How to Choose The Right Class

The first and one of the most important things you need to do is to select the suitable character class to use. Each class in Diablo Immortal is skilled in a specific playstyle to offer something different, from AoE abilities to long-range skills and even commanding undead minions.

If you have time to research the six classes, it will help you pick the best one to suit your playstyle. You can choose multiple characters on the same account to test their abilities. Diablo Immortal also features a new mechanic called Class Change which allows players to experience a new class while maintaining their previous progress. If you want to take a break from punishing evil with the Barbarian’s brute force, you can change to a Necromancer and know what it feels like to raise your army of the undead.

Crusader

Wizard

Players who adore glass cannon builds can select the Wizard. This class is a master of using magic to manipulate and eradicate foes.

However, their skill cooldowns require better management, especially for beginners/new players.

Demon Hunter

Demon Hunter Diablo Immortal

The Demon Hunter is ignited by vengeance when shooting down demonic rivals using arrows. This ranged vigilante can deliver devastating damage but is not so good on the receiving end. However, the Demon Hunter has excellent mobility to dodge danger. If you’re planning to pick this class, practice good positioning.

It’s up to you to decide the most effective means and combinations to punish the corrupt.

The journey will take adventurers to different landscapes to face evolving challenges. Over time, you can team up with other players to gather the shattered fragments of the Worldstone and stop the Lord of Terror from raising hell again.

Let’s briefly discuss some of the game components that you will regularly encounter during the game.

What is a Codex?

Codex Diablo Immortal

The Codex in Diablo Immortal is a menu that allows players to check the status of their overall progress in the game. The Codex includes tabs for:

  • Battle Pass. This tab is divided into three sections: Guides, Activities, and Quests. You will earn Battle Pass Points and various rewards by completing specific tasks.
  • Conquest. This tab is comprised of two sections: World and Player vs. Player. You will receive rewards in the form of Hilts upon completion of objectives like Combat Rating and Build Progress.
  • Achievements. The Achievements tab lists your progression in exploring different regions of the Sanctuary and generic player achievements like Equipping Legendary Items or Socketing Legendary Gems. Completing each task also merits a corresponding reward.

Item Rarity

Item Rarity Diablo Immortal

Loot drops are an essential element of Diablo Immortal. As you play the game, you’ll find various items belonging to different rarities. Item rarity describes how unique an item is. Diablo Immortal has four (4) item rarities:

    • Common Gear (White): This is the least effective item you can equip.
    • Magic Gear (Blue): The Magic Gear has one bonus attribute and may contain gem sockets.R
    • Rare Gear (Yellow): The Rare Gear comes with two bonus attributes plus one magical modifier. These yellow items are also always socketed.
    • Legendary Gear (Gold): The Legendary Gear has the highest base stats plus two or more bonus attributes. Legendary items are also socketed and contain one magical modifier.

Inventory and Unwanted Items

Apart from being an Action RPG title, Diablo Immortal will also test how good your inventory management is. As you progress through the game, you will collect lots of gear, and your inventory will be stuffed. Conduct a regular cleanup of your bag to free up space and not resort to just leaving items behind. Visit the blacksmith to break down all your unwanted items, and turn them into helpful crafting materials. Later, you can use such materials to upgrade your primary and secondary gears.

To Salvage or not to Salvage

Salvaging Diablo Immortal

Related to your inventory is the word ‘Salvage.’ This term refers to breaking down unused items and is conducted by a Blacksmith. You can unlock this function as part of your initial quest in Wortham. Unlike in previous Diablo games, you will not be required to upgrade your Blacksmith to avail of the Salvage option.

You can choose to break down Normal, Magic, Rare, and Legendary items to convert them into useful crafting materials which you can later use to upgrade your gears. However, you have to remember that salvaging is an irreversible process. Once an item is broken down, it is completely gone.

In addition, the crafting materials you will receive will depend on your item’s rarity.

  • Scrap Materials from Normal and Magic Items.
  • Enchanted Dust from Rare Items.
  • Glowing Shards from Legendary Items.

How to Play Diablo Immortal with Friends?

Many Diablo Immortal players opt to play solo, but you can also team up with friends to complete different challenges together, thanks to the game’s multiplayer aspect. Adventurers can automatically join other players after completing the tutorial. As players explore the Sanctuary, they’ll meet random players with whom they can join forces to achieve particular objectives. They can add these randoms to their friend’s list by clicking on their characters.

Players can also create or join a Clan to play with friends. It’s a large group composed of up to 100 members. Making a Clan costs 100,000 Gold.
