best XP per hour farms in the game.
Sarat’s Lair is also one of the few dungeons to end with a boss that is centered somewhere on the map. After completing all of the objectives, just run to the larger sized room to finish off this nightmare dungeon.
Uldur’s Cave is recommended by most players for a reason.
You will be ambushed by mobs and elites non stop in this nightmare dungeon. Think of it as a free group of elites and mobs without the need to run to them. The different layouts are usually straightforward and easy to navigate, meaning less frustration vs some of the bottom tier maps.
Uldur’s Cave has the potential to be one of the best elite enemies farm in the game.
Mariner’s Refuge is another nightmare dungeon where the boss resides in a potentially centralized portion of the map, making it impossible to double back to find the boss.
Mariner’s Refuge has two simple objectives. The first objective is to destroy 3 structures located around the edges of the map. And the 2nd objective is just to defeat the boss.
Of course mob density is great, but the thing that makes Mariner’s Refuge shine is the circular map. Run one lap around the map, and by the time you finish the lap, you’ll also be running back to the boss.
Dead Man’s Dredge ever since the beginning of the game has been a fan favorite for leveling. The layout is a mix of both linear, meaning a straight path followed by small loops.
The first portion collecting the animus from elites will always involve some form of doubling back, but the last objective saving the prisoners won’t. Hug the wall all the way around, saving every prisoner. An elite will spawn on top of you, which will finish off the dungeon.
Immortal Emanation has both an incredibly easy layout, easy objectives, and loads of enemies.
The first objective will be to destroy 4 structures in a circle, all of which spawn elites by the way, and end with a boss fight. I would have to say this is probably one of the fastest dungeons to clear in the game, making it the perfect nightmare dungeon for glyph leveling.
My only problem with Immortal Emanation is spirit type enemies and vampire type enemies are my least favorite to go up against.
Other honorable mentions for great nightmare dungeons are: Mercy’s Reach, Komdor Temple, Charnel House, Nostrava Deepwood, Pallid Delve, and Tomb of the Saints.

Here are my top tips for any players that are looking to maximize their experience while grinding nightmare dungeons.
My number one tip for you is to take advantage of the Occultists’ Salvage and crafting system for Nightmare Sigils.
First, make sure to pick up every nightmare sigil you find, even for low tier dungeons. Next, salvage every nightmare sigil with either a bad dungeon or a bad affix. Craft more Nightmare Sigils and repeat the process until you run out of powder. Now, you should have a generous amount of sigils to spam until you run out.
For my next tip, avoid menus at all costs. If your goal is to level as fast as you can, every time you open your inventory or feel the need to hang out in town and talk to the NPCs, you’re losing valuable time. I avoid NPCs and menus by being extremely selective in what I pick up during a dungeon. If I’m leveling but I need a certain Legendary Aspect, I’ll choose to only pick up Legendary drops and nothing else.
Tip number 3 is all about speeding up your clear times. An ideal clear speed for nightmare dungeons is between 3 and 5 minutes. If your clear times are higher than 5 minutes, you have some troubleshooting to do. If your sigil tier is too high, consider running a lower tier, faster clears will always result in better xp per hour. Movement speed is really powerful for faster nightmare dungeon clears, try to always have move speed on your feet and amulet. There are even legendary aspects that can greatly increase your move speed.
In the content we have introduced about Diablo 4 Season 8, the new concept of “lair boss” has been mentioned to you more than once. No doubt, this is enough to arouse your curiosity and attention, and make you realize that this will be an important mechanism in Season 8.
Before Season 8, lair boss was called endgame boss. Although the name has changed, in essence, lair boss still refers to those dangerous bosses that appear in the endgame stage. What is really worth your attention is that the unlocking of lair boss encounters and the way to obtain loot will change greatly from Season 8. If you still use the old strategy to deal with these bosses, you are likely to lose everything in Diablo 4 Season 8.
In order to avoid this situation and allow you to welcome the arrival of the new season with the most relaxed attitude, we will introduce you in detail how to earn loot through lair boss.
Since a few seasons ago, some players have always felt that Diablo 4’s endgame difficulty and loot drop settings are not good enough. The development team has fully learned from the lessons and started relevant reforms starting from Season 8 - lair boss is one of the results.
Compared with previous endgame boss battles, lair boss battles are expected to be more difficult, more challenging, and require longer battles, and have higher situational awareness requirements. However, correspondingly, after defeating these bosses, you will be able to earn more Diablo 4 Gold and unique items with a more stable drop rate.
In addition to the difficulty upgrade and more guaranteed loot quality, the special features of this new boss mechanism are mainly reflected in two aspects:
First, unlocking the lair boss no longer requires you to collect summoning materials in advance. I believe that in the past, after entering the endgame, you always ran between various areas on the map to collect boss summoning materials. Although you were happy when you got the loot, this preparatory work was indeed a bit troublesome, not to mention that you might collect the materials but still fail to defeat the boss.
As for the second feature, it is actually closely related to the first one, that is, there are very few loot you can pick up directly after killing the boss. You must collect the corresponding lair keys to open the boss’s hoard to open more loot. This change adjusts the summoning materials to lair keys, and changes the time node for investing additional materials from before the battle to after the battle, so that the process of obtaining loot can still be challenging while avoiding material waste.
When you enter Diablo 4 endgame stage and unlock Torment difficulty, you can challenge the lair boss at any Torment difficulty level. All lair bosses are divided into 3 levels, from low to high:
It is worth noting that Belial is the final boss newly added in Season 8, while Urivar and Harbinger of Hatred are new bosses from DLC Vessel of Hatred, which means that if you want to challenge the latter two bosses in Season 8, you must have DLC.
The number and type of keys required to unlock the hoards of lair bosses of different levels are also different, as follows:
Exclusive Keys
Comparatively, the drop rate of the exclusive key of the greater lair boss will be lower. In order to balance this setting, the game allows you to obtain Stygian Stone that may drop when killing the Initiate lair boss. This item can be used to exchange for the greater lair boss key.
In addition, since the above items are set as lair boss keys, their drop rates in the corresponding channels also need to be increased to meet the needs of the system. For this reason, Diablo 4 has made the following adjustments:
Diablo 4 Season 8 has set up unique icons for lair bosses on the map to make them easier to distinguish. Once you find these marks, you can use the new teleport function to teleport directly to the boss to challenge them. In addition, to ensure that you can open hoards in time after winning, the description of each lair boss will list the type of lair key required for the boss and tell you whether you have enough keys.
It is expected that after Season 8 is officially launched, there will be more details about the lair boss mechanism waiting for you to discover, which can help you farm these bosses more efficiently. Good luck!
Since the launch of Diablo 4, the battle pass has been a major bonus system alongside season blessing and season journey, and their purpose is to reward you based on your progress in the game to keep you moving forward.
However, just like the gameplay and season content need to be updated regularly, these bonus systems also need to be updated to keep up with the times if they need to continue to cooperate smoothly with the game. Take the battle pass as example, while it has not been a bad performance so far, it would be better if it gave you more autonomy and ensured that you could explore Diablo 4 more freely.
So with Season 8 approaching, Diablo 4 has made an important announcement that the battle pass will add Reliquaries as a new built-in reward system. So what can this new system reward you with, and how can you unlock it? We will tell you one by one.
First of all, after the update, you will no longer have to unlock and obtain battle pass rewards in order as in the past, but you can choose the order in which to obtain rewards. This means that you can use the battle pass as one of your shortcuts to accumulate Diablo 4 Gold in the early stages of the new season, without having to work hard to farm because of the restrictions on the order of rewards.
As for the new Reliquaries system, it is actually a reward catalog that can be divided into two parts, namely Battle Pass Reliquaries and Event Reliquaries, of which the former is more closely related to the daily operation of the game. Battle Pass Reliquaries contain four independent Reliquaries that can provide you with different rewards. Taking Season 8 as an example, the four Battle Pass Reliquaries options provided in this season are Belial’s Return, Weapons, Beasts, and Armor.
Most Reliquaries must be exchanged for Platinum, but Belial’s Return is a non-premium Battle Pass Reliquary. Not only can it be obtained without Platinum, it can even reward you with a large amount of Platinum that can be exchanged for other Reliquaries! Weapons, beasts, and armor are premium Reliquaries, which can be redeemed by Platinum or obtained as part of the battle pass bundles.
When Season 8 is officially released on April 29, you can check your Platinum inventory at any time in the game to decide how to use it. It is worth noting that each season’s Battle Pass Reliquaries are only available during the current season, so be sure to redeem Reliquaries you want within the specified time. Any unclaimed Reliquaries rewards will disappear after Reliquaries expire.
Event Reliquaries are basically the same as Reliquaries in the battle pass in terms of function, except that its rewards are set according to special events and IP collaborations, such as Berserk crossover event that will meet you soon. This type of Reliquary is usually open for a short time, so in order to avoid missing out on rewards, you need to check its status in time.
You need to kill monsters or complete tasks in the game to earn red round tokens called Favor Tokens, which can be used to redeem Reliquary items. At the top of Reliquaries’ system menu is a progress bar that shows how close you are to getting the next Favor Token. You can hold up to 99 Favor Tokens at a time, and you must use some to get more.
Each Reliquary contains cosmetic rewards, and some Reliquaries have specific themes, and the new battle pass system no longer restricts the order in which you can get rewards, which means you can decide which types of cosmetics to get for your Diablo 4 character first. In addition, if you can use Favor Tokens to unlock all the items in a Reliquary, you will receive an additional reward. This reward item will be marked with a star icon and can be claimed without consuming Favor Tokens.
This season offers 4 Battle Pass Reliquaries: Belial’s Return, Weapons, Beasts, and Armor, each of which contains a part of Guise of the Deceiver armor set as an additional reward. And in each of the 3 premium Battle Pass Reliquaries, a non-premium weapon cosmetic is available for free.
Perhaps you will want to ask, will the old battle pass tokens be directly abolished after the release of Season 8? The good news is that they will be automatically exchanged for the new Reliquary tokens on April 28:
In addition, since unclaimed Reliquaries rewards will disappear after expiration, please check the exchange period of all Reliquaries through the countdown timer in each Reliquary in the function menu or the details pane in the upper left corner of the corresponding Reliquaries’ menu.
The above is all the information we have brought to you about the New battle pass system Reliquaries. In order to make full use of it, be sure to prepare it before Season 8 goes online! Have fun!
With more and more games, movies, and anime, crossover events between them are no longer a new thing. When crossover events first appeared, it was certain that they would benefit both works, but now there are more factors to consider in order to make crossover events successful.
As one of the classic ARPG series, Diablo has not held many crossovers in general. This may be because the popularity of Diablo 1-3 in the past was very good, and there were not many anime or movies with a similar style to Diablo series. But in 2025, Diablo 4 may have its first crossover with the classic Japanese anime Berserk!
Not long ago, Diablo 4 announced its 2025 roadmap. Although most of the content seems unremarkable, it has to be said that the news that it will crossover with two IPs is really worth your excitement. What you didn’t expect is that the first crossover object was announced so quickly! This may mean that Diablo 4 has long been planning to hold a crossover.
Generally speaking, the new content that Diablo 4 crossover event may bring mainly includes new weapons or cosmetics, or limited events that can provide both Diablo 4 Gold and limited-time rewards. However, considering that you may not know Berserk and its derivative works, we will introduce you to the overview of the crossover event between Berserk and Diablo 4, and analyze whether this crossover can be successful on this basis.
Berserk is a popular comic work created by Japanese cartoonist Kentaro Miura in 1988, with a strong dark fantasy style-although the world view is not exactly the same, this style coincides with Diablo 4. Unfortunately, the original author Kentaro Miura died in 2021, but his friend and fan writer Kouji Mori did not let this work come to an abrupt end, but instead allowed the creation of Berserk comics to continue in accordance with his friend’s wishes and creative habits.
Since its birth, in addition to the basic comic original, Berserk has also launched two animation adaptations, a trilogy of animated films, three video games, a derivative novel, and even a collectible card game based on comic content. And Diablo 4 is not the first game it has cooperated with - the crossover with Dragon’s Dogma was also a great success.
Except for the linkage with World of WarCraft, Diablo 4 rarely held crossovers with other works before (it and World of WarCraft even come from the same company), which shows that Diablo 4 has stricter requirements for crossover objects.
As a classic Japanese anime work, Berserk has a certain degree of popularity worldwide. Although it may not be as popular as Naruto or One Piece, it has its own exclusive audience, and the overall age of fans is older, which can match the fan group of Diablo 4.
The second is the specific story content of the two works. Berserk author Kentaro Miura draws inspiration from many works, and describes a series of stories with both dark and fantasy styles, with the adventure and growth of the protagonist Guts as the main line. In Diablo 4, as a player and “protagonist”, you also need to complete a series of adventures in this world starting with Sanctuary, and you will also face various powerful enemies.
In a sense, you as a Diablo 4 player and Guts as the protagonist of Berserk have certain similarities in fate, which means that when the two works hold a crossover event, you can play Diablo 4 by wearing Berserk-style armor or experiencing events that Guts may have experienced, and feel the trajectory of Guts’s fate.
Although “heat” is the main purpose of holding crossover events between various works, if they can be more closely matched in many aspects, then the crossover event is not just a tool to attract more players or fans, but a truly successful cooperation.
First of all, Berserk’s crossover targets include Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal, as did the previous crossover with World of Warcraft. In the crossover event with World of WarCraft, Diablo 4 only launched some store accessories, while Diablo Immortal hosted more in-game events, such as unique challenges and boss battles, as well as free rewards.
Although the details of this crossover with Berserk are still unclear, judging from the trailer, you should be able to get the iconic weapons and armor used by Guts in Diablo 4. In addition, considering that the 2025 roadmap does not bring any surprises, and the industry competition pressure in the first half of 2025 is not small, the crossover between Diablo 4 and Berserk is likely to be different from World of WarCraft crossover, and will bring a lot of new playable content, rather than just providing accessories.
If Diablo 4 can really do this, it will definitely break the long-standing criticism of the dullness and boredom of the game by players, at least ensure that the playability of Diablo 4 rises to a new level during the crossover event. From this point of view, this crossover is definitely likely to be a great success, otherwise it would be a waste of Berserk’s very attractive story, right?
As for the release date of the crossover event, Diablo 4 has not yet announced it, but considering that Season 8 will begin on April 29, in order to continue the heat of the new season, the start date of this crossover event is likely to be May or June 2025. Before that, Diablo 4 should announce more relevant information, so let us wait and see!
As you all know, Diablo 4 Season 8 will officially take over Season of Witchcraft on April 29, 2025. Of course, a series of new content and balance additions are naturally indispensable, but the return of an evil in S8 has still aroused heated discussions among many players, that is Belial, the Lord of Lies!
Belial’s return is the undisputed highlight of Season 8. He will lead his group of bosses to become the new Pinnacle Boss in Boss Ladder. Although this sounds quite exciting, from a plot perspective, is Belial wasted as a seasonal boss? More importantly, based on the developer’s initial setting, is it really reasonable for Belial to be stronger than other bosses in the latest season?
Here, we explore the position of Belial boss in Diablo 4 Season 8, some of his character plot and background, and whether he is wasted by the plot as a seasonal protagonist instead of appearing in future expansions.
That being said, let’s first look at Season 8, where the developers are completely revamping Boss Ladder system and introducing Belial to the top of the ladder. The arrival of the new boss not only improves the problem that the endgame that players have criticized before is too boring, but also brings players more opportunities to earn Diablo 4 Gold and Unique items, and can also better improve the main storyline.
Admittedly, it is a good thing that Diablo 4 enables more powerful characters to advance the seasonal narrative, and the stories of the previous Season 5 and 7 are very exciting and really expand the world of Sanctuary, especially Season 5, which helps advance the baseline story about Mephisto.
Still, while we have yet to see the seasonal journey and how the story will play out, I am a little skeptical whether it was a wise choice to have Belial, the Lord of Lies, one of the seven Great Evils, become the seasonal Pinnacle Boss in Season 8, or if he would be better suited for an expansion?
Firstly, the last time we saw Belial was in Act 2 of Diablo III, where he disguised himself as Emperor Hakan II of Caldeum, thoroughly manipulated the citizens, and drove the former Royal Guards out of the King’s estate.
Now, one thing we have to admit about Belial is that as Lord of Lies, he is more known for his ability to manipulate, deceive, and disguise himself than his actual physical strength and combat abilities, which makes me a little skeptical as to why Belial is considered the strongest boss encounter in Season 8.
More importantly, we can clearly see that in the boss rankings, Andariel, and especially Duriel, are actually superior in terms of actual physical threat in combat.
Belial did have two different forms in Diablo 3, a low form and a very large and intimidating form, so perhaps Belial’s return in D4S8 with a shocking form is enough for us to consider him as a formidable opponent. But overall, I still think it’s a bit puzzling that a master of deception would headline the strongest boss fight in Season 8.
Now, let’s take a quick look at Belial’s backstory. He and another Lesser Evil, Azmodan, the Lord of Sin, are considered the smartest and most cunning bosses among Lesser Evils, and Belial himself is second only to Mephisto in his ability to manipulate and deceive.
In fact, it is said that Mephisto took Belial in as an apprentice and taught him most of his knowledge, so judging by the story of Diablo 4, it makes sense that Belial would appear in some form during the main quest centered around Mephisto.
However, I feel like Belial would be narratively wasted if he were just a seasonal boss in Diablo 4, since he not only has full voice acting, but also a whole scene dedicated to him.
Perhaps we can go out on a limb and speculate that perhaps in Season 8 someone will help convince the populace that Akarat is back, even though he is actually Mephisto. Then, Belial would be disguised as his right-hand man, possibly as one of Akarat’s followers, helping to further the story of Akarat’s return and the corrupt Zakarum faith being restored to its former glory.
Of course, at some point, I’ll be skeptical of them again. Considering the story of the previous season was pretty good, hopefully Season 8 will have a wonderful narrative that allows one of the seven Great Evils to become the main villain, rather than just giving him a standalone space in the expansion.
Especially considering that Belial is one of the masterminds of Burning Hells, and he originally helped banish the three Prime Evils: Diablo, Lord of Terror, Mephisto, Lord of Hatred, and Baal, Lord of Destruction, from Hell to Sanctuary. In fact, if Belial and Azmodan hadn’t turned on each other to become the sole lord of Hell, they would have been completely defeated and become the masters of Hell.
So, what do you think of Belial’s role and setting in Season 8? Is he more suitable for the narrative as an antagonist in the full expansion? Whether Belial’s return is a wise move to fill in the plot gaps and increase gameplay or a wrong move that will lead Diablo 4 to the abyss, we will have to wait and see!
From the moment you enter Diablo 4, you enter a game world with its own characteristics. Although it is virtual, when you play a role in becoming a part of this world, you must abide by the rules of this world, just like you need to abide by the law in the real world.
Of course, Diablo 4 does not prohibit you from killing your enemies, but if you want to complete certain events, you must do it according to the guidance of the system. For example, if you want to earn Diablo 4 Gold, you need to win the battle, and if you want to craft elixirs or incense, you must find an Alchemist to proceed-each mechanism and NPC has its necessity. And this time I want to introduce you to Occultists.
Although Diablo 4 may increase or decrease the number of NPCs as the season changes, this is usually for those NPCs related to the main storyline. There is also a kind of NPC that is actually closely related to your life and battles in the game and will not be easily changed, such as Occultists.
Occultists are located in all the major towns of Sanctuary, marked on the map by a clover-like icon. If needed, you can find the nearest Occultist for help based on your location. Currently, the in-game services that Occultists can provide include:
It should be noted that since the release of DLC Vessel of Hatred, Infernal Compasses are no longer a craft-able item, but can only be dropped as a rare loot after completing the battle under Torment difficulties.
When you first enter Sanctuary in Diablo 4 Season 8 and obtain Codex of Power Aspect by completing the first dungeon, you will automatically unlock Extraction and Imprinting quest. Completing it will unlock the aspect imprinting ability of Occultists.
As you know, you can earn gear and legendary aspects in Diablo 4 through combat or other means, and the latter exist to make the former stronger - in the form of imprinted aspects. These aspects can add different benefits to your gear based on their own characteristics, such as increased damage, class abilities, or passive effects. But you can only imprint specific legendary aspects on specific gear.
When you find items with higher aspect rolls, you can recycle these items. Recycling them will unlock specific rolls of aspect values for you, and the legendary aspects and their associated power levels will be automatically stored in your Codex of Power, allowing you to apply legendary powers to the corresponding items an unlimited number of times. In addition, when a new power level is unlocked, it will directly replace the old one.
Aspects can be imprinted on other legendary items to overwrite their existing legendary aspects, or imprinted on rare items to upgrade them to legendary items (unique items cannot be modified). Although you can imprint legendary aspects on rare items, rare items will ultimately only have 2 affixes.
As you know, fighting in dungeons is one of the main gameplay of Diablo 4, and it is also the main source of your game resources and gold. The dungeons in the game include normal dungeons, as well as nightmare dungeons, The Pit of Artificers, and Infernal Hordes in the endgame.
The way to open the nightmare dungeon is to farm Nightmare Sigils to convert a normal dungeon into a nightmare dungeon. This item can be dropped by Tree of Whispers caches, world bosses, and monsters in Nightmare Dungeons, or it can be directly crafted at Occultists-prerequisite that you have completed Sigil Crafting quest.
Each Nightmare Sigil actually corresponds to a specific dungeon, and Sigils also come with Dungeon Afflictions that can customize the dungeon by affecting your or the enemy’s status and the surrounding environment, so you need to craft Nightmare Sigils according to your own abilities and needs. If you accidentally create an unwanted Nightmare Sigil, you can also convert it into Sigil Powder to craft new Sigils.
Enchanting is essentially replacing a selected affix on a rare or legendary item with a randomly generated affix. Although this feature only allows you to replace one affix at a time, the affixes can be rolled over indefinitely until you find the affix effect you want most. However, the more times you roll, the more gold you need to consume, so it is recommended that you do your best.
Although Greater Affixes can only be obtained through combat drops, the item strength of the affix regenerated through enchanting is always better than the previous one. In addition, you can view the affixes that may be generated by a specific item to get a deeper understanding of which items are worth enchanting when optimizing a specific combination.
Usually when a new season is launched, Occultists will provide new sigils or items crafting services for that season to improve the seasonal content. Since Season 8 has not yet officially launched, it is not clear what changes will be made in this regard in this season.
The above is all the information we can provide about Occultists in Diablo 4 Season 8. It has to be said that they still play a very important role in the new season, so please be sure to pay attention to them!
Do you remember what it was like to experience Spiritborn class for the first time in Diablo 4 DLC or Season 6? New classes always bring you freshness, and it is normal that Spiritborn, which is different from the old class in every aspect, will be welcomed by players.
Although Spiritborn has been weakened to a certain extent since Season 7 due to design problems, this does not mean that it has become worse, but it is just not too superior to other classes to ensure the balance of the game. So you may be curious whether those Spiritborn builds that performed well in the previous seasons can still play a role in the upcoming Season 8? Based on this, this time we will take Touch Of Death Centipede Build as an example for analysis.
The design and use of this build is based on the high continuous damage effect brought by Touch of Death, and combined with Insatiable Aspect to trigger a huge explosion in battle to form a good clearing effect. This also makes this build not only able to deal with bosses, but also easily helps you complete Diablo 4 Gold farming in various dungeons, or complete other important tasks.
As the main skill of this build, Touch of Death has been adjusted according to the needs of the build. With just a simple operation, you can make this skill release a huge range explosion of poison to the enemy, causing the enemy to be infected with a large amount of poison damage. Even after Touch of Death is upgraded, it can ignore the cooldown by consuming Vigor, which means that as long as there is enough Vigor generated, you can use this skill continuously.
On this basis, if you can combine it with the passive skill Noxious Resonance, you can make your critical hits trigger poison damage on the enemy, causing damage within the range and eliminating the poison effect, forming a perfect match with Insatiable Aspect.
Since the combination of Touch of Death, Noxious Resonance and Insatiable Aspect is very compact, the role of the rest of the build is to enhance the damage value of the main skill Touch of Death or provide you with defensive capabilities. It is not difficult to set up overall.
In addition to the main skill Touch of Death and the key passive Noxious Resonance that we have already highlighted, other skills suitable for this build include the following:
Basic
Core
Focus
Defensive
Potency
Ultimate
You can also swap Rock Splitter for Vortex, if you can solve the resource generation problem. You’ll still need to invest two points in the basic skill category, though. Another thing to remind you about Spirit Hall selection is that the best Spirit Hall combination for this build is primary-gorilla and secondary-jaguar.
In actual combat, the gorilla buff provides damage reduction and turns all your other skills into gorilla skills, further stacking the damage buff. Jaguar Spirit Hall increases your maximum Ferocity and stacks it when you kill an enemy, so that it always remains in this state.
Touch Of Death Centipede Build requires you to obtain and use many unique items for it, because this makes the build more lethal and stronger by forming good synergies with other parts of the build. Among them, Harmony of Ebewaka is indispensable for almost every Spiritborn build.
Jacinth Shell can quickly recharge your skills, but this is based on the consumption of your health. Fortunately, because of the synergy effect of the centipede skills, the rest of the build contains a lot of health regeneration and recovery capabilities, so using Jacinth Shell will not cause any substantial loss of your health.
If you also have Yen’s Blessing, its special effect will allow you to use Armored Hide, Vortex, Ravager, and Scourge at the same time in rare cases, and activate both effects at the same time, thus increasing your survivability while also increasing your damage output.
To summarize, after using Focus, Sunstained War-Crozier Unique Quarterstaff will provide a very high damage bonus to Touch of Death, and Jacinth Shell and Yen’s Blessing can effectively reduce your skill cooldowns, making it easy to maintain the damage output of the build by frequently using all skills and gear.
After crafting this build, to use it in combat, first have your character stay in Ravager mode as long as possible with the blessing of Jacinth Shell, and use Touch of Death to deal heavy damage to normal enemies, and use Scourge to deal with stronger enemies. In between using Touch of Death, it is best to use the ultimate skill The Seeker at the same time to apply multiple passive effects to deal with more damage.
In addition, Ravager can use Touch of Death to teleport you to the nearest enemy, which improves the overall mobility of the build. In fact, it is also necessary to use dodge or mount to increase the movement speed.
After our introduction, do you know how to give full play to the power of this build in Season 8? If the answer is yes, it proves that our work is valuable! Thank you for reading!
