Build Overview

This is guide for my League Starter Build - Demon Form Infernalist for 0.3.

This guide will help you pick the gear and gems and will help you out while progressing. It will also explain how the mechanics work and how to teleport through maps while being a Cool Demon.

==========================================================

Endgame (T16) Gameplay + One Shots of all T4 Bosses - https://youtu.be/AH4KiYQilWk

==========================================================

In 0.3 Demon Form received a very big buff and you can now use it WITH WEAPONS.

On top of that you will receive MORE Spell Damage instead of Increased for stacks of Demonflame which should improve the damage a lot.

==========================================================

In this guide we are League Starting Unearth + Contagion and playing with Essence Drain + Contagion through the campaign / early maps.

After that we will be swapping to a combo of Lightning Warp and Ball Lightning to teleport through maps and explode everything!

If you have questions - hit me on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/ronarray), I will help!

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Great Clear
  • Demon form looks cool
  • Fast Movement
  • You leap around
  • Need to get a lot of Regen
  • Jumping into monsters

Build Variants

We can keep using Contagion + Essence Drain later to progress since those stack pretty good with Demon Form

To Survive better it is important to use all items with Energy Shield.

Getting Life Regeneration + Maximum Life on items also should help with maintaining Demon Form stacks.

How it Plays

Map Modifiers

Overall, there are no modifiers that brick the build, however Reduced Life Recovery Rate doesn't really feel that great. Try to avoid it on maps as it can make maps slower to optimally farm.

How it Works

Bugs

If game acts strange (e.g. you're very slow but no debuffs on you in Trial of Chaos, etc) ALWAYS try to exit and reenter Demon Form.
