How to prepare for the next season of Diablo IV

The next season of Diablo IV begins on April 25th and brings significant changes to the game. For both newcomers and veteran players, early preparation can provide a valuable advantage on the journey to Sanctuary . In this guide, we list the essential steps to start the season off right.

Explore Lilith's Altars to gain permanent bonuses.

Scattered throughout the regions of Diablo IV, the Altars of Lilith offer permanent bonuses that make the character stronger from the start. They are small statues hidden in various locations, and each one grants benefits such as +2 to attributes ( Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, or Willpower ), as well as Paragon and increased capacity for Whispering Obols .

Finding all the altars takes several hours and requires attention. Interactive maps available online help locate each one. The effort is rewarded with a more robust character, prepared to face the initial challenges of the season.

Maximize your regional reputation to unlock valuable resources.

Reaching the maximum renown level in each region of Diablo IV unlocks improvements that remain active when creating a new seasonal character. These benefits include extra skill points, increased potion capacity, more Obols, and Paragon points . For many players, this step is important.

The process requires completing side missions, exploring areas of the map , clearing dungeons, and collecting items. The sooner this is done, the greater the advantage at the start of the new season.

Secure your mount by completing the correct mission.

In a world as vast as Sanctuary, moving around on foot is a time-consuming task. Therefore, unlocking a horse is essential. To do this, you need to complete the quest "Donan's Favor," available in Act Four of the main campaign.

Once unlocked, the horse becomes available to all subsequently created characters, provided the campaign has already been completed. This saves time and speeds up progress, especially in the first few hours of the new Diablo IV season.

Join a clan in Diablo IV and play with constant allies.

While it's possible to play Diablo IV solo, having a fixed group can make progress much easier. Clans offer a support network for exchanging tips , organizing groups, and even facilitating access to events and world bosses.

Players who prefer social interaction or wish to focus on specific goals—such as PvP, PvE, or rapid progression—find clans an ideal environment. There are active communities on forums and social networks geared exclusively towards Brazilian players.

Study the classes and choose the one that best suits your style.

When a new season begins, all players start from scratch. Therefore, understanding how the classes work and choosing the one that best suits your playstyle is fundamental. Barbarian, Sorcerer, Necromancer, Rogue, and Druid remain available, but the new Spiritborn promises to shake up the game's balance.

Although the "meta" is not yet clear, there are indications that Spiritborn will have a major impact. Even so, all classes are viable, and the right choice depends on individual preference and in-game goals.

Prepare builds in advance based on what has already been revealed.

The first details about the new skills and mechanics of the season indicate important changes to the loot system and how builds (skill and equipment configurations) work. Getting ahead and creating preliminary build versions can save time and resources when the season begins.

Guides created by community members, streamers, and specialized websites help you understand which paths are promising. Having ready-made options reduces the need for improvisation and increases efficiency in progression.

Stay tuned for Diablo IV updates and patch notes.

Blizzard typically releases patch before the launch of a new season. Reading these documents carefully allows you to understand changes to abilities, systems, and items. Balance adjustments can alter the performance of an entire build.

Staying informed avoids surprises and allows you to make better choices from the start. Websites like the official Blizzard site, forums, and social media are good sources for keeping up with these updates.

Good preparation guarantees an advantage and more fun.

Starting a new season in Diablo IV is an opportunity to experience new things and compete for positions in the rankings. With advance preparation — collecting Lilith's Altars, maximizing renown, choosing a suitable class, and planning builds — it's possible to get ahead.

The game is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PC. The new season begins on April 25th, and until then, it's worth investing time in preparation. The war against the demons of Sanctuary continues—and only the well-prepared will emerge victorious.
