Players, Torchlight Infinite SS12 Lunaria has officially launched, so now is the perfect time to explore builds. Unlike traditional maximizing DPS, we'll be introducing a Charge Calling Moto build that maintains approximately 183 billion DPS while significantly improving character survivability and ensuring stable map clearing on Profound difficulty.

This build balances attack and survival. The core gameplay utilizes Self-Destruct Protocol for area-of-effect damage, achieving extremely high damage output while maintaining sufficient Energy Shield stacks through specific gear and talents.

In other words, this build abandons the traditional Glass Cannon route, focusing on a balance between DPS and survivability.

Core Gear and Crafting Strategy

Currently, most Boom Moto players opt for extremely high damage at the cost of low survivability, potentially dying twice per map.

Therefore, we can forgo Isomorphic Arms and instead select Mighty Guard, granting summon skill levels +2. By stacking Energy Shield and defensive layers, the death rate can be significantly reduced.

Equipment selection revolves around maximizing summoned damage output while maintaining Energy Shield.

• Helmet: Machine Lord. The core, best-in-slot item. Reduces summoned numbers but significantly increases damage. The corrupted version is preferable for better value.
• Armor: Void Embankment. The ultimate damage-focused choice. It grants 20% more damage, but reduces Energy Shield from 7500 to 3500, decreasing survivability by 47%. Suitable for players who are skilled in operation.
• Alternative Armor: Choose a high-value Armor that provides a large Energy Shield and good stats.
• Weapon: Core affixes priority is Physical Damage, Summoned Skill Level, Strength, Attack Speed, and Critical Strike Chance. A top-tier base is extremely expensive, requiring approximately 18,000 Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium.
• Ring: Key damage affixes are Physical Damage, Summoned Damage, Double Damage, and Command. Ideally, you should maximize Double Damage chance.

Skill Links and Key Choices

Skill links directly affect your combat efficiency and damage output.

The primary skill is Trog 2nd General. The secondary links are Fearless, which significantly increases the self-destruct skill's range, achieving a screen-clearing effect, and Area Protocol, which further increases skill's range.

Self-Destruct Protocol possesses both tags, expanding its range to cover the entire screen, resulting in extremely high map-clearing efficiency in actual combat. With two summons, it provides seamless full-screen coverage.

Regarding Mechanical Mods, Modularization: Resonance increases extra damage by 88% and is relatively inexpensive, offering both affordability and high efficiency.

However, our ideal choice is Force Field. It not only provides 100% extra damage but also grants summons a shield equal to 100% of their maximum health. For example, a summon with 9000 health would gain an additional 9000 energy shield, effectively doubling its damage.

There are also some other auxiliary skills.

• Energy Fortress: Energy Shield regeneration is not interrupted after each hit.
• Iron Fortification: Provides additional armor and Cooldown recovery, enhancing defense.
• Blink + Quick Mobility + Magic Dash: A three-piece mobility set.
• Rising Edge: Base cooldown 10 seconds. Can be reduced to approximately 6 seconds with 23% Cooldown Recovery Speed ​​and additional Cooldown Reduction. There is approximately a 1-second downtime, which can be compensated for with perfect affixes or talent nodes.

Timid and Activation Medium: Elite are not required and can be replaced.

For aura selection, you can use Precise: Weapon Amplification, Precise: Radical Order, and Energy Fortress.

If you have Lone Walker's Boots, which come with Precise: Radical Order, you can free up an aura slot to replace it with Cruelty or other damage-boosting auras. Having multiple auras active simultaneously significantly increases damage.

Skill Tree Allocation

Minion Damage and Critical Hit Zone

Take points into Minion Damage with Command per second and Minion Damage with Hasten.

Mighty Guard

Replace Isomorphic Arms; don't use two-handed weapons, but instead gain +2 to Minion skill level.

Machinist

Compared to God of Machines, Machinist provides 15% critical hit damage and skill range, with each point granting 20% ​​critical hit chance and 5% damage.

Key points are +1 to Synthetic Troops skill level, attack speed from Command, and maximum minion health.

Lich

With a 20% Critical Hit chance and 5% Critical Strike Damage bonus, this is our damage-boosting strategy. All skill levels and all attributes are important.

Slates Strategy

Our ideal affixes are Command, maximum minion health, and double damage chance (prioritize these until 100%).

Resonance of the Stars can copy all purple affixes on all slates. For example, three slates that provide Command will give you 6 Commands, and six of those will give you 12, a very high benefit. It's also easy to obtain.

Practical Evaluation

On Profound difficulty, our Charge Calling Moto clears maps very quickly, covering the entire screen. Unless hit by a burst of high damage, it's very stable and almost never dies. If you're unlucky, you might die once per map.

By doubling the number of summons with Machine Lord, maximizing double chance, and using Resonance of the Stars to copy slates, we can achieve a survivable output of 200 billion. Even without Machine Lord, it's playable, but with one less summon, the damage will be halved.

For a safer experience, you can choose a high-energy shield Armor to replace the damage-dealing chest armor.

If you're looking to reliably farm Profound difficulty with Charge Calling Moto in Season 12, this build offers a very balanced approach. There's no need to blindly pursue the high-risk, high-reward glass cannon.

Go online and explore!

Lord of Hatred has brought sweeping changes to every class in Diablo 4, with each skill tree undergoing a massive rework. Many builds players were once familiar with are now unrecognizable, some have vanished entirely, and entirely new ones have emerged in their place.

In Season 13, if you want to level quickly and transition smoothly into the endgame, choosing an efficient build is crucial. Below, let's look at the strongest leveling builds for each class in Season 13 so you can hit max level with ease.

Warlock

• Build: Dread Claw Warlock

Warlock is absolutely central to Lord of Hatred expansion, and since it's a new class, experimenting with any build feels fresh. From a leveling standpoint, however, Dread Claw Warlock is currently the best option.

In terms of gameplay, you'll frequently use Nether Step to dive into enemy packs. It serves as your primary mobility tool while also generating Shadow Form stacks.

Your core damage skill is Dread Claws, which can instantly clear everything in sight. For single targets and elites, you can lean on Profane Sentinel and use Terror Swarm to boost your clearing speed.

Although the build can be a bit complex to pilot, it's incredibly solid in every aspect, letting you breeze through the campaign and step into early endgame content.

Paladin

• Build: Wing Strikes Paladin

Anyone who played Paladin in Season 12 will sing praises about how smooth it feels. This class is nearly flawless in survivability, damage, and farming. Wing Strikes Paladin is, without a doubt, still the best leveling build for the class.

The core goal is to permanently maintain Arbiter form, allowing Wing Strikes to obliterate everything around you. Even if your gear lacks affixes that extend Arbiter form, you can effortlessly sustain it by continuously using Falling Star, Condemn, and Flash of the Blade Advance.

This build makes you practically unkillable, grants absurd mobility, and transitions perfectly into a variety of endgame builds - including the endgame version of Wing Strikes itself.

Rogue

• Build: Dance of Knives Rogue

Dance of Knives has once again become one of the fastest and most powerful leveling builds in the entire game, thanks to its extraordinary mobility, flexible imbue mechanics, and insane single-target damage against elites and bosses.

Combined with Dark Shroud, Dance of Knives Rogue can easily break the 200% movement speed cap. At the same time, it boasts excellent defenses through the damage reduction Dark Shroud provides. You simply spin and move at high speed, annihilating everything with Dance of Knives.

Sorcerer

• Build: Static Field Blizzard Sorcerer

Static Field Blizzard Sorcerer deals absurdly high damage and requires absolutely no Unique items or Legendary Aspects to get rolling, making it incredibly fast to set up. The gameplay is simple: cast Static Field Blizzard to deal damage, and pop Unstable Currents for burst against priority targets like bosses.

Static Field Blizzard is a damage-over-time skill, so avoid stacking Critical Strike Chance or any stats that improve Critical Strike Damage - they have no effect on this skill. Even so, without any other buffs, its base damage can exceed 10,000% of your weapon damage within 1.5 seconds, making it Sorcerer's strongest core skill this season.

Keep in mind this build cannot function before level 30. Until then, you can get by with any other build. Once you reach the early endgame, you can also keep using this build to farm items and Diablo 4 gold, given its outstanding performance relative to the investment required.

Spiritborn

• Build: Rock Splitter Spiritborn

Rock Splitter Spiritborn is a classic leveling build that delivers strong performance in both damage and survivability. Later on, you can leverage Rushing Claw and its variants to achieve permanent dodging, letting you zip across the map (while weaving in Rock Splitter between every other skill). This build is absolutely one of the fastest in the entire game.

Barbarian

• Build: Whirlwind Barbarian

Barbarian's core in Season 13 is Whirlwind, which becomes accessible as early as level 3. The gameplay is straightforward: use Lunging Strike to close the gap and generate Fury; cast whatever Shouts you've unlocked for bonus damage and movement speed; then hold down Whirlwind to spin and unleash massive damage.

This build dishes out terrifying damage right from the start, while Lunging Strike and Leap provide extra mobility, letting your character charge straight into packs and flatten everything.

Necromancer

• Build: Minions Necromancer

Minions Necromancer has always been one of the best leveling builds in Diablo 4, especially after the class resets in Season 13 polished minion management.

Early on, you'll invest points into Skeletal Mages and Skeletal Warriors. When your Ultimate unlocks, Army of the Dead is the natural choice. It deals increased damage and generates more corpses, helping you handle bosses efficiently. This minion build can carry you through the entire campaign all the way to level 70. It only starts to fall off once you push into higher Torment difficulties, but during the leveling phase, it's unquestionably one of the strongest and quickest builds to get going.

Druid

• Build: Stormclaw Druid

After its rework, Druid no longer feels as clunky as before. You can choose to summon companions or lean on damage skills to level up. Stormclaw Druid is the most efficient route, though the gameplay differs slightly between early and later stages due to the skills used.

In the early phase, you'll use Wind Shear to generate Spirit and apply Vulnerable, with Lightning Storm as your main killing tool. Companion skills are crucial here - you'll rely on them to handle single targets and provide crowd control.

Once you reach the mid-game, Claw replaces Wind Shear as your primary Spirit generator. All of this sets up Hero of the Storm at level 32, and it could transform Lightning Storm into a passive effect that follows you around. Combined with mobility skills, you simply keep moving to deal with everything around you.

While these are the best leveling builds for Season 13, the time it takes to complete the campaign can vary significantly due to differences in gear, movement speed, and other factors across characters. For each class, however, these builds represent the most efficient path.
