When you're done, just make sure to create/rebirth a seasonal character and log in there first, don't log into the game on Non-Season. Double-checking is recommended as the season start can sometimes be slightly delayed and not happen precisely down to the second. There will be a system message displaying in chat, a pop-up notification on your screen and you can also check your friends list for seasonal heroes if you're unsure. Seasons always begin on a Friday at 5PM server time (CET in EU, PST in NA) and you can prepare the run in a way that you have the rift guardian spawned and kill it immediately when the season begins. However, don't complete it(don't kill the Rift Guardian) before the Season Start notification has popped up. You don't actually need to have a seasonal character to collect the rewards from a Challenge Rift there later. It's recommended that you use the Inarius armor set for maximum effectiveness.You can start the Challenge Rift before the season begins, which will give you a Challenge Rift Reward Cache containing a good bunch of crafting materials, 475 Blood Shard s and 5.1 millions Gold to kickstart your leveling process.

You'll play with a melee style here, thanks to the Grim Scythe ability. This build was created by Deadset, a professional Diablo III player. Blood & Bone: Blood Rush – Rune: Potency.Reanimation: Command Skeletons – Rune: Frenzy.Secondary: Skeletal Mage – Rune: Singularity.Primary: Bone Spikes – Rune: Sudden Impact.When things get too hectic, use Blood Rush to teleport away from the fray (at a small cost to your health). Summon Skeletal Mages and use Command Skeletons to provide yourself an army, augmenting your attacks with the Frailty curse. This build uses Bone Spikes and Devour to keep the essence coming in. For this build, we've chosen skills that become available at early levels and remain worthwhile as you work your way up to 70.
