This guide is not trying to reinvent the wheel for the best PvE build in Diablo Immortal. Quite the opposite. After visiting several servers and looking at the top of the leaderboards, it’s clear what the top build is right now. Go ahead and try something different. But, for now, these are what the best Necromancers in the Challenge Rifts are doing.
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
This is a very typical setup for the Summoner Necromancer build. Some of the rest of the build makes necessary alteration or survivability, but it’s good news for the players who already enjoy this style of play.
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 biggest difference between a traditional Summoner and this build is the inclusion of the Baleful Trinity. Hitting groups of targets down with the primary Soulfire attack is necessary for getting through the first leg of the rift in a timely manner.

Set Items
It appears, from comparing the top players between servers, that this set is the ideal. Many have not managed to put the whole set together, but these pieces are common enough that it’s apparent this set is the endgame goal.
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
Although the free corpse explosion is undoubtedly helpful for killing clusters of enemies, the Ravager family is chosen mostly due to its individual attributes.
Attributes
Aside from the potion cooldown reduction, there seemed to be an equal split among the other attributes. Although it can be tempting to invest fully into summons, challenge rifts have a way of forcing the player to be more defensive. Life regeneration is also part of this Ravager family and is another popular selection among the top-tier raiders.
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
For the higher-level challenge rifts, there is no chance to avoid being struck by opponents. The Necromancer will have to act as a tank, in part, and that’s reflected in the gem selection.

For those who have gotten lucky, the 2-star gems might not have the Resonance power of the 5-star gems, but they do have some strong bonuses to give.
Although 1-star gem runners might not be able to achieve the heights of the rest, their speed will be nearly unmatched due to the nifty buffs from the available gems.
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. Players at high levels are split between the blue being Armor or Armor Penetration, so this decision can lean heavily on player preference, demand, and balance.
Diablo Immortal is available now for mobile and PC.
