It is certainly a viable build, from beginning to end. Although Diablo Immortal doesn’t cram the screen full of enemies with corpses to explode, this build takes full advantage of the skills and gear available, assuring the Necromancer gamers that it is still possible to have a literal blast on the way to the top of the leaderboards.
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
Though this may initially look like a Summoner build, the Corpse Explosion Necromancer requires corpses. Most boss fights have no minions around, so this requires the Necromancer to bring their own corpses along. Let these undead minions die, then detonate their bodies.
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
RELATED: Diablo Immortal: What is Potency
While it’s totally fine to increase the damage done by the summoned units, make sure to never buff their survivability or decrease their quantity. Their purpose, after all, is to die.
Set Items
Although the summoned units are not the primary damage source for the build, having them do as much damage as possible before they die and succumb to Corpse Explosion is a shot in the arm for the Necromancer’s DPS.
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
Adding more corpse explosions to a Corpse Explosion build? The Ravager is a natural fit for the Necromancer.
Attributes
Much as the case with other portions of this guide, if there isn’t anything that directly benefits Corpse Explosion, buff the summon damage. However, be careful in this Ravager family as there is an attribute that reduces summon damage taken; that’s a direct problem for this build.
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
With all the boosts to summoned units in this build, don’t be afraid to grab as many legendary gems that summon units as possible.

The only 2-star gems avoided here belong mostly to tanking and melee character builds. All the rest can be of at least some assistance to a Corpse Explosion Necromancer.
While the 1-star gems might not seem like anything to write home about, several of these have even more utility for the Corpse Explosion build than the ones ranked higher. Due to Resonance perks, it’s always better to have more stars, but don’t feel any pressure to move on from these unless it’s absolutely necessary.
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.
