Choosing the Diablo Immortal Crusader class is easily one of the best decisions you can make at the start of your dungeon crawling journey. And while the Diablo Immortal class is good enough on its own, there are certainly things you can do to make your character as strong as possible. Therefore, if you’re on the lookout for the best Diablo Immortal Crusader build, you’re in the right place so keep on reading below.

One of the main reasons why the Diablo Immortal Crusader class stands out so much is due to the combination of AoE attacks and stuns, meaning that they are able to consistently control the flow of fights and stay on top at all times. Furthermore, their comparatively larger health pool aids in this dominance, as your best asset at all times is staying alive.

There are really two ways that you can direct your Diablo Immortal Crusader build, and it all depends on your playing situation. If you find yourself playing with a party often, then there are certain Crusader skills which highly benefit that style. However, if you’re the nomadic type then you are largely going to want to avoid skills that revolve around team buffs and focus more on those that allow you to dictate fights yourself.

For the purposes of covering all the bases, we will give you both solo and team focused Diablo Immortal Crusader build skills below.

Moreover, combining skills like Holy Banner and Conjuration of Light allows your team to go full out attack to clear that final hurdle of a tough boss fight.

Although there are certain ways you can further maximise your playstyle, the Diablo Immortal Crusader Gems can be used more generally across both solo and party play. These Diablo Immortal Gems are more generally focused on your ability to tank incoming hits, and dispel as much damage as possible.

Gem Name Description
Lightning Core Attacks charge up electricity that when released causes a chain attack of 90% base damage + 1,134 to surrounding enemies
Defiant Soul Deals 50% base damage + 801 to surrounding enemies every time you block an attack
Blessing of the Worthy Taking damage has a 20% chance to deal 12% of your maximum life as damage to nearby enemies
Phoenix Ashes Prohibits any fatal hit, and gives you a shield of 4.5x your base damage for four seconds
Berserker’s Eye Increases both damage given by 5.5% but also damage taken by 6%

The above Diablo Immortal Crusader Gems can all combine to create a damage-dealing machine that is very much capable of taking some hits too. With these Gems, you will either be the most important player in your party, or a solo wrecking ball, destroying all in your way.
