In Diablo 4, each season has new top-tier builds, and while there are some familiar builds, the strength of the builds will change more or less to meet the needs of different seasons.

Diablo 4 Season 5 provides players with amounts of new unique items and rewards, which serve as strong boosts and powers for players, helping them attack bosses in an easier way. But it is still the choice of classes and builds that determines the player's performance throughout the season.

While Season 5 is still in full swing and the meta is constantly changing, the following 7 builds are currently recognized as the best builds. Let's take a look.

7. Necromancer Minion Build

As one of the top classes in the previous season, Necromancer has been greatly weakened in Season 5. Despite this, it can still cause a lot of damage and upgrade. Necromancer Minion Build is still an important medium for quickly increasing levels. However, it has become much slower in leveling, and will be less effective against the hordes of Lilith. In this case, players can collect some Diablo 4 Gold to get some equipments to better increase the speed and deal with the bosses.

Here are the skills and gear recommended for this build.

Recommended Skills:

• Army of the Dead
• Decrepify
• Corpse Tendrils
• Blood Mist
• Raise Skeleton
• Golem

Recommended Gears:

• Blood Getter’s Aspect - Helm
• Aspect of Hardened Bones - Chest Armor
• Aspect of Reanimation - Gloves
• Aphotic Aspect - Pants
• Aspect of Occult Dominion - Boots
• Blighted Aspect - Weapon

6. Landslide Druid Build

Landslide Druid can deal a lot of damage to enemies in Season 5, and it attacks very quickly. It can preempt enemies before they can launch an attack. It moves fast and can make clear of high-level Pits that other builds may struggle to deal with.

Even if the player doesn't have the highest level gear and skills, this build was still slaying bosses and enemies in a simple way in a World Tier IV Level 100 Pit.

Recommended Skills:

• Poison Creeper
• Earthen Bulwark
• Landslide
• Petrify
• Cyclone Armor
• Trample

Recommended Gears:

• Vasily's Prayer - Helm
• Insatiable Fury - Chest Armor
• Aspect of Retaliation - Gloves
• Tibault's Will - Pants
• Aspect of Metamorphosis - Boots
• Aspect of Aftershock - Weapon

5. Direct Bash Barbarian Build

Direct Bash Barbarian is listed as the highest-rated Barbarian build for this Season. Just using it for regular strikes, billions of direct damage could be created. So it's very capable of dealing damage, and no other forms of passive damage would be produced.

The amount of extra overpower damage it caused is particularly unbelievable. Moreover, high stability also characterizes this build.

Recommended Skills:

• Challenging Shout
• War Cry
• Rallying Cry
• Hammer of the Ancients
• Bash
• Steel Grasp

Recommended Gears:

• Undying Aspect - Helm
• Iron Blood Aspect - Chest Armor
• Paingorger's Gauntlets - Gloves
• Aspect of Might - Pants
• Hectic Aspect - Boots
• Aspect of Moonrise - Weapon
• Edgemaster's Aspect - Weapon

4. Fire Bolt Sorcerer Build

Perhaps because of its long-standing dominance, Fire Bolt Sorcerer build has also been nerfed a bit. But it is of significant power in essence.

The most important part to this build is Shard of Verathiel, a unique Sword that enlarges the damage done by Basic Skills.

While most builds are more effective in the late game, this build is much better with lower-level gear in the early game. So if you are just starting out, this build is a good choice. When you start leveling up or start to collect all of Mother's Gifts this Season, it is the time to change build. That's because there is a more powerful Sorcerer build available.

Recommended Skills:

• Fireball
• Teleport
• Firewall
• Flame Shield
• Frost Bolt
• Fire Bolt

Recommended Gears:

• Harlequin Crest - Helm
• Raiment of Infinite - Chest Armor
• Flameweaver - Gloves
• Hectic Aspect - Pants
• Aspect of Concussive Strikes - Boots
• Shard of Verathiel - Weapon
• Aspect of Moonrise - Weapon

3. Rapid Fire Rogue Build

Rogue class may be used habitually by many players. Rapid Fire Rogue build also has very strong potential. The pairing of Umbrocrux also gives Rapid Fire Rogue infinite power.

Umbracrux refers to a unique dagger equipped with powerful skills of scaling, dexterity, and some tricks. It also enhances your Subterfuge Skills by creating Shade Totems. These skills could create damage when being hurt as could be categorized to Trap Skills.

Recommended Skills:

• Cold Imbuement
• Dash
• Shadow Step
• Caltrops
• Puncture
• Rapid Fire

Recommended Gears:

• Harlequin Crest - Helm
• Umbrous Aspect - Chest Armor
• Rapid Aspect - Gloves
• Aspect of Concussive Strikes - Pants
• Frostbitten Aspect - Boots
• Umbracrux - Weapon
• Aspect of Retribution - Weapon

2. Andariel Rogue Build

Andariel’s Visage remains one of the primary reason making Rogue build S-tier this Season. This is a Mythic Unique item, which means plenty of players could only get in the late stage of the game, and may not be practical for the vast majority of them to get it. This is the reason that deprives the first place on this list.

But if you try hard to get it, then Andariel’s Visage would godsend you an extra life, a high Attack Speed, amounts of Resistance, and a Lucky Hit ability to employ a nova of Poison Damage. This will level up the degree of any other Poison damage, and you should wield other Poison skills to the maximum when using it.

Recommended Skills:

• Shadow Step
• Dash
• Poison Trap
• Poison Imbuement
• Barrage
• Death Trap

Recommended Gears:

• Andariel’s Visage - Helm
• Tyrael’s Might - Chest Armor
• Fists of Fate - Gloves
• Umbrous Aspect - Pants
• Aspect of Concussive Strikes - Boots
• Umbracrux - Weapon
• Aspect of Creeping Death - Weapon

1. Lightning Spear Sorcerer Build

As a Sorcerer build, Lightning Spear Sorcerer takes the first of this list. The damage it has basically comes from two places: Lightning Spear and the new Aspect in Season 5 called Splintering Energy. Therefore, this build can both deal a lot of damage and protect players from damage.

These two damage dealers are main resources to help you achieve this campaign. Moreover, you don’t need any high-level equipment to bless it. I believe that with Lightning Spear Sorcerer build, you will definitely be able to move forward and take the lead in the game.

Recommended Skills:

• Lightning Spear
• Frozen Orb
• Ice Armor
• Teleport
• Unstable Currents
• Flame Shield

Recommended Gears:

• Harlequin Crest - Helm
• Tyrael’s Might - Chest Armor
• Storm Swell Aspect - Gloves
• Tibault’s Will - Pants
• Esu’s Heirloom - Boots
• Aspect of Splintering Energy - Weapon
