While solo play isn't a terrible idea, it is clear that the mobile-centric title has a focus on co-operative multiplayer. This makes the Crusader class the best available for party players.

The best Diablo Immortal Class is the Crusader

The Crusader is the most versatile class in Diablo Immortal. It has incredible area-of-effect attacks and abilities that buff the player and their allies, along with defensive capabilities, from having the highest base health in the game.

It is a brutal tank class that can stay fighting while dishing out some of the deadliest attacks available. The Crusader can be described as none other than a powerhouse.

Players can make it work solo or be the focal point of a party when it comes to taking out enemies and keeping the group alive. This is a great class for new players who want to get comfortable with the game, no matter their style of play.

Weaknesses do need to be discussed, however. Despite its ability to tank hits and massacre enemies, it does come with long cooldowns, low single target damage, and is very reliant on its skills rather than its basic attacks.

Compared to all of the other classes in Diablo Immortal, those weaknesses are extremely easy to work around. Having a good team to back up the Crusader while waiting for a cooldown to end will ensure its role remains intact.

  • Condemn: Release a massive explosion to deal damage after three seconds or detonate early for less damage in a smaller area.
