Season 13 in Diablo 3 starts today and invites players to once again test their strength against others.
On Friday, many players will dive into a new chapter of Diablo 3. The 13th Season begins, where all participants start under the same conditions and create a fresh character.
We summarize the key information about Season 13 here.
Season 13 – Start and End in Diablo 3
Season 13 of Diablo 3 begins on Friday, February 23, 2018, at 5:00 PM German time.
In the past, seasons often started on Thursdays to address any issues with new patches before the weekend.
Since there doesn’t appear to be a major patch before the new season, the start on Friday is expected to proceed without issues. Recently, Blizzard invited players for server tests on the PTR.
When does Season 13 end? A season in Diablo 3 usually lasts about three months. So expect the end of this season around May 23.
Season 13 – Best Builds and Classes

There we show you the top 3 builds for each class in the game that will dominate the Greater Rifts. This time, the Crusader is at the forefront. Find out with which set he competes against the Pestilence Necromancer and Firebird Wizard in our Diablo 3 Season 13 Tier List
Quick to Level 70 – Speed Leveling
Now that you might have an idea of which class you want to play through the tier list, leveling in Diablo 3 can take a long time and demand a lot of time. Some players already face their first challenge here: getting to Level 70 as quickly as possible.
For this purpose, we have a speed leveling guide for you. We show you why massacre bonuses are important and why challenge rifts can be beneficial. Diablo 3 Speed Leveling Guide for Season 13
Haedrig’s Gift in Season 13 – What Demon Hunters and Co. Receive

- Barbarian – Might of the Earth
- Demon Hunter – The Shadow’s Mantle
- Witch Doctor – Garb of the Jade Harvester
- Crusader – Thorns of the Invoker
- Monk – Garb of the Monkey King
- Necromancer – Grace of Inarius

So if you’re still unsure which class to start with in the new season, you can use these gift sets as guidance.
Cosmetic rewards like special portrait frames can also be found in Season 13. This includes a cute, bloodied teddy bear that wants to become your friend.
