Boss Killer Build Tier List
If you want to challenge the most powerful bosses in Diablo 4, such as the Echo of Lilith, you will have an easier time with the right build for your class. To this end, we have created this tier list, in which we rank the best builds for each class based on their damage output, efficiency, and survivability against challenging bosses. Keep in mind, that lower than A-Tier builds can also defeat Lilith and other difficult bosses, but S-Tier has a clear advantage for it.
Please also note that the rankings are based on a max Level (60) character with multiple Paragon boards unlocked, so lower-level characters will be weaker regardless of the build, but the relative rankings should not differ much at lower levels.
This build tier list is up to date as of December 11th, 2024, and accounts for all the balance patches since Diablo 4 was launched (including seasons).
If you want to learn more about the best endgame push builds, speed farming builds, leveling builds, or overall class rankings, you can check out our other tier lists below. Simply click on the one you are interested in.
Keep in mind that these tier lists are based on our own views and experiences, and that they may change over time as the game changes and new updates are released. In the end, the best class and build for any player is the one that matches your playstyle, preferences, and goals. We recommend everyone to try out and have fun with different combinations and options, because each class has unique abilities, and players should choose one that fits their version of fun.
