Diablo 4 Season 5: The Best Leveling Builds For All Classes | Kakuchopurei (2024)

Diablo 4’s newest Season is bringing you back to Hell. Again. But more amped up than before; promise!

With the new Infernal Hordes event underway in Diablo 4 Season 5, you’ll be getting more awesome Mythic loot and gear by killing a ton of demons and hellspawns in new events and endgame content. Of course, you’ll need to pick a new class and character to get to level 100 and experience all the cool new things the new season has to offer. We’re here to suggest the best builds per class to get you quick to Level 100.

The MVP of this season is clearly the Sorcerer. This is because of the many buffs this class has received for Season 5, and the fact that the Season rewards are geared towards the Sorcerer’s Chain Lightning Build. However, our favourite Sorcerer Build to level up is the one involving the Firewall skill. You summon walls of fire and Hydras to litter the screen with AoE and projectiles: fun! Start the game off with Arc Lash (since it uses no mana), then rely on the Firewall/Hydra and Inferno Ultimate combo to clear the screen. It’s low on utility and weak against really fast enemies, but it’s a pretty simple and effective build to destroy hordes with, even in the lategame.

Second in the running for this Season’s best class is the Rogue. This class is still great at dealing fast damage, though your survivability may be compromised. The best and easiest build to get you to the endgame without much hassle is the Barrage Rogue, where you launch short to mid-ranged attacks with your arrows and projectiles while moving really, REALLY fast.
