A mid-season Campfire Chat on November 12 discussed the significant changes to the existing builds and classes. While there are some significant shifts and tweaks, the Welcome Back Boost can be a great incentive for those who may have taken a break from the game. Alternatively, it can be the perfect jump start for beginners who might be playing Season 6 for the first time. Either way, you won’t want to miss out on this bonus to help yourself clear the content in the ongoing sixth season of Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 Season 6 Welcome Back Boost explained

The Welcome Back Boost does precisely what its name suggests – it boosts. We are talking about an Eternal Realm character, and you’ll be able to boost it all the way up to level 50 instantly. This will allow you to ignore the grind of building a class up and then pick from the available builds. This will also unlock all Altars of Lilith for that Eternal Realms character.

Finding the boost isn’t rocket science, as it will be automatically offered to you as part of the seasonal content. You can use only one character of your choice, and there are two huge advantages. The first significant advantage is the ability to skip the early in-game guide and just take the character instantly to the next level, where you can grind for the relatively endgame content.

The bigger advantage is the instant access to Altars of Lilith, which is a fantastic contributor to your Renown. Having access to all 160 of them from the very start will greatly boost your character’s power.

The benefits of Altars of Lilith are not restricted to a single character, unlike the Welcome Back Boost. Of course, you might not find much use for this benefit if you’re a veteran, but it’s entirely different for beginners. Do note that unlocking the Altars of Lilith with the Welcome Back Boost might be exclusive to the Eternal Realm characters in Diablo 4 Season 6.

What’s the best use of the Welcome Back Boost in Diablo 4 Season 6

There’s no way to go wrong with your choice, as long as you’re not using it on a character already at Level 50. That’s a sub-optimal way of using the boost, and the benefits accrue only once. If you own the Vessel of Hatred DLC, you’ll get an additional boost.

You could also use it on old seasonal characters who are present in Eternal Realm, but they’re yet to reach endgame levels. Irrespective of your decision, the Welcome Back Boost is a smart little addition that allows you to enjoy all the Diablo 4 Season 6 content in an easier fashion.
