For the supplied AOE Crusader setup in Diablo Immortal, use Sacred Banner, Consecration, Spinning Shield, and Draw and Quarter. It is framed for group PvE—dungeons, raids, and open-world combat—not as a single-target or PvP build.
Set up the four skills
- Sacred Banner: The build’s central skill. Use it for group encounters and prioritize cooldown reduction to make it available more often.
- Consecration: Adds area damage around you. Activate it before engaging a cluster.
- Spinning Shield: The setup’s other area-damage skill. The draft recommends essences that extend its orbit or let it hit more enemies, but it does not name specific essences.
- Draw and Quarter: Provides mobility for repositioning and gathering enemies near your combat area.
Choose essences and position the banner
Check your Essence Library for effects that modify Sacred Banner or Spinning Shield. The draft prioritizes longer banner duration or an effect that lets the banner follow you, plus Spinning Shield effects that extend its orbit or increase the number of targets it can hit. It does not specify which legendary items provide those effects, so confirm the available descriptions in your own library rather than relying on an item name from this guide.
When the banner must be placed, aim to cover the enemy cluster and nearby allies. If your selected essence makes the banner follow you, use that effect to avoid staying in one spot. The build’s value is described as strongest in groups, where allies can take advantage of the banner.
When to use a different setup
The draft identifies spread-out, mobile boss encounters and high-difficulty PvP as poor fits for this AOE-focused setup. Keep a separate build for those situations if you need one; no specific alternative skills or gear are provided here.

Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
This guide answered the exact question I had.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
