5 best Diablo Immortal builds for Rift Racer event

The Rift Racer event in Diablo Immortal requires you to clear enhanced versions of regular rifts. This event demands builds that are fast and can eliminate large mobs without any difficulty. In Diablo Immortal, almost every class can be made agile with the right gear setup; some specific builds stand out due to their area of effect (AoE) damage and crowd control.

In this guide, we will break down the five best builds to use in the Rift Racer event of Diablo Immortal based on their agility and their ability to handle crowds.

Diablo Immortal: 5 best builds to use in the Rift Racer event

1) Firestorm Wizard

The Firestorm Wizard is built specifically to deal with crowds in Diablo Immortal. The build’s layered crowd control and consistent burn DoT effects make it highly effective against crowds of enemies. Combine it with Meteor, and you have another layer of high damage-dealing burn AoE damage output.

In Rift Racer, you must push past waves of enemies, both regular and elite. With Firestorm (via the Scorch skill) and Meteor dealing DoT and AoE damage simultaneously, the Wizard becomes one of the most versatile classes in Diablo Immortal, especially since it can use its ability to use ranged attacks.

The Firestorm and Meteor setup of the Wizards is the perfect build to use in the rifts of Diablo Immortal.

2) Whirlwind HotA Barbarian

Barbarians have consistently dominated in both the PvE and PvP meta of Diablo Immortal, and the Whirlwind HotA Barbarian is the perfect choice for crawling large numbers of enemies in the rifts. The Whirlwind allows you to control the battlefield, and HotA lets you deal concentrated damage to specific targets, ideal for taking down elites.

The build's core strategy revolves around the spin-to-win strategy, making it one of the best builds to play against waves of enemies in Diablo Immortal.

Since the Rift rewards you for faster clears, the constant movement of the Whirlwind skill keeps the flow of the battle going. Combine it with barbarian movement skills like Sprint, and you have an agile build with high AoE capability.

Very few builds are as effective as the Draw and Quarter Crusader’s mobility in the rifts of Diablo Immortal. The build’s core ability revolves around staying mounted and plowing through enemies, dealing massive amounts of damage.

The Crusader moves between packs of enemies using the Draw and Quarter skill while delivering significant amounts of AoE damage, maintaining its natural tanky build at the same time. This mobility makes the Crusader ideal for the Rift Racer event in Diablo Immortal. So if you prefer a build with mounted combat that offers significant area damage output, the Draw and Quarter Crusader is the best option for you.

The Swarm of Bats Blood Knight build relies heavily on the AoE bleed effect, making it another top-tier build option for you to play. The Blood Knight is not just agile; it uses its mobility skills to melt through mobs while keeping your life up. The Blood Knight is one of the most low-maintenance, high-efficiency classes in Diablo Immortal.

The build is extremely effective in elites when using regular mobs for health regeneration while dealing damage, allowing you to stay aggressive without worrying about survivability. The Swarm of Bats skill is effective in both group and solo play, offering both sustainability and constant AoE pressure.

The Mythic Strike Monk is about dealing explosive bursts of AoE damage while zooming between enemies at high speed. This helps in rifts where enemies spawn in groups, allowing you to deal damage to all nearby enemies without losing mobility.

Monks are great at dealing heavy single-target damage, which is effective against elites spawning in rifts, while Mythic Strike allows you to clear out the regular mobs, maintaining a smooth clearing rotation.

If you like a high-risk, high-reward playstyle, the Mythic Strike Monk is the best build you can use in the Rift Race event in Diablo Immortal.

Best-in-slot gears:

Spirit's Reach
Reaching Rebuke
Crippling Insight
Discipline's Weight
Harmony's Song
Chastising Radiance
Set: Windloft Perfection

Rift Racer rewards you for clearing the dungeons faster, so having a build that is not only fast but also capable of taking down tough enemies with efficiency is highly recommended. All of the abovementioned builds are excellent at clearing mobs while keeping up the momentum in high-stakes dungeons in Diablo Immortal.
