Best Diablo 4 Landslide Druid builds in Season 7
Diablo 4’s powerful Landslide Druid build can deal incredible damage to single-target enemies and is great for inflicting status effects on your foes. If the Landslide Druid is your choice forSeason 7, you’ll need to know about the best leveling, endgame, and PvP builds for this type of Druid.
The Landslide Druid is a popular contender amongstDruid buildsfor Season 7, as it packs a punch with the Landslide skill and allows you to deal focused damage all by yourself, unlike theCompanion Druid.
You’ll need the right skills, gear, Aspects, and Glyphs to make this Landslide Druid build work in Season 6. All the details are laid out for you below to help you craft this build.
The Landslide Druid build for Diablo 4 relies on a plethora of powerful synergies to dole out absurd amounts of single-target damage with the possibility of some respectable AOE output. As the name suggests, it relies primarily on the Landslide skill as well as a number of Aspects that buff Landslide or cause other skills to cast it.
The primary focus of the build is to acquire the Subterranean Aspect which causes your Poison Creeper to summon Landslides when cast and doubling up the potential output with the Aspect of the Aftershock. To supplement this core skill, a number of passives provide secondary benefits through things like guaranteed Critical Hits, increased damage to Poisoned enemies, and a great deal of cooldown reduction.
Thanks to the addition of Teramotes via the Primal augment for Landslide, you’ll be able to stack guaranteed Critical Hits with an added damage modifier. When used correctly, this will melt the health bar of bosses and elites and turn you into a devastating earthen mage.

Best Spirit Boons for Landslide Druid
Out of the 16 different Spirit Boons that Druids can unlock, you can only grab five. These are the Spirit Boons we recommend for your Landslide Druid build in Diablo 4 Season 7.
The Deer Boon of Wariness will allow you totake reduced damage from Elites,who will be ever-present during endgame activities. Taking Avian Wrath from the Eagle boosts the damage of Critical Strikes which nearly all of your attacks should be guaranteed to hit.
Pack Leader from the Wolf gives your Critical Strikes a chance to reset your Companion Skill Cooldowns meaning you can use Poison Creeper more often. You can bond with one of the Spirits in Tul Dura to activate two of its boons rather than one. For the Landslide Druid, we recommend the Snake.
Calm Before the Storm gives your Landslides a chance to reduce the cooldown of Petrify and it will proc more often than not. Obsidian Slam causes every tenth kill to guarantee and overpower from your next Earth Magic skill and the vast amounts of Fortify you gain passively will give a major increase to that attack.
Best skill rotation
It’s a good idea to begin most encounters by casting Petrify to immobilize as many enemies as possible. For every enemy that Petrify impacts, you’ll stack a Teramote which guarantees Critical Strikes from your Landslides. Popping Poisoncreeper will summon a ring of Landslides, all of which should be Critical Strikes. The innate Slow from Poison Creeper will also restock a number of Teramotes.
Using Claw will generate Spirit so you can cast individual Landslides which will help reset the cooldowns for both Petrify and Poison Creeper. From here, you can repeat that loop.
Blood Howl will increase your defense thanks to a few passive buffs and will also heal you and generate more Spirit. Use Earthen Bulwark when things are looking dicey and you need some extra resilience.
Powers of Witchcraft
Season 7 addsWitch Powersto give each character a boost and something new to do this season. While all Witch Powers are beneficial, some are more suited to certain classes and builds.
For this build, choose the following Witch Powers:
Powers of Witchcraft may disappear after Season 7, but they could return in another form likeVampire PowersandMalignant Heartsdid.

Best Landslide Druid Mercenaries
Since the introduction of theMercenariesmechanic in theVessel of Hatredexpansion, they’ve become an important aspect of maxing out the potential of a build. This is still true for base game classes and builds like the Landslide Druid.
Raehir is the go-to choice for your Hired Mercenary. He offers incredible defensive boosts via Valiance and Bastion to keep you in the fight and his Ground Slam skill is useful for applying Slow to enemies.
Varyana is the best Reinforcement option for the Landslide Druid. Her Bloodthirst skill gives a massive buff to your Attack Speed which is useful given that this build relies on a two-handed weapon with a slower attack rate.
Best Landslide Druid gear and Runewords
There are many gear items to choose from during the endgame for your Landslide Druid. While some of these picks are Legendary items, a lot of them are Uniques, which are tougher to hunt.
These items were picked based on the power they grant, as they have Legendary Aspects which massively buff your Landslide Druid. Keep an eye out for these items:
