Each nearby enemy afflicted with agony increases your Attack Speed by 1%. Each enemy can only be affected by this once every 6 seconds. Unlocks at Rank 3

The majority of these are considered the best because they enhance the Crusader's three main strengths: AoE damage, Continuous damage, and Guaranteed Critical Hits.

Bottled Hope, on the other hand, increases the effectiveness of a Crusader's buffs to themselves and their party. Granting additional damage and movement speed for each activation of skills such as Holy Banner and Conjuration of Light.

8	Falling Sword	Impale your holy sword at a location where it deals X damage over 5 seconds to all nearby enemies. Activate again to launch yourself into the heavens and come crashing down at the sword's location, dealing Y damage to all nearby enemies and retrieving the sword.
15	Draw and Quarter	Mount a celestial war horse for 5 seconds, dispelling all movement impairing effects, increasing your movement speed by 60%, and replacing your Primary Attack. Holy chains will bind up to 8 nearby monsters, dragging them as you ride and repeatedly dealing X damage.

Spinning Shield

Spinning Shield is one of the best Crusader skills in Diablo Immortal due to its versatility. Depending on your build and legendaries, this skill can be a strong source of AoE and single-target damage or a skill that can gather mobs from a decent range.

Falling Sword

Similar to Spinning Shield, Falling Sword is rated highly for Crusaders because of its versatility in offense and utility. It has a surprisingly low cooldown too, making it a nice addition to almost any meta build out there.

Draw and Quarter

Draw and Quarter is one of the best Crusader skills because of how much value you get from its buffs. This insane skill grants you significant boosts to movement and attack speed, dispells any binding effects on your Crusader upon activation, and lets you chain enemies for easier mob pulling while phasing through them!

This skill can also be improved further through legendaries such as Sivket's Advantage, Besieger, and Bladed Jambeau. These three legendaries turns your Crusader into a mounted DPS machine, which takes the Draw and Quarter's efficiency to even greater heights.

Consecration

Consecration is a great damage skill that you can get fairly early in the game. Unlocked at level 20, Crusaders can pretty much breeze through mobs primarily via proper Consecration placements in dungeons, rifts, and other forms of PvE content.

Holy Banner

Holy Banner is arguably the best skill for Crusaders as it grants you and your allies guaranteed critical hits for its entire duration! This means you and your allies deal nothing but yellow and orange numbers for 11 seconds — granted that proper timing and placement are observed.

The need for the latter is virtually removed if you have the Arrowkeeper headpiece, as this legendary piece essentially turns you into the source of the buff itself.

Best Crusader Build Stats

Strength is a Crusader's main stat, which should always be the highest priority regardless of the build. Compliment this with your usual staples for DPS such as Critical Hit Chance, Critical Hit Damage, and Fortitude. Lastly, Vitality is another staple that Crusaders will need to pump regardless of build — damage doesn't matter if you don't have enough survivability to dish it out!
