Diablo Immortal Best Classes PvE

Generally speaking, for PvE, the ultimate question for those new to the game when jumping into Blizzard’s Diablo Immortal is which class they should pick. Honestly, there is no such thing as the best class in PvE. The game is built well to ensure each class is balanced, but we can say that some classes are more effective than others. If you plan to play solo Diablo Immortal, you can read through this guide to help you out. As a disclaimer, the guide will not touch on the PvP aspect of the game as we will go through the solo activities that will take most of your time trying to upgrade and level up your character.

S Tier PvE Class

Demon Hunter

A Demon Hunter deals massive damage but can also take a lot of damage from enemies. In Diablo Immortal, even though they are the squishiest class in the game, their dealing damage makes up for it, and with a ranged dual crossbow, they can keep their distance from enemies if you are into ranged attacks rather than melee. Their single target damage makes it practical to go against bosses but lacks crowd control.

• Skills:
  • Crossbow shot: Shoot arrows that deals damage but sacrifice mobility speed.
• Ultimate Volley: For 12 seconds, enhance the Crossbow shot attack by increasing the damage per second while increasing your character’s movement speed.
• Multishot: Fires multiple crossbow bolts in all directions for crowd control. This ability has a maximum of three uses.

Barbarian

As a Barbarian class, they are the most versatile type of character in Diablo Immortal.
