Amazon Guide: Skill Trees, Synergies and Popular Builds
Diablo 2 Resurrected Amazon: required level, prerequisites, level 1 and 20 values and synergies for all 30 skills, plus starting stats, class-only items and popular builds such as the Javazon, Strafe and Freezing Arrow.
The Amazon is an agile class that fights from range with bows and crossbows, and both at range and up close with javelins and spears. Her passive tree keeps her alive through avoidance and critical hits, while Valkyrie and Decoy pull enemies away from her. Hover over a skill icon (tap on touch screens) for its details.
