Diablo Immortal Demon Hunter build - best skills for leveling

Skills
Crossbow Shot
Knockback Shot (swap for Sentry when able)
Multishot
Rain of Vengeance
Strafe (swap for Daring Swing when able)

The basic attack for the Demon Hunter, Crossbow Shot, is a really solid skill. Although it slows you down to use it, Crossbow Shot can do very high damage on a single creature. The class' ultimate, Volley, then increases this damage and movement speed.

Knockback Shot is an essential pairing with Crossbow Shot early on. The Demon Hunter benefits from range, and Knockback Shot will push your enemies out there. If you ever feel crowded, it's a good way to get some room and avoid taking substantial damage.

Multishot, Rain of Vengeance and Strafe all provide area damage. When paired with proper mob management, they all work to burn down groups of demons at record speed.

When you get to level 15, it's worth swapping out Strafe for Daring Swing, allowing you to do damage to a cluster of enemies whilst being temporarily invulnerable. It's not the most powerful skill out there, but the added mobility should help get you around the map faster as well. Just be careful around obstacles.

Lastly, Sentry will round off the Diablo Immortal Demon Hunter build until level 60. Replacing Knockback Shot, this skill allows you to summon two little turrets to do much of the shooting for you. Kite your enemies around with Daring Swing while these are up, and you'll shoot them down without ever getting hit.

Best legendary gems for Demon Hunter in Diablo Immortal

Legendary Gem Priority
Everlasting Torment
Fervant Fang
Berserker's Eye

You may spot this for most Diablo Immortal classes, but Everlasting Torment is one of the very best gems in the game. It synergises well with most classes and tends to ramp up your damage over time.

Next, Fervant Fang is an excellent high priority damage boost. If you're looking to take down a single creature, this is an absolutely necessary gem and worth throwing into your build.

Lastly, the Berserker's Eye is a really solid choice, dealing extra damage at the cost of taking a little bit more. As the Demon Hunter is a ranged class, you shouldn't struggle too much here but you can really get punished if you're caught so it's worth bearing in mind.

Diablo Immortal Demon Hunter build - Paragon traits and best slots

Paragon Page
Skills
Vanquisher
Damage, Zeal

As Paragon Traits are more of an end-game stat choice, we won't go too in-depth here. Initially, follow the Vanquisher page, putting points into Damage followed by Zeal.

Both of these options will allow you to do as much damage as you possibly can as soon as you hit 60. As Demon Hunter can spread their damage and take down enemies quickly, Zeal is a great choice for a quick and easy boost as you open the floodgates for bigger enemies in the endgame.

It's worth putting points into the right places. The Demon Hunter can feel a little slow, but its damage really ramps up quickly at higher levels. Make sure to use their huge attack to pummel your enemies as much as you can.

Over time, we'll add a Diablo Immortal Demon Hunter PVP build to this page as well, and even go over in more detail the endgame equipment and skills to look out for. Until then, check out our Diablo Immortal controller support guide to play on your couch, desk, on wherever else you end up.
