The following skills are great to use for 1-70 if you don't have any other strong damage multipliers available. Be sure to check our Challenge Rift guides to be properly prepared and not potentially waste valuable leveling time when it might be a particularly difficult one on a season start. If you want to be safe and don't feel the need to squeeze out every second at the start, just wait until you have created your seasonal character.Ĭhallenge Rifts rift always reset on Monday (for NA, 1PM PST) or Tuesday (for EU, 4AM CET) and season starts always happen on Friday, so during that week you have to wait with the rift.

Best case, try to practice the run, learn how to reach the Rift Guardian quickly and then leave once you are confident you can replicate that easily. Keep in mind there are some risks involved here because if you accidentally complete it too early you will lose your chance to get the reward or you might run out of time and have to restart the run after the season has gone live.

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.

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.
