The Diablo Immortal Crusader brings to the cast of playable classes the closest experience to what one can think of as a templar.

This class is easy to master, and has an amazing kit for you to face lots of enemies at the same time, and protect your allies in the hellish corridors you may find yourselves. Call for your holy powers to shield everyone, or to slash the evil you are facing.

To work your way through Diablo Immortal’s content with this class, you must learn how to prepare your Crusader - with this page explaining best skills, gear, gems, and how to use your Paragon Points to be the greatest Crusader you can be.

If you are interested in other Diablo Immortal classes, we also have a deep dive into the Necromancer.

As the mighty warrior carrying a giant shield and using holy spells to damage and shield themselves, the crusader is an amazing class, including for beginners. It is by nature a tank class, made to deal with large groups of enemies while having great tools for survivability.

When in battle, the Crusader has the capacity to do a considerable amount of damage, but the class is not supposed to be the greatest DPS (damage per second) in a party for example. So it is important to keep in mind that when playing solo, you are not going to burst enemies.

At the same time, it is very unlikely you will die easily even when facing waves of enemies simultaneously.

Although the Crusader in Diablo Immortal does not excel in terms of damage, it will shine when grouping many enemies so you or your party can combo, clearing locations pretty easily.

And all of that is accomplished by following simple rotations of skills whose aim is to mitigate damage. One of your main tools is to basically keep attacking since the best basic attack of the Crusader will increase the chance of blocking attacks as you use it.

Besides that, the Crusader’s kit offers players amazing crowd control skills, area-of-effect damage, and movement.

In case you are planning on going through Diablo Immortal’s content in a group, the Crusader will also be a great option.

It brings a lot of utility for the party members, stacking enemies so a wizard or a demon hunter can combo with any of their powerful attacks.

Crusader has buffs and shields which will prove worth having one of them in the party when facing danger.

The set of skills listed aim to provide the capacity to tank damage while controlling groups of enemies so you can damage all of them at once.

This is a build made thinking you may face most content offered by the game solo, so keeping yourself alive until the end of a dungeon is our top priority.

The following equipment listed here was picked to improve the skills we have chosen.

However, since Crusader’s role may vary depending on the situation, you may need to consider new pieces of gear to synergize with skills more focused on contexts you are in a group for example.

It is also important to keep in mind that Strength and Fortitude are the most important attributes for a Crusader, so while you haven’t found the specific parts we mention here, you should focus on using equipment that has these two attributes.

For the secondary items (Hands, Feet, Waist, Neck, and two Fingers), you should look for the Windloft Perfection set. These items will not only increase your damage but also give you a shield to mitigate damage.

Gems are a fundamental aspect of the build, but some of them are not easy to get your hands on.

Diablo Immortal is here! If you're just getting started, you'll want to know the best class for beginners - including the Necromancer and Crusader - and the current battle pass rewards. Our Legendary Gems and Charms guides can help you achieve the strongest build, and we also have handy maps for every Hidden Lair location, and a light nine lamps puzzle solution.

In Diablo Immortal, Paragon is a system unlocked once you reach level 60 with your character. Every time you level up after this point will grant you a Paragon Point.

Although this system will increase important attributes, the first levels are pretty basic for every class since the idea is to make progression easy.

So, focus on placing your points initially at the Vanquisher tree up until you get Paragon level 50. Then you can start progressing in the Treasure Hunter tree.
