For more information regarding followers, we advise you to read our follower guide, which contains detailed advice on choosing the skills and the gear of your companion.
This build has been retired in Season 22. We removed it from the menus, but we are leaving it on the site, in case a new Firebird Archon build appears in the future.
Introduction
The most reworked set in Diablo history, the Firebird's Finery set nevertheless retains many of its characteristics: damage building up over time, immolating entire screens of enemies, and the constant pursuit of a larger fire. This guide merges Firebird with the powers of Archon into a bursty playstyle that is available in both Greater Rift solo progression (the present guide) and speed farming (see link just below) variations.
