As players begin to dive into Diablo 4 Season 10 and experience the new content on offer, they will want to keep an eye out for a particular Chaos Unique that can give just about any build a boost. While farming for Chaos Uniques will likely be a popular pastime during Diablo 4‘s Season of Infernal Chaos, players are likely aiming to collect gear that is tailored to their specific build. However, it would be unwise to discount the Fists of Fate as a Chaos Unique, given that they could potentially take a build from solid to spectacular.
The meta for Diablo 4 Season 10 has a little bit of everything, with fans of all classes likely finding a build that can take them deep into the endgame. With this in mind, a universally beneficial Unique like the Fists of Fate is bound to find a home on many of the top builds this season. For players struggling to take their build to the next level and defeat new Season of Infernal Chaos challenges like the reworked Infernal Hordes and the new Bartuc, Lord of Chaos boss, grabbing the Fists of Fate as a Chaos Unique could make all the difference.
Fists of Fate is a Must-Use Chaos Unique in Diablo 4 Season 10
Although typically the Fists of Fate are Unique Gloves equipable by all Diablo 4 classes, the introduction of Chaos Armor in Season 10 means this Unique can be used in a variety of different gear slots. Players using the Fists of Fate are essentially gambling on the chance that their attacks will deal 200-300% of their normal damage. When coupled with the Unique’s other affixes, it’s a gamble worth taking for most builds that have room for the Fists of Fate.
- Fists of Fate
- +[1.0-51.8]% Lucky Hit Chance
- +[0.1-8.7]% Critical Strike Chance
- +[0.1-8.7]% Attack Speed
- Lucky Hit: Up to a +[1.0-51.8]% Chance to Make Enemies Vulnerable for 3 Seconds
- Unique Affix: Your attacks randomly deal 1% to [200-300]% of their normal damage.
As a Chaos Unique, the Fists of Fate are guaranteed to have their highest affix rolls and a 20% power increase to their Unique Affix for a total chance to deal 360% normal damage.
Fists of Fate Support Nearly All Gameplay Styles
With each attack randomly dealing between 1% and 360% of their normal damage, builds that involve frequent or nearly constant attacks will benefit the most from the Fists of Fate, but the majority of builds will attack frequently enough to benefit. Builds like Dance of Knives Rogue or Evade Spiritborn that will be launching projectiles that count as multiple attacks will further increase the chance to hit that high roll on the Fists of Fate’s damage multiplier. The only builds that likely want to avoid the Fists of Fate are those that can’t afford the space for it or focus on damage over time, like Shadowblight Necromancers.
Why the Fists of Fate Have Shot Up in Utility in Diablo 4 Season 10
While the Fists of Fate had niche utility in previous Diablo 4 seasons, their value has increased drastically in Season 10 due to their status as Chaos Armor. Not only does the Chaos version of the Fists of Fate give it guaranteed high affix rolls and a 20% increase to its Unique Affix, but the flexibility of Chaos Armor means players can utilize the Unique in a slot other than gloves for the first time. Past trade-offs for better glove options may have prevented the Fists of Fate from making their way onto some Diablo 4 builds, but with that limitation removed, the Unique has the chance to make a huge impact in Season 10.
Other Uniques are in a similar boat this season, gaining a new lease on life thanks to the Chaos Armor system. However, the Fists of Fate are one of the few Uniques with an affix that doesn’t require a specific build to thrive, making them one that Diablo 4 Season 10 players should snag if they have the chance.
