Diablo 4 Consumables Enhanced in Season 5

Diablo IV Season 5 Leaked: New Consumables and Infernal Hordes Mode Unveiled!

Exciting news for Diablo IV players! Data mining reveals Season 5 will introduce a thrilling new endgame mode, "Infernal Hordes," alongside four brand-new consumables, exclusively for this challenging roguelite experience. Details are emerging from this week's Public Test Realm (PTR) opening.

Consumables in Diablo IV enhance gameplay by providing temporary buffs or restoring resources. They're typically acquired through monster slaying, chest looting, crest opening, or merchant purchases. Existing types include healing potions, elixirs (offering boosts like increased armor), and incense (enhancing maximum life or elemental resistances). Season 5 significantly expands this arsenal.

According to Wowhead's discoveries, four new consumables are on the horizon:

  • Antipathy: A rare anointment boosting resistances.
  • Blackblood: A common anointment improving a random core stat.
  • Vitriol: A magical anointment increasing damage over time.
  • Triune Anointment Cache: A new cache containing anointments, rare gear, and crafting materials.

These consumables are specifically designed for the Infernal Hordes mode. Importantly, crafting recipes for these anointments have been found, suggesting player creation will be possible.

Infernal Hordes: A Roguelite Endgame Challenge

Infernal Hordes presents a wave-based combat experience. Each 90-second wave requires players to defeat all enemies before selecting from three modifiers influencing subsequent waves. Greater difficulty equals better rewards, as expected. Similar to Helltides' Profane Mindcage Elixir, Abyssal Scrolls will be available to increase the challenge.

While the PTR remains open until July 2nd, many details regarding the new consumables remain shrouded in mystery. Players eagerly await further information on acquisition methods, usage costs, and the specific crafting materials required for the anointments. Stay tuned for updates!
