Torchlight Infinite Frostfire Gemma Build

Torchlight Infinite has finally arrived, and we’re currently in the process of covering every aspect of it in a series of guides, with a focus on the characters themselves. This Torchlight Infinite Frostfire Gemma guide focuses on the fireball-slinging wizard, Gemma. This class will appeal to fans of the Alchemist or Embermage from Torchlight and its sequel respectively.

This latest entry in the action RPG series brings Torchlight to mobile for the first time ever, and in a free-to-play format. It features five playable characters, most of which are entirely new to the series, alongside all of the monster slaying you dreamed of. If you love watching monsters burst into colourful gore, collecting showers of loot, XP, and gold in the process, you’ll love this.

In the meantime, we recommend checking out the official site to learn more about the game. Following that, make sure to check out our Torchlight Infinite codes list for freebies, Torchlight Infinite classes guide to learn more about them, our Torchlight Infinite tier list to learn who’s best, then our Torchlight Infinite builds guide to help you progress once you’ve picked. We’ve also put together a guide on how the Torchlight Infinite multiplayer and Torchlight Infinite controller works.

Pact Points

Pact points provide statistical bonuses that help fine-tune your build.

Awooawoo – Drizzle

This build focuses on damage, so we want to absolutely max out this tree, as that’s its primary focus. Get everything.

Luluri – Sprout

In this tree, max out the mana regeneration options and elemental damage boosters, as that’s going to help us out the most.

The physical reduction pacts are nice, and help mitigate our weakness in this area, so go ahead and grab those, but ignore everything else.

Luluri – Green Leaf

This is your dump pact. We’ll pretty much ignore this tree, except for the pacts that boost our drop percentage. That’s very handy, but drop these points in at the very end.
