Tip 1 - Best Beginner-Friendly Classes

Let's start with the best beginner-friendly classes, Torchlight infinite features five basic classes, namely Berserker, Divineshot, Frostfire, Spacetime Witness, and Commander, out of this selection, however, the best beginner friendly heroes are Berserker and frostfire, primarily due to their core attributes which are strength and intelligence respectively, strength not only boosts melee damage but also increases Max life, comparatively, intelligence raises Max Mana that is needed to activate powerful skills as well as energy shield for improved defenses, Berserker Rehan in your usual Barbarian who deals excellent damage up close and personal using one-handed or two-handed weapons like Hammers and axis, they are known for their raid which grants them Reserve, once its max levels achieve they deal additional burst damage, if you want to crush opponents at melee range while successfully absorbing a ton of damage, then you should choose the berserk glass, meanwhile, frostfire gamma specializes in fusing ice and fire elements to cast powerful spells thanks to her trusty staff, what's really cool about her is the ability to balance ice and fire damage depending on the enemy's weakness and energy used, if you intend to play like a mage with the benefits of controlling the battlefield while dealing massive damage, then frostfire is right for you.

Tip 2 - Identify Gear Worth Equipping

As with most RPGs, Torchlight Infinite will provide you with a ton of gear after slaying regular and Powerful enemies, the tricky part is sifting through them to know the ones worth equipping, what's important is you should not get swayed by the damage and survival percentage increases when comparing gear, the reason for this is that even if these show an increase, these still might not be the best fit for your build, instead you should maintain Synergy across talents and Equipment when choosing gear, the main stats in afix is to focus on our AOE damage and attack speed allowing you to clear enemies effectively, you'll need to boost them as much as possible so you can level up quickly by one shotting multiple targets at once, in addition to these, you have to invest in Talent nodes that provide you with similar support passives, for instance, Berserker rahan if you intend to amplify his weapon attack and fire damage to build upon the flame strike ultimate skill, you should go for the god of my talent tree, pick at most two damage types to improve and focus on those to maximize your capabilities versus choosing many which will yield average results.

Tip 3 - Improve Survivability

When You reach netherrealm, you'll notice a spike in difficulty since horde's mini bosses and Powerful enemies will attempt to shred you to pieces, rather than spreading yourself thin by investing in Life, Energy Shield evasion and multiple Elemental resistances at the same time, you should pick two defensive stats instead, highly recommend increasing armor or energy shield for all classes to prevent your HP from getting depleted, armor is useful against weapon attack and physical damage whereas energy Shield is more versatile since you can withstand any damage time, however, you should also consider the class you're playing if you're a Berserker then it makes more sense to invest in strength rather than prioritizing intelligence simply for the energy Shield increase, thankfully, you do have talents that provide enough armor in life as sensation should you follow the former route, another way to improve your Effectiveness is by equipping trigger skills trigger skills will only need to fulfill specific requirements to automatically activate rather than hitting specific Keys, the good ones to take are Auto defense and cast when taking damage, you should then link them to various defensive support skills like Stone skin to absorb damage which can prevent you from dying.

Tip 4 - Boost Energy Levels

To be able to equip skills, you need to have a huge spool of energy which you get by default every time you level up, the most efficient way to gain this resource, however, as you are progressing is by empowering your equipment, high value equipment starting at level 45 already has corresponding energy values, but sometimes, a good piece of gear may not have a high amount of energy, remember though that you can still raise its energy by empowering the gear itself via the Arms Dealer, otherwise, you won't have enough resources to activate many skills at a time, note that you'll need energy cores when rolling for new energy values, these are usually obtained from mobs so you can keep hoarding them until you find the gear that's right for your build, the good thing about energy is you can reallocate them to the active and passive skills you intend to focus on without consuming another type of resource, just take swapping gear into consideration, because you might accidentally wield the ones that provide you with limited energy.

Tip 5 - Don’t Worry About Sealed Mana

Speaking of skills Torchlight infinite features a sealed Mana mechanic, specifically for passives and some support skills, what happens here is that a portion of your Mana is blocked off thereby reducing your total available Mana, but there is a way to mitigate this, one way is to equip three or four skills without the Mana restrictions, support skills that are linked to trigger skills consume Mana automatically, as such they add to the overall computation of sealed Mana, having 30 to 40 percent of this resource is fine since you can generate it quickly upon investing in medium Talent nodes, these Mana nodes Grant restoration on hit while increasing the capacity in some cases, furthermore, you should get an equip pack spirits that Grant Mana restoration perks allowing you to freely increase sealed Mana without limiting your character's capabilities.

Tip 6 - Hoard Colored Equipment

When it comes to loot a good practice is to store High valued items such as purple orange and pink gear in your inventory, doing so will let you either exchange them for the flame residue to save flame dust or sand, these are the resources, you'll heavily make use of for enchanting and crafting once you know the equipment to use, later on, when your bag is full you only need to approach a Trader to trade your gear for flame residue, they should be available on most Maps next to the teleportation waypoints, furthermore, remember that you can collect different types of gear which are not necessarily restricted to the class you are currently playing, as such you can choose to share these with the rest of your characters if they are all on a single account remember to access the universal inventory by speaking with the space-time Wanderer NPC in town to transfer gear.
