News Tag: Diablo 4 Mythic Uniques

Mythic Uniques are the most powerful unique items in Diablo 4. Each Mythic Unique has a description of its personality and lore. Mythic Uniques Items are items that can change the way you play the game. They can almost redefine your build.

But is this true? Not entirely. There are currently 12 Mythic Uniques Items in the game, and only some of them are very powerful items. So when you get a Mythic Unique Item in the next season, it’s best to see if it is useful for your build before deciding whether to equip it.

How To Get Mythic Uniques?

Mythic Uniques Items always drop as Ancestral 800 Items, which means they will have at least one higher affix. Mythic Uniques can be increased in power at a Blacksmith, but cannot be Tempered.

1. Monster Drops

Mythic Uniques only drop from Torment Difficulty monsters, and higher Torment Tier, the higher the chance of a monster dropping Mythic Uniques Items. But in general, it is still a bit unreliable to get Mythic Uniques Items by farming Monsters. Torment Difficulty monsters may drop unique items and gold, but the chance of dropping Mythic Uniques Items is too low.

2. Boss

The theme of Season 8 is Boss Powers. In order to raise the rank of Boss Powers to the highest level, players will have to farm Bosses. Torment difficulty bosses have a much higher chance of dropping Mythic Uniques Items than normal monsters.

3. Resplendent Spark

It takes 4 Resplendent Sparks to craft a Mythic Uniques Item, and it is also possible to craft a Mythic Unique Cache with 2 Resplendent Sparks and 50,000,000 Gold.

Only 1 Resplendent Spark is obtained from disenchanting a Mythic Uniques Item. 1 Resplendent Spark is obtained from defeating Echo of Lilith and any Tormented Boss for the first time, and 2 each season. Certain Mythic Uniques can be exchanged for 2 Resplendent Sparks runes and 5,000 Diablo 4 Gold at Jeweler.

Mythic Uniques Item Tier

Tier 4

• Shattered Vow: You can execute enemies that have sustained damage greater than their remaining health.
• Nesekem, the Herald: Marks an enemy every 2 seconds for your next [1 - 10] attacks. Marked enemies become vulnerable, and your attacks against them are guaranteed to deal critical hits and suppress.
• Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander: After killing an elite enemy, gain a random Shrine effect that lasts for 20 seconds. This effect can only be triggered once every 30 seconds.

Tier 4 Mythic Uniques Items represent items that are flawed in their design and will not work or even hinder a build. For example, the unique effects of Shattered Vow are difficult to trigger in combat.

If you are unlucky enough to get one of these, disenchant them into a Resplendent Spark or exchange them for gold.

Tier 3

• Melted Heart of Selig: When the equipped character takes damage, each 1% of maximum health lost is converted into 2 resources.
• Andariel’s Visage: Lucky Hit has a 20% chance to trigger Poison Nova, dealing 4,500 poison damage to enemies in the area over 5 seconds.
• Tyrael’s Might: At full health, your skill unleashes a holy barrage that deals 195 damage.

Tier 3 Mythic Uniques Items are items that have some use value. They are useful for a few builds, but they are still replaceable. For example, Tyrael’s Might can only be triggered when the health is full, and the damage is not high. It is suitable for Sorcerer class or builds with strong health regeneration, but as a body armor, it can only be used as a transition. 

Tier 2

• The Grandfather: Your Critical Strike damage is increased by 100% [x], and the other attributes of this weapon can be higher than normal.
• Doombringer: Your Lucky Hit has a 25% chance to deal up to 900 Shadow damage to nearby enemies, and reduce the damage they deal by 20% for 5 seconds.

Tier 2 Mythic Uniques Items are items that can be very powerful in some builds, but they are not widely used. They are used to pursuing extremes. You can use them in some Overpower Builds or in Hardcore mode.

Tier 1

• Ring of Starless Skies: Consuming a Primary Resource reduces the resource cost of the equipped character’s skills and increases their damage by 3 seconds.
• Harlequin Crest: Equipped character gains 20% damage reduction. And all skill levels +4.
• Heir of Perdition: Gain Lilith’s Favor, increasing your damage by 60% [x]. When Slaughtering a monster, you can briefly steal Lilith’s Favor from nearby allies.
• Shroud of False Death: Gain 40% [+] movement speed and Stealth effect if you haven’t attacked in the past 2 seconds.

Tier 1 Mythic Uniques Items are the strongest and are considered must-have items in many builds. Many top-level builds require these Mythic Uniques Items.

It is not yet known whether Season 8 will add new Mythic Uniques Items. Mythic Uniques Items mentioned above are all Uniques Items currently in the game. Except for Tier 1 items, other unique items are relatively not too powerful unless they are useful for your Build.

Diablo 4 Season of the Infernal Hordes has undergone a complete classification and stat adjustment. Mythic Uniques now have powerful abilities that almost touch the limits of game balance. It is these rare Uniques that allow players to successfully defeat some of the most powerful bosses in the game. 

These Mythic Uniques vary in versatility and general usefulness. This guide will introduce the use of 8 Mythic Uniques.

8. Doombringer

Doombringer has been redesigned in Diablo 4 Season of the Infernal Hordes, bringing a significant maximum life increase and good damage reduction, making it a superb weapon for improving survivability. Just by equipping an item, it can increase maximum health by 35%, which is a valuable item.

However, Doombringer may not be attractive enough for many character builds. Unless you’re a Barbarian who can sacrifice a one-handed weapon slot for other effects, other Legendary weapons tend to offer so much more damage output than Doombringer that it’s hard to really stand out from the crowd of Mythic Uniques.

7. Melted Heart Of Selig

Melted Heart of Selig is also a survivability-enhancing amulet that, when damaged, a large portion of the damage is diverted to the resource pool, mitigating direct damage to health. This amulet also significantly increases the character’s maximum resources, and can convert those resources into a secondary bag of health. So it’s suitable for character builds that have extra resources to spare.

It’s only suitable for a few specific character builds. Most skills that rely on large resource consumption are incompatible with Melted Heart of Selig. Character builds equipped with this equipment and can withstand attacks from T120 Pit bosses and Uber Lilith.

6. Ahavarion, Spear Of Lycander

I don’t agree that Ahavarion is the worst performing Mythic Unique, as it provides:

• 160% critical strike, vulnerable, and Overpower damage
• 33% movement speed
• +66% to all resistances
• +18 percent to all stats
• 66% of the time, the character will be affected by Shrines

In addition to the above stat increases, the real value of Ahavarion is that when you defeat an Elite, you will gain a random Shrine effect that lasts for 20 seconds, and this effect has a 30-second trigger cooldown. Although the effects of Shrines in Diablo 4 vary greatly in strength, it is very powerful to obtain effects such as Artillery or Channeling Shrines based on needs.

So compared to other legendary weapons in the game, the series of stat increases and unique shrine effects provided by Ahavarion can bring similar benefits to players without directly consuming Diablo 4 Gold. How can Ahavarion be said to be a bad item?

5. Andariel’s Visage

Andariel’s Visage provides unusual properties such as attack speed and life on hit, which are properties you wouldn’t normally expect from a helmet. You can significantly increase attack speed by using Andariel’s Visage to reach a 100% attack speed cap.

Andariel’s Visage also provides a unique effect. Lucky hits can trigger a poison nova that deals tremendous damage, almost destroying any enemy in Nightmare Dungeons and Helltide in one-shotting. This makes it an indispensable core item for many rogue players’ builds.

Not every build can fully utilize the effects of Andariel’s Visage, as different builds have different effects on lucky hit proc rate. A Rogue may trigger this effect multiple times in a few seconds, while a Sorcerer or Druid may not activate it at all. If your build is not designed for DoT damage, then you can experience the genuine appeal of Andariel’s Visage.

4. Ring Of Starless Skies

Ring of Starless Skies was greatly buffed in Infernal Hordes patch. It now provides critical chance comparable to Greater Affix Legendary, but also increases attack speed. Once it’s maxed out, it will deal massive damage and reduce resource consumption when your resources are consumed, an effect that stacks up to 50%.

Ring Of Starless Skies has just about every stat you could wish for, and its unique effect works with almost every character build in the game.

3. Grandfather

Grandfather isn’t a weapon that provides healing properties. It increases your critical damage by 100%. Rather than a small increase to your base damage bonus, it doubles all of your critical damage bonuses. Most character builds in Diablo 4 can focus on critical damage with relative ease, so every build can make the most of this stat. This also applies to the item’s other affixes, making Grandfather a powerful and widely applicable unique in Diablo 4.

2. Tyrael’s Might

Any character build that needs a boost in survivability should pick up this Tyrael’s Might, which is a leader in defensive capabilities. It provides up to 20% of global damage reduction and also significantly increases your maximum resistances.

When your HP is full, this chest armor also provides a diet Artillery Shrine, which fires a barrage of divine arrows at your skill location, and this effect has no cooldown. Although it deals less damage than Artillery Shrine, the damage reduction effect is so good that Tyrael’s Might is the best choice for almost all builds.

1. Harlequin Crest

After Harlequin Crest was buffed in Season of the Infernal Hordes, it has become an indispensable part of every S-tier meta build. Almost every build adopts this helmet to reduce the cooldown by 20%, and the cooldown can be further reduced to 44% with perfect masterwork slams, and even up to 55% with Greater Affix.

Not only does Harlequin Crest significantly increase your HP, armor, and maximum resources, it also provides a global 20% damage reduction buff, similar to the effect of Tyrael’s Might. This helmet also provides a +4 skill point bonus for the class. If you want to be a top player in Diablo 4, you must wear Harlequin Crest.

Whether it is pursuing extreme output, solid defense or flexible skill application, these Mythic Uniques can play a vital role in various character builds. If you want to have more game resources, you can follow the Giveaway channel in IGGM discord. There are many active discord groups, and product giveaway information is often released. Mastering the stats and best applications of these items is crucial for any player who hopes to gain an advantage in the game.

In Diablo 4 Season 5, you can craft Mythic Unique items in a variety of ways, eliminating the inconvenience of relying on random drops to obtain these powerful gear. These Mythic Uniques are superior to Legendary gear and can greatly enhance your character. As you explore the content of this season, you can find ways to obtain the Mythic Unique items you need without relying solely on luck.

Many Unique items have the potential to drop as rewards during Infernal Hordes event in World Tiers 3 and 4. In this mode, continuous combat gives you a chance to eventually get a Mythic Unique. However, it is unknown exactly which items will drop and whether they will be suitable for your current character build.

Craft Mythic Unique Items

In Diablo 4, you can use Alchemist vendor to craft any Mythic Unique. These vendors are NPCs located in various Waypoint towns in Sanctuary. Alchemist you visit most often will probably be in Kyovashad, but by liberating Strongholds around the world you can unlock other more convenient Alchemist locations. To find Unique item crafting options, you’ll need to open the Alchemist’s store and navigate to “Transmutation” menu.

Under “Transmute Sparks” section, you can see every Mythic Unique weapon or gear piece available to your character in alphabetical order. Crafting any Mythic Unique item through Alchemist will cost 50,000,000 Diablo 4 Gold and 4 Resplendent Sparks. If you can’t use a specific Unique item in Season 5, it won’t appear in the available items on the vendor menu.

While “Summoning Item” and “Crafting Materials” sections on Transmutation Alchemist menu are not related to Mythic Unique crafting, you can browse these sections to see what else Alchemist can craft for your character.

How To Obtain Crafting Materials?

The cost of gold alone is prohibitive enough to make crafting Mythic Uniques difficult, but you can easily earn enough gold by participating in various activities. For example, Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, World Bosses, or the aforementioned Infernal Hordes are all great ways to earn a lot of gold. Especially with Infernal Hordes, choosing the higher difficulty waves can sometimes allow you to earn millions of gold per run.

Additionally, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord. A lucky draw will be held on August 19th. 100 Duriel materials, 100 Stygian stones and 10,000M gold coins have been prepared for 10 winners. As long as you participate in the event, you will have a chance to become a lucky winner. Besides this event, there will be product giveaway information from time to time, so you can be more active in the discord group to not miss any information.

Disintegrating Mythic Unique items you no longer need is a common way to obtain Resplendent Sparks you need. This process is similar to recycling Legendary gear in Diablo 4 to extract its appearance, and you can obtain Sparks by destroying a Unique item. If you have enough gold, this is actually a way to convert Mythic Uniques you currently have into another item you want.

Best Farming Methods

Mythic Unique items are difficult to obtain, although Diablo 4’s a pity system ensures that you will get at least one drop after participating in multiple activities. Besides breaking down Unique items you already own, exploring other ways to acquire Sparks is essential to making the most of Mythic crafting system. Some effective strategies stem from Season 5’s new content, while others are included in the base game content.

Defeating the first Tormented boss your encounter will guarantee at least one Resplendent Spark. These seasonal enemies are highly challenging, and not only do they provide the materials needed to craft Mythic Unique items, they may also reward you with a variety of other loot. However, this method can only be used once against any one enemy, as Sparks will only drop the first time a Tormented boss summoned in this way is defeated.

Season 5 brings a new tier of rewards to Diablo 4, and these rewards come from collecting items called Mother’s Gift. These rewards mainly consist of Triune Caches, which contain a variety of Unique items. At Tier 27 of the rewards, you can get a Resplendent Spark, which provides you with an incentive to work hard to collect resources. To quickly reach the required level, try completing Infernal Hordes and continue to collect Mother’s Gifts.

Additionally, when you defeat the Level 100 version of ultimate boss Uber Lilith, in the major story, you will also receive a Resplendent Spark. Once you have collected the required Sparks, you can craft any Mythic Uniques that are suitable for your character, greatly enhancing your character’s strength.

In short, obtaining Mythic Uniques through a variety of strategies can significantly improve your character build and enhance the gaming experience. By participating in various activities and defeating seasonal enemies and bosses, you can effectively collect the materials and gold required to craft Mythic Uniques, allowing you to make further progress in the game!
