3 Unsullied Blade Rosa Build (Frost Spike)

If you’re looking for a build focusing on Mana, select Rosa 2 (Unsullied Blade) when beginning Torchlight: Infinite’s Campaign. However, the weapon will also play a crucial part in this build, alongside the Frost Spike Skill. Rosa 2’s Level 1 Trait “Unsullied Blade” focuses on the resource Mercury, and thanks to this, she can reach the Mystic Mercury or Realm of Mercury state.

When Mystic Mercury is active, using non-Channeled Attack Skills grants Mercury Pts, consuming 10% of Unsealed Max Mana. After reaching the Mercury value limit, Mystic Mercury transforms into Realm of Mercury, gaining bonus Attack Speed and Elemental Damage for every 10% Unsealed Max Mana and recovering Unsealed Max Mana while using non-Channeled Attack Skills.

While Mana is important, it’s not the foundation for this build. The weapon and the skills are. The skill setup focuses on increasing your Weapon Attack Damage and enhancing mobility on the battlefield, and you can start creating this Torchlight: Infinite Build with the following requirements:

• Traits and Memories:
  • Level 1: Unsullied Blade
  • Level 45: Baptism of Purity – Offers additional Mana inside the Realm of Mercury and it casts Mercury Baptism on all targets, gaining Mercury Pts and inflicting an Elemental Infilitration Effect of the same type as the most serious recorded damage. (Memory of Origin: +90 Intelligence)
  • Level 60: Boundless Sanctuary – For a specific amount of Max Mana you have, the area of the Realm of Mercury increases by 10% and for every enemy inside it, you deal additional Elemenental Damage. (Memory of Discipline: +330 Max Life)
  • Level 75: Born to Cleanse – Additional Mana Restoration for Realm of Mercury and Mystic Mercury offers additional Elemental Damage. When Mystic Mercury is active, you deal bonus damage with your Main-Hand Weapon. (Memory of Progress: +36% Attack Speed)
• Skills:
  • Frost Spike: Deals bonus Weapon Attack Damage and shoots 2 Projectiles in its base state (max 5). (Setup: Haunt – Glacial Freeze – Added Cold Damage – Precision Strike)
  • Life Source: Restores Max Life swiftly, and killing enemies increases the Charging process of this skill. (Setup: Auto-Charge)
  • Spiral Strike: Deals massive Weapon Attack Damage multiple times, and the caster’s Attack Speed makes the skill deal bonus damage more frequently. (Setup: Quick Mobility)
  • Charging Warcry: Taunts enemies and increases the Tracking Area for Shadow Strike Skills while it’s active. (Setup: Extended Duration)
  • Timid: Curses enemies within an area, and cursed enemies take additional Hit Damage in Torchlight: Infinite.
• Auras:
  • Acuteness Focus: Activates Focus to deal additional Physical Damage with a chance to inflict Trauma. Acute Strike deals increased Weapon Attack Damage.
  • Fearless: Boosts Critical Strike Rating for Melee Skills and allows you to deal additional Melee Skill Damage.
• Talent Tree:
  • God Tree: Goddess of Hunting (for Notable Talents: Perception and Rushed – grants Agility Blessings and additional damage for continuous movement, respectively)
  • Class Tree: Bladerunner (for Notable Talent: Joined Force – increases the final damage of the Main-Hand Weapon)
  • Tree 3: Prophet (for Notable Talent: Extreme Coldness – increases Max Frostbite Rating and you can only deal Cold Damage)
  • Tree 4: Lich (for Notable Talent: Off The Beaten Track – increases Support Skill Level)
• Gear:
  • Scarlet Decree (Legendary Helmet)
  • Despised Shadow (Legendary Necklace)
  • Desire of Survival (Legendary Belt)
  • Silver Frost (Legendary Rings 1 & 2)
  • Oathkeeper (Legendary Weapons 1 & 2)

You don’t need to worry about Pactspirits or Divinity Slates for this Rosa 2 Campaign Build in Torchlight: Infinite. For your Body Armor, Gloves and Boots, you can equip any Rare items. Give gear some focus, but the bread and butter of this build is the weapon and the skills, especially Frost Spike, as it boosts your primary Weapon Attack Damage.

While this build was optimal for the Vorax season, it’ll work just as well during Season 12: Lunaria, so you don’t need to worry. For visual information on how this build works, check out DonTheCrown’s video.

2 Thea Starter Build (Chain Lightning)

Use the Wisdom of The Gods to create a blessed build! | Credits: XD

This build is for Oracle Thea 1 (Wisdom of The Gods) players looking for a strong start in Torchlight: Infinite Season 12: Lunaria, bringing Chain Lightning and Movement Speed to the table. Her playstyle is dependent on Blessings to tear through enemies, and thanks to her Level 1 Trait “Wisdom of The Gods”, she gains a Divine Blessing every 2 seconds in the following order, but your sights should be on Focus Blessing.

Blessing generation is a key part of her kit in Torchlight: Infinite, and with her Level 1 Trait Skill, she can cast God’s Boon, which consumes all Focus Blessings and offers her buffs, such as bonus damage. So, your undivided attention should be on generating Focus, while the other Blessings can take a backseat for this build. With that said, here’s everything you’ll need to create this overpowered starter build for Thea 1:

• Traits and Memories:
  • Level 1: Wisdom of The Gods
  • Level 45: Divine Prophecy – When all Blessing stacks are maxed, and God’s Boon is inactive, Thea will automatically activate God’s Boon, and this Trait offers a chance to gain additional Blessing stacks, resulting in bonus damage for every Blessing at max stacks. (Memory of Origin: +90 Intelligence)
  • Level 60: Predicted Reincarnation – Increases God’s Boon Cooldown Recovery Speed for every Focus Blessing stack consumed, and offers additional damage if God’s Boon consumes max stacks of Focus Blessing. (Memory of Discipline: +525 Max Energy Shield)
  • Level 75: Farewell Prophecy – Provides Double Damage for each stack of Focus Blessing consumed by God’s Boon in Torchlight: Infinite. (Memory of Progress: +30% Movement Speed)
• Skills:
  • Chain Lightning: Deals massive Spell Lightning Damage, killing individual targets and crowds. (Setup: Control Spell – Added Lightning Damage – Lightning to Cold – Quick Decision)
  • Life Tonic: Restores Max Life, and defeating enemies will increase the Charging Process of this Skill. (Setup: Hyper Metabolism)
  • Frigid Transmission: Deals significant Spell Cold Damage and inflicts Frostbite while dealing Hit Cold Damage. (Setup: Quick Mobility – Magic Dash)
  • Secret Origin Unleash: Gains Euphoria, boosts Cast Speed for every stack of Focus Blessing you have while the skill is active, and deals additional Spell Damage during it. (Setup: Preparation – Mass Effect – Well-Fought Battle – Extended Duration)
  • Timid: Curses enemies within an area, and cursed enemies take more Hit Damage. (Setup: Terrain of Malice – Extended Duration)
• Auras:
  • Precise: Spell Amplification: Additional Spell Damage (Setup: Restrain – Aura Amplification – Increased Area)
  • Electric Conversion: Additional Lightning Damage (Setup: Restrain – Aura Amplification – Increased Area)
  • Frigid Domain: Additional Cold Damage (Setup: Restrain – Aura Amplification – Increased Area)
  • Energy Fortress: Boosts and offers additional Max Energy Shield in Torchlight: Infinite. (Setup: Restrain – Aura Amplification – Seal Conversion)
• Talent Tree:
  • God Tree: Goddess of Knowledge (for Notable Talents: Beacon and Burning Touch increase Max Spell Burst and enhance Spell Aggression Effect for every Main Spell Skill cast recently, respectively)
  • Class Tree: Magister (for Notable Talent: Play Safe – all bonuses to Cast Speed are also applied to Spell Burst Charge Speed and offer additional Hit Damage for skills cast by Spell Burst)
  • Tree 3: Assassin (for Notable Talent: Transition – provides a chance to deal additional damage when casting a skill)
  • Tree 4: Lich (for Notable Talent: Off The Beaten Track – increases Support Skill Level))
• Gear:
  • All Magic Crown (Rare Helmet)
  • All Magic Secret Robe (Rare Chest Armor)
  • Old Grudge (Legendary Necklace)
  • All Magic Grip (Rare Gloves)
  • Elder Sage Girdle (Rare Belt)
  • All Magic Shoes (Rare Boots)
  • Frozen Lightning (Legendary Ring 1)
  • Everknight Darkness Ring (Rare Ring 2)
  • Southern Cross Staff (Rare Weapon)

Dealing Lightning and Elemental damage is where the focus of this build’s skills is, further elevated by the Auras listed above that provide additional Elemental Damage. They work hand-in-hand to enhance your overall Spell, Lightning and Cold Damage, and it’s also dependent on gear, especially the Legendary Frozen Lightning Ring. So, setting up the skills to synergise perfectly is your priority above all else in this build.

Since God’s Boon offers bonuses such as additional damage, the Traits and skills above are the best as they balance both devastating offense and stone-cold defence, all while generating Focus Blessings rapidly for God’s Boon to consume and significantly increasing damage in the process.

As a starter, you don’t need to focus on Pactspirits or Divinity Slates. Your strategy should be to generate Focus Blessings and utilizing God’s Boon to make the most of Thea 1 in Season 12: Lunaria. Check out YouTuber DonTheCrown’s video, who created this Torchlight: Infinite build.

1 Sage Starter Build (Chromatic Shot)

Torchlight: Infinite’s Season 12: Lunaria introduced Sage as the newest hero with the new Trait “Licorice Note”, and if you want to master her playstyle, you’ll need a build focused on the Chromatic Shot skill to power through the Campaign. Her new Elixir-based skills include Compound Tonic, Swiftness Dew or Thirst Dew, all fantastic skills that can be made even better with the right setup.

Triggering Licorice Note turns your second Active Skill Slot into a Basic Scent Bottle Slot, so you can add 2 Ingredients to this Slot that’ll be activated with the socketed Elixir, gaining bonus damage and defense, perfect for maximising Sage’s survivability and her offensive capabilities. Once you add 2 Ingredients to the Elixir Skills from Basic Scent Bottles, you’ll obtain their base effects. Now, let’s dive into this Torchlight: Infinite build’s specifics:

• Traits and Memories:
  • Level 1: Licorice Note
  • Level 45: Pungent Stimulant Salt – Adds more charges to your Elixirs and randomly prepares an installed Empower or Curse Skill when an Elixir Skill of the Basic Scent Bottle is active. (Memory of Origin: +90 Intelligence)
  • Level 60: Elixir of Immortality – Excess life is converted to Temporary Life, excess Mana restoration is converted to Temporary Mana, and allows Sage to deal bonus damage. (Memory of Discipline: +330 Max Life)
  • Level 75: Everlasting Nectar – A percentage of the bonus applied to Max Life or Max Mana is also applied to Elixir Skill Effect. (Memory of Progress: +30% Movement Speed)
• Skills (Level – Chromatic):
  • Chromatic Shot: Shoots 3 bolts that deal Cold, Fire or Lightning Damage and offers a chance for enemies to explode when defeated by this skill. (Setup: Jump – Multiple Projectiles – Elemental Projectiles – Wind Projectiles)
  • Compound Tonic: Restores Max Life and Mana. (Setup: Hyper Metabolism – Medicinal Buildup)
  • Swfitness Dew: Massively increases Movement Speed for a duration. (Setup: Hyper Metabolism – Medicinal Buildup)
  • Mana Boil: Gains Euphoria and provides additional Spell Damage while the Skill lasts. (Setup: Well-Fought Battle – Mass Effect)
  • Timid: Curses enemies, and the cursed enemies take additional Hit Damage. (Setup: Terrain of Malice – Extended Duration – Cooldown Reduction)
• Auras:
  • Summon Thunder Magus: Summons 1 Thunder Magus in Torchlight: Infinite.
  • Spell Amplification: Additional Spell Damage.
  • Swiftness: Increases Movement Speed.
• Talent Tree:
  • God Tree: Goddess of Knowledge (for Notable Talents: Beacon and Burning Touch – increases Max Spell Burst and boosts Spell Aggression Effect for every Main Spell Skill cast recently, respectively)
  • Class Tree: Elementalist (for Notable Talent: Penetrating – Deals Elemental Infiltration when dealing Elemental Damage, offering bonus Elemental Damage for each type of Infiltration Effect the enemy has)
  • Tree 3: Marksman (for Notable Talent: Gale – Scales Projectile Speed bonus with Projectile Damage)
  • Tree 4: Steel Vanguard (for Notable Talent: Tailored Remedy – offers additional Elixir Skill Effect when equipped with 2 Elixir Skills)
• Pactspirits:
  • Dreamweaver: Increases Elemental Damage, Elemental Piercing and Cast Speed (Setup: Up to Elemental Mastery – bonus Elemental Damage dealt by Spell Skills)
  • Elixir Fairies: Increases Damage and Movement Speed (Setup: Up to Open Wide! – boosts Elixir Skill Effect)
  • Preserver of Eternity: Increases Elemental Resistance, damage avoidance and XP Protection (Setup: Up to Graceful Pace – Increases Movement Speed)
• Gear:
  • Rock Lizard’s Skull (Legendary Helmet)
  • Chain of Resistance (Legendary Necklace)
  • Desire of Survival (Legendary Belt)
  • Unholy Prayer (Legendary Ring)
  • Fire Lord’s Promise (Legendary Weapons)
  • Grace Boots (Legendary Boots)
  • Golden Touch (Legendary Gloves)

Once you defeat the dragon boss at the end of Torchlight: Infinite’s campaign, lock the Memory of Discipline that you obtained to avoid removing it from your loadout. As for Divinity Slates, purchase ones that increase Projectile Speed or Cold/Fire/Lightning/Spell levels, and you’ll be mowing down waves of enemies without slowing down. Your skills and Auras should always complement the playstyle that comes with Chromatic Shot.

Chromatic Shot scales with Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence, so those should be your stat priority. Regardless, you’ll have to use Sage’s Elixir-based kit smartly to move swiftly across the battlefield while using Chromatic Shot to deal significant Elemental Damage. YouTuber DonTheCrown curated this build, and you can check out his video for more information on how it works.

These are the top 3 best builds in Torchlight: Infinite. Now, all you need to do is run with these builds and slay as many enemies and bosses as possible.
