Diablo 4 Renown

With the season nearing its end, regardless of your class in Diablo 4 Season 10, you should theoretically have found a suitable build. But have you considered upgrading it further to earn more rewards before Season 10 concludes?

Advanced builds suitable for each Diablo 4 class differ. This time, we'll use Necromancer as an example to recommend Shattered Spirit Build!

This build offers reliable damage output and fast enemy clearing, and can be developed into either a farm-oriented or hit-push-oriented build as needed.

Its only drawback is its high gear requirements, but honestly, that's something you should consider, not a flaw in the build itself, right? And its advantage at the end of the season is that you should have already acquired a considerable amount of rare gear.

Next, we'll introduce you to this build and its two variations.

Shattered Spirit Necromancer Build Overview

With all the necessary gear, this build offers consistently high performance, allowing you to quickly eliminate enemies in the current fight and obtain the desired rewards or advance to the next level of The Pit.

Required Gear

Regardless of how you intend to use this build, or if you want to customize it to suit your personal playstyle, you must ensure that the build includes the following three gears; otherwise, it will not function properly.

• Blood Moon Breeches
• Shattered Spirit's Aspect
• Gospel of the Devotee

The latter two items deserve special mention. The name itself reveals the importance of Shattered Spirit's Aspect to this build; it allows Bone Spirit to launch 18 Bone Splinters in all directions, resulting in a 200-600% damage increase and generating additional essences.

Gospel of the Devotee is unique in that it has a Chaos Armor version in Season 10, further increasing the damage percentage by 36% based on the original item's effect. It also ensures that Bone Splinters penetrate enemies.

Basic Skills

You can decide which skills to add based on your subsequent build variants, but the following skills are essential for any Shattered Spirit Necromancer Build:

• Decompose
• Bone Prison
• Reap
• Bone Spirit
• Corpse Tendrils
• Bone Storm

Book Of The Dead

As a Necromancer class-specific mechanic, the choice of Book of the Dead is also important for the build. There are three types of this mechanic, each with different content to choose from. The following configuration is recommended for this build:

• Melee Skeletons - Reaper: Increases shadow damage. If critical strike chance is insufficient, Skirmishers can be sacrificed to assist.
• Mage Skeletons - Cold: Increases damage against vulnerable targets.
• Golem - Iron: Increases critical strike damage.

Speed Farming Version

To achieve this variant of Shattered Spirit Necromancer Build, you need two things: sufficient cooldown reduction to shorten Bone Spirit cooldown, and Rapid Ossification ranks.

The first requires equipping more gear, such as Harlequin Crest, Lidless Wall Chaos Armor with cooldown reduction affixes, or Crown of Lucion Chaos Armor.

On top of that, you can further Masterworking the cooldown reduction affixes on these gears three times. However, if you're adding an off-hand weapon, you should Masterworking Bone Splinters to allow them to be cast twice for more damage.

Typically, for every 100 Essence consumed, your Bone Spirit cooldown will be reduced by 4.5 seconds until Essence is depleted. Therefore, theoretically, you'll need to replenish Essence every time you cast Bone Spirit.

To achieve this, you can cast Macabre skill. This way, Bone Spirit benefits from the next Rapid Ossification even when consuming Essence, creating an infinite loop of constantly casting Bone Spirit for rapid farming.

In short, the core of this variant is to reduce the cooldown of Bone Spirit to below that of Rapid Ossification. Once you master this, you can engage in simple and effective combat by spamming skill keys.

Note that if you get stuck, you can use Decrepify. This skill consumes a small amount of Essence to trigger Rapid Renewal, refreshing Bone Spirit.

The Pit Pushing Version

The core of this version is to maximize critical strike damage. To achieve this, we start with gear. In addition to the essential items for the entire build, you should continue adding Fists of Fate, whose critical strike chance is a random value between 1% and 360%.

Next, you'll need Okun's Catalyst, then unlock Bone skills, and upgrade these skills through Triple Masterworking. Rapid Ossification only needs to be at the lowest rank, as this version doesn't rely on cooldown reduction.

Of course, this doesn't mean cooldown reduction isn't important; it just means equipping Crown of Lucion is sufficient to ensure basic effectiveness.

Regarding skills, in addition to what's already mentioned, this build variant requires unlocking Corpse Tendrils for better enemy gathering and casting Macabre skills to help restore key resources. Also, don't forget to add more incense and elixir to boost your attack.

Building upon this, combine it with Bone Storm skill and continuously upgrade it for more critical hits. This will allow you to quickly clear regular enemies in The Pit and rapidly kill each floor's boss, advancing to more floors within the time limit.

That concludes our introduction to Shattered Spirit Necromancer Build. If you still have the interest and time to craft new builds towards the end of the season, give it a try!

Diablo 4 Season 10 will officially end on December 9th, but some players are still exploring the game and struggling with Uber Lilith.

Frankly, Season 10 has removed the immunity phase for each boss, significantly reducing the difficulty of defeating Uber Lilith. If you're having trouble killing it, you might just be lacking a suitable boss-killer build. Many builds can achieve this, such as Flay Barbarian build described below.

How To Play Flay Barbarian?

Main Skills

Flay is the primary damage source skill in this build. It stacks high amounts of Bleed by attacking enemies. You can easily stack billions of Bleed damage on Lilith.

Rupture is primarily a utility and finishing skill. Its role is no longer the main damage source. After gathering a large number of enemies and stacking Bleed, repeatedly using Rupture can quickly clear the area.

Additionally, when a boss's health is low, Rupture can quickly kill it. However, relying entirely on Rupture for damage in boss fights can be very painful, while Flay provides a much better experience.

Rage And Resource Management

One of the core mechanics of Flay Barbarian Build is maintaining a high level of rage. This is because Locran's Talisman provides Critical Strike Damage based on current rage. Therefore, keeping rage full is crucial.

The effects of Yul and Lum Runewords allow you to use skills with cooldowns to regenerate rage. Ring of Starless Skies reduces resource consumption; this combination allows you to focus on rage management during combat, as your rage will be continuously generated.

Defense

The core defensive skill of this build is Iron Skin, and its enhanced Tactical Iron Skin can be used when health is below 50%, providing healing and a shield. Aspect of the Iron Warrior further enhances the effects of Iron Skin.

How To Defeat Uber Lilith?

Uber Lilith is the most powerful boss in Diablo 4, but unlike other bosses, she doesn't provide a wealth of Diablo 4 items. While she appears to have a one-hit kill mechanic, in reality, aside from platform collapses, she doesn't have any truly lethal abilities. All her damage can be avoided through positioning and understanding the mechanics.

If your gear doesn't meet the above requirements, or you lack mythic items, you can try challenging Uber Lilith, but your damage will definitely be significantly lower, making it impossible to kill her before her phase transition.

Before challenging her, ensure your armor and elemental resistances are at their maximum, and your movement speed is at least 155%, which is crucial for dodging mechanics. You must have at least one ability that provides an unstoppable state. If you're using a Flay Barbarian build, War Cry and Wrath of the Berserker both provide unstoppable.

Remember to always prioritize dodging mechanics (especially waves), with damage output being secondary. When she releases waves, remember to stand at the bottom of the arena, and during the platform running phase, stay close to the edge to maximize your safety zone.

Note that when you reach the bottom or top of a platform, Lilith will perform a pull; you must use an unstoppable ability at this moment, otherwise you'll be pulled back to the center of the arena, making you extremely vulnerable to death. Keep moving throughout, especially when dealing with the triangular waves; remaining stationary is tantamount to death. However, if your damage output is high enough, you can definitely kill her before she transitions to her next phase.

This concludes the basic introduction to Flay Barbarian build and some key points for defeating Uber Lilith. If you consistently fail to defeat Lilith, it's best to upgrade your gear and damage before attempting the challenge again.
