The Seasonal Theme of Season 18 in Diablo 3 – Theme
What theme is active? Season 18 is the season of Trinity. All seasonal characters benefit from a buff that creates strengthening circles regularly. There are 3 types of these circles.
- Trinity of Love (Power): All players in the circle receive a 100% damage bonus.
- Trinity of Determination (Resource Cost Reduction): If you stand in the circle, resource costs are reduced by 50%.
- Trinity of Creation (Cooldown Reduction): If you stand in the circle, your skills cool down faster.
This bonus was chosen by Blizzard so that players can benefit directly at all possible levels. It already helps from level 1 during the leveling phase and is still interesting at level 70 in Greater Nephalem Rifts.
