Diablo 4 Update Adds New Endgame Paragon Board Progression System

Earlier today, Blizzard released its final Diablo 4 blog of the year, detailing a variety of quality of life improvements and changes to gameplay that will be implemented. Chief amongst those changes is a brand-new endgame progression system called the Paragon Board.

The Paragon Board is a new feature that will help improve the endgame of Diablo 4, and will only occur once you reach level 50. Once you reach this level, players will earn Paragon points that can be devoted toward specific tiles that are unlocked via experience. The more tiles that are unlocked, the more buffs and passive bonuses are unlocked.

Diablo 4, Paragon Board Progression System

You can check out the full breakdown of this new Diablo 4 feature below:

In Diablo IV, we have placed a heavy emphasis on build customization, ensuring that you can have plenty of control over how your hero grows. The Paragon Board unlocks for each class at level 50 and is a distillation of this focus. Your hero begins their journey through the Paragon system at the central starting tile of their class’s intro board, and from there, you make selections radiating outward. Once your hero reaches a gate tile, you’ll choose which new paragon board you would like to attach to at that location. The desired outcome is a personalized set of bonuses that will empower your hero and honor your dedication to their progression, that will remain fun to tweak and adjust over many playthroughs.

Alongside the different tiles that me up each path, there are also a few different tile variations as well:

  • Normal Tiles – These tiles are straightforward, providing a small but meaningful stat boost. Normal Tiles are connective tissues that can be found throughout the board and are quite common.
  • Magic Tiles – Magic Tiles are found in clusters throughout the board and provide a potent, more diverse set of benefits. As you might expect, they are less common than Normal Tiles, but are still plentiful.
  • Rare Tiles = Rare Tiles offer significant boosts in power. Upon entering the Paragon Board for the first time, these represent great goals for players to chase, particularly once you’ve narrowed builds down towards highly specific goals. Rare Tiles also have additional powers that unlock once the hero has raised an attribute to a sufficient level, requiring some choices to be made when plotting your path through the board.
  • Legendary Tile – After the first Paragon Board, each new board has a single Legendary Tile that can be found at its center. Legendary Tiles impart a new Legendary Power to the character that earns it.

Alongside the new endgame content, the update is set to implement plenty of visual and combat improvements as well. You can read the full thing on Blizzard’s blog for Diablo 4.
