Rest assured, the move is a wise choice. It worked in previous versions and it works now in Diablo Immortal. The build might not be as easy to make as it is in Diablo 3, but once it is put together, the Crusader will be blowing up waves of enemies before they can get a single strike in.
Due to several factors, like gear, skills, reforging, and upgrades, it is impossible to list the exact quantities for many of the numbers detailed here. Any variable number has been replaced with an ‘X’ to signify its potential to change.
Skill Selection
With four other skills that are designed to take out mobs, it becomes necessary to pick up Punish for the blocking and defense. There is loads of mobility packed into here, which is perfect for a Crusader that needs to set up Consecration and Spinning Shields.
Gear
The bulk of gamers will be hunting down their ideal pieces of legendary gear after taking the time to beat the game. But don’t forget to track down the set bonus pieces after choosing them from the list. A complete set gives three additional effects, on par with the legendary bonuses from the regular gear.
Primary Gear
The two sacrifices here, giving up the movement on Falling Sword and the grabbing effect of Draw and Quarter, may seem significant, but they are not. Weak enemies will die well before grabbing them become relevant and Draw and Quarter gives the Crusader more than enough speed to not need additional mobility.
Please note that the Besieger is required to have the Bombardment ability, so it’s a very mandatory part of this build.

Set Items
There is a sharp divide among players that use this build. Those who make it higher up in the CHallenge Rifts seem to favor Untouchable Mountebank for the extra tanking. Still, have some license to experiment with the set bonuses.
Reforge Bonuses
Even for paid players, reforge attribute bonuses can be guided, but are not guaranteed completely. With enough rerolls, any player can eventually get the exact attribute they want, but this will take time and luck, even for those who have the money. Therefore, several different attributes have been listed within the same family, in order of preference.
Family Bonus
As a build responsible for dealing massive damage to groups, mobs have a moderate chance to spawn a Hydra as they die in droves. Count on a few appearing in each rift.
Attributes
Although skill damage is the focus of this build as it boosts the Bombardment ability, there will be a point where the final boss is a bigger challenge than the rest of the rift combined. When that happens, prioritize primary attack damage instead.
Gems
There are two kinds of gems to consider for this build: the legendary gems and the regular gems. Players of all income levels will be using this guide, so there are three charts for legendary gems to choose from. Probability demands that even paying for an advantage will still make it tough to get the right gems, so feel free to mix and match from the charts based on the character’s most valuable stats.
Legendary Gems
There is some variety permitted for the Bombardment build, especially regarding the 5-Star gems. It all comes back to the final boss balance. Equip more tanking and primary attack gems if it’s a problem. If not, go for mobility and skill damage.

The effects of the 2-Star gems are about as good as the 5-Star gems, even if their Resonance rating is less. Once again, a combination of longevity and DPS should be struck given the selection the 2-Star gems afford.
Some of the best Crusaders on each server sometimes use Berserker’s Eye, even if they have a higher-rated gem. Most builds can’t handle trading in any defense for more offense, but with the blocks from Punish, the Crusader can survive such a tradeoff.
Regular Gem Preference
Given the choice between tanking and damage, elect for extra damage every time, allowing the best defense to be a good offense.
