Best Faction: Should You Join Shadows or Immortals?

In Diablo Immortal, the Shadows and the Immortals are the two main rival factions in the Cycle of Strife. Read on to learn about more about the best faction to join, other factions in the game, and more about factions!

Should You Join Shadows or Immortals?

Work Towards Joining the Immortals

The Immortals are the best faction in Diablo Immortal, and you should work towards joining them.

They have access to Eternal Crown buffs, significant Weekly Rewards, and the best Legendary items in the game through the Vault. On top of that, Immortals have access to a separate shop at the Hilts Trader and exclusive cosmetics.

However, becoming part of the Immortals is not an easy task. To join their faction, you will need to either pass their application process or defeat the previous Immortals of the week in the Rite of Exile.

There is a limit to 500 Immortals per server.

The Shadows Are the Second Best Faction

The Shadows are the second-best faction in Diablo Immortal.

They oppose the Immortals in the Cycle of Strife and have access to Shadows Rank buffs through gaining Marks and leveling up your rank, rewarding Daily and Challenge Quests, the Path of Blood activity, and more.

In addition, joining the Shadows and winning in the Rite of Exile is one of the only ways to become part of the Immortals.

There is no limit to how many players on one server can be in the Shadows.

Start Off as an Adventurer

Players join the Adventurer faction by default as soon as they create their character in Diablo Immortal.

Adventurers have no unique activities or rewards, but you can still progress in the faction by completing Weekly Bounties.

You can leave the Adventurers to join the Shadows or Immortals at Character Level 43, so level your character as fast as possible to begin earning better rewards.

What Are Factions?

Groups Participating in the Cycle of Strife

In Diablo Immortal, factions consist of the three parties that are involved in the Cycle of Strife PvP system.

These parties include the reigning Immortals faction, the opposing Shadows faction, and the neutral Adventurers faction.

Deeds of Valor Track Performance

The Deeds of Valor system tracks each player's overall faction performance and contributions.

This system tracks a player's Activity, Loyalty, Participation, and Impact to award them with an appropriate Badge at the end of each Cycle of Strife.

These Badges provide permanent boosts to character stats, so it is worthwhile to actively participate in factions.
