For MMORPGs, builds are one of the most efficient tools that players can use in battle, and this is also true in Diablo 4 series. A good build will effectively combine the skills, weapons, equipment and other elements available to your game character, allowing you to exert your greatest strength in battle and kill enemies faster.
In Diablo 4 series of games, Rogue has always been a popular class. It is mainly popular with players for its excellent mobility and flexibility, and the class also has many powerful weapons that can be obtained and used through Diablo 4 Gold. Based on these characteristics, you will find that this class has many builds for you to use in battle. The most classic of them is Twisting Blades Build.
In fact, this is not a new build that appeared in the sixth season, but it has appeared in previous seasons, but now it has undergone various updates and optimizations from players, making it more powerful and easier to use in Season of Hatred Rising.
With that in mind, we’re going to show you how to use Rogue’s Twisting Blades Build in Season 6.
The Right Skill Upgrade Order
If you want your Twisting Blades Build to be successful before reaching the endgame, you need to unlock the right skills, and it’s best to upgrade them in a specific order from level 1 to 50. Here’s the best skill upgrade order for the first 10 levels:
- 1. Puncture
- 2. Enhanced Puncture
- 3. Twisting Blades
- 4. Enhanced Twisting Blades
- 5. Improved Twisting Blades
- 6. Fundamental Puncture
- 7. Shadow Step
- 8. Dash
- 9. Twisting Blades
- 10. Twisting Blades
If you want to be a Rogue player who can become more powerful by using Twisting Blades Build, you should master these skills using reputation points. Doing so will make it easy to enter the endgame phase of the game with this build, regardless of whether you’re playing the campaign while upgrading.
For Season 6’s Twisting Blades Build, the core skill is of course Twisting Blades, which is the skill you use most often when dealing damage to enemies, and you can also use Shadow and Poison Imbuements to enhance Twisting Blades. However, it is worth noting that you also need Puncture to obtain energy for power Twisting Blades.
In addition, for optimal mobility, you need to make reasonable use of Shadow Step and Dash skills. They not only allow you to cross the battlefield but also weaken enemies and increase your critical hit chance.
The Most Suitable Specialization Option
If you know something about Rogue class or you have always been a Rogue player, you will know that this class has an exclusive enhancement mechanism, which is Specialization.
In Diablo 4, there are three unique Rogue Specializations for you to choose one of them to equip to further enhance your build. If you want to match it with Twisting Blades Build, we recommend that you choose Combo Points Specialization.
This way, when you use Twisting Blades Build, your basic skills will generate combo points. Once you have three points, you can consume them with core skills to gain additional combat benefits.
If you cast Puncture three times after this, you can easily use Twisting Blades to destroy groups of enemies. Puncture also helps you keep yourself supplied with energy during combat.
Because of the unique role of Combo Points Specialization, we recommend repeating some skills in the following rotation order so that your entire combat process is more coherent and effective:
- Poison Imbuement
- Shadow Step
- Puncture x3
- Twisting Blades
- Shadow Imbuement
- Dash
- Puncture x3
- Twisting Blades
After you use Poison Imbuement first, which affects Shadow Step, once you rush into a group of enemies, remember to use Puncture three times to accumulate combo points before casting Twisting Blades with Imbuement. Then use Shadow Imbuement to make the enemy vulnerable.
Then cast a Dash to slash enemies in your path, and repeat Puncture and Twisting Blades to use Combo Points Specialization ability. Finally, repeat the entire process until all enemies are defeated.
Best Legendary Aspects
With Twisting Blades Build, you can obtain many excellent Legendary Aspects through dungeons to further improve the power of this build.
- Aspect of Corruption-Renegade’s Retreat: Allows you to be more lethal to vulnerable enemies when using Imbuement skill.
- Bladedancer’s Aspect-Jalal’s Vigil: This aspect causes Twisting Blades to detour for a short time after returning to you, and each hit can also gain a certain percentage of the return damage.
- Vengeful Aspect-Inferno: Can cause further damage to vulnerable enemies, and has a chance to create Arrow Storm at the enemy’s location, causing physical damage for a short period.
- Aspect of Arrow Storms-Howling Warren: Uses Marksman and Cutthroat skills to cast Arrow Storm on enemies, causing corresponding damage.
- Aspect of Unstable Imbuements-Whispering Vault: Allows you to cause an explosion while using Imbuement skill and applies Imbuement effect to deal the same type of damage.
Best Twisting Blades Build For PVP Mode
Regarding PVP mode, we recommend that you use Twisting Blades Build for PVP Fields of Hatred. Here, this build is mainly centered on single-target damage, especially Twisting Blades, which always works against a single enemy. So it will be very suitable for dealing with relevant PVP modes.
While Twisting Blades Build performs well in PVP, you can also try using Barrage Builds. Compared to Twisting Blades Build, they will perform better in this fast-paced environment.
