Diablo Immortal: The Best Speed Farm Blood Knight
Whirling Strike Dash Blood Knight Guide
This Whirling Strike Dash Blood Knight is the fastest speed farm Blood Knight build and it's decent in PvP New Mode as well. Its very fast movement speed from dash attacks makes it a great option for contested tower runs, daily quests, and speed dungeon clears. The build uses the Whirling Strike dash ability along with Shadow's Edge, Skewer, Mephitic Cloud, and Swarm of Bats. With the recommended essences Mephitic Cloud deals damage in an area around you and can increase your movement speed. Whirling Strike dashes forward pulling enemies with you and Skewer dashes forward dragging enemies, immobilizing enemies, and stunning already immobilized enemies. The Whirling Strike dash attack and Skewer dash attack also each have two charges which allows you to repeatedly use dash attacks to deal damage.

​​

2. Golden Firmament - Causes ranged wind attacks and increases your evasion rating.
3. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.

8. ​Frozen Heart (PvP) - A strong legendary gem for PvP that gives an absorb shield and chills opponents.
Note: When using the new Blood Floe critical hit chance/critical hit damage legendary gem the Mother's Lament two star critical hit chance legendary gem is strong and can take the place of a five star gem at lower resonance levels.
​
Best 2 Star Legendary Gems
1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies with a continual damage effect on them.
2. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and causes a blood spike that makes enemies bleed.
3. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

​5. Mourneskull - This legacy gem is drop disabled but it can still be used to increase your damage and deals damage.
6. Igneous Scorn (PvM) - Can be used with Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament to deal damage on critical hits. Igneous Scorn is the lowest priority 2 star gem and should be the first to be replaced with a ranked up 5 star gem.
7. Crimson Behelit (PvP) - Strong PvP gem that gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.
Note: Seeping Bile and the Viper's Bite aren't needed to trigger the damage increase on Pain Clasp from there being a continual damage on the enemy because you already have continual damage from Mephitic Cloud and Swarm of Bats.
​
Best 1 Star Legendary Gems
1. Berserker's Eye - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.
2. Everlasting Torment - A great budget option that deals damage over time on critical hits and increases your attack speed.
3. Entropic Well - A great budget one star gem for increased skill damage that can be replaced with a strong 5 star gem.
Note: Berserker's Eye is a great one star legendary gem that requires a high ranked up 5 star gem to match its damage.
​
Best Familiars
1. Savior Duskprowler - The best option is a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler that has Savior which provides a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience lowers the cooldown for Savior but can be lower to make the familiar more affordable.
2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Can have Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.
3. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives the shield critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.
4. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.
Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.
​
Normal Gems
Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects duration in yellow sockets. You should also socket your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances into one Ruby and one Topaz and use one of each in your equipment for higher refinement. Refinement is determined by the quality of the gems and is used to increase the attributes on the equipment the gem is socketed in.
​
Gem Notes
The Blood Floe gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Colossus Engine legendary gem is recommended for this build because it helps with burst damage. The fairly new Specter Glass legendary gem is one of the best two star gems for almost every build. The Viper's Bite and Seeping Bile legendary gems aren't need to trigger the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem from there being continual damage on the enemy because you will already have continual damage from your Mephitic Cloud skill. Golden Firmament is a very strong 5 star legendary gem that has wind damage, increased evasion rating, and it triggers Firestorms when mixed with burning damage which increases your wind damage. Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament give increased critical hit chance so you should consider rolling critical hit damage on your equipment with Reforge Stones when using them. A low priority gems should also be replaced with a Frozen Heart in PvP for an absorb shield and to chill opponents.​
