Diablo 4 Season 1 Compendium – Season Launch Updates & New Guides

Diablo 4 Season 1 is upon us and we are excited to release a massive Season 1 Compendium containing a wave of updates to our content. We have several new Build Guides across all classes and have updated them all for Season 1 with Caged Heart recommendations. We'll be testing and learning a lot about the state of many classes alongside everyone else, and have a lot of updates planned throughout the Season.

All Tier Lists have been updated and we've added a new Unique Item Tier List as well. We're working on building out a full Wiki section that can be found on our main navigation menu. Our search bar functions the same way, but now you can find any Aspect, Unique or Caged Heart to go along with our Side Quests, Dungeons and other Resources. So many things to talk about, let's dive in below and see everything we have to offer for Season 1!

Tier Lists & Build Guides

Can't decide which class to play on your own? Tier Lists are a great way to see how different builds and classes stack up against each other in various parts of the game. Choose your class and embark on an adventure. If you need assistance along the way, we have Leveling & Endgame guides to help you build a strong character. We'll be testing a lot of new builds and make sure our current guides stay relevant throughout the Season!
