The Senschall companion in Diablo 4 had a rough start in Season 3 – but now many players find him very useful. The Diablo expert Rob2628 shows how he can deal damage in billions with his Senschall.
The main feature in Season 3 of Diablo 4 is the Senschall – your own mechanical companion that you can customize and equip with abilities. Initially, players found him useless, but that has now changed. Players have leveled the pet and are getting the most out of it.
Rob2628 is known for his expertise in Diablo 4 and regularly provides players with videos and streams. With his OP build, he completed Zirs’ slaughterhouse as a druid in a 4-player group in under 3 minutes.
In his YouTube video from January 31st, the expert demonstrates how he deals damage in billions with his Senschall on a training dummy.

2.3 billion damage, without attacking actively
How much damage does he deal? In the YouTube video by Rob2628, he presents the damage numbers he achieves with his Senschall companion on a training dummy. He shows gameplay with his barbarian, attacking alongside the Senschall. Right at the start, a damage number of over 160 billion is visible.
While he attempts to interact with his companion through the emote wheel, damage numbers over half a billion are flying around in the background, peaking at 2.3 billion at 11:16 minutes while he stands next to it explaining something.
In the video, he jokes at 8:10 minutes: ‘This pet is pretty good. I can’t even pet it, it’s too busy chasing these monsters into the air. It’s too busy killing, guys.’
How does the community react? The YouTube video has over 61,000 views and 228 comments at this point (February 1, 16:30). One comment with many likes comes from ‘mediocrity25years68’. The user writes: ‘Blizzard, why didn’t you hire this guy to test your seasons before they were released?’
Another user named ‘ExcessumGaming’ notes that it’s always barbarian builds that are “broken”, you can’t achieve the same damage with other classes, especially necros. Rob2628 replies with a link to a strong sorcerer build, agrees with him but adds that minion builds of the necros need ‘an enormous damage buff.’
Other users praise him for the work he invests. Many ask for alternatives to his Senschall build because they don’t have certain tuning stones.
How does he achieve such numbers? At the beginning of the video, he shows the lead and tuning stones he has equipped for his Senschall companion of the barbarian. He uses ‘Orkan’ and ‘Adrenalinschub’ as lead stones as well as ‘Gift-‘, ‘Blutung-‘, ‘Verbrennungs-Unterstützung’ as tuning stones for ‘Orkan’ and ‘Dauer-‘ and ‘Taktische Unterstützung’ as well as ‘Immernacht’ for ‘Adrenalinschub’.
Rob2628 believes that the pet scales with the player’s character’s attack strength. This activates the ‘War Cry’ and thereby increases his total damage. Additionally, he has the unique stone ‘Immernacht’ that grants him +4 ranks for each ability.
As a possible alternative, he mentions in a comment on YouTube ‘Verwüstungs-Unterstützung’ and ‘Verwundbar’, which he probably refers to the ‘Bruch-Unterstützung’ stone.
‘Immernacht’ is one of two unique tuning stones for the Senschall that you can only get from the Echo of Malphas. MeinMMO reveals how to summon and fight the boss: Diablo 4 Season 3: Summon Echo of Malphas – Farm glowing cores, tips for the fight
