Torchlight: Infinite Build Guide October 2025 (Season 12: Overrealm)

Welcome to our Torchlight: Infinite build guide for October 2025 on life.gg—your go-to hub for ARPG strategies, redeem codes, news, and loot farming tips. Season 12: Overrealm launched on October 10, 2025, introducing timed rifts (Containment Progress bar), Ethereal Prisms for Combo Skills (Starters/Finishers like Crescent Slash), and Disturbances (high-risk mods like Resurrection for bonus loot). The meta favors speed-clear builds for Overrealm efficiency, with crit-focused rangers, minion Iris, and Bing’s new Creative Genius trait leading the pack. This guide focuses on top starter/endgame builds for fast farming and boss fights.

Season 12 emphasizes mobility and group damage for rifts—builds with high crit/burst excel in timed runs. F2P? Prioritize gear-neutral clears like Autobomber Gemma.
