Torchlight: Infinite Leaderboards: Find Top Builds

Where to Find Torchlight: Infinite Leaderboards

Your next build upgrade can start with another Hunter’s character sheet. Torchlight: Infinite leaderboards help you inspect powerful builds, compare endgame achievements, and find ideas for your own skills, Talents, and gear. Start with the in-game Hero Ranking, then use Torchlight: Infinite leaderboards on the web to explore separate records for damage, leveling, and challenge clears.

Open the game menu and select Hero Ranking. From there, select a character to inspect their setup. You can narrow your search by hero, skill, and gear, which makes the feature useful even when you already know what you want to play.

For example, filter toward your chosen hero and skill before inspecting equipment. That keeps your comparison focused on characters whose choices relate to your build.

Keep these three destinations separate:

• In-game Hero Ranking: Character inspection, including skills, Talents, and equipment.
• Web rankings: Categories such as tooltip DPS, level records, and Divine Ascent achievements.
• Official account data: Personal seasonal and career statistics that require an account login.

The official account data page includes a notice that current-season information updates after the season ends. Use Hero Ranking for build inspection and the account page for reviewing your personal history.

Before comparing results, read the season, mode, and region labels. The Afterlight web ranking view carries SC and All regions labels. Keep those filters attached to any record you discuss with other players.

Understand What Each Ranking Measures

Torchlight: Infinite leaderboards cover several different accomplishments. A huge damage figure, an early level milestone, and a timed challenge clear each answer a different question about a character.

Choose the category that matches what you want to improve.

Ranking or record	What it displays	What to examine
Tooltip DPS	A character’s displayed damage figure	Skills, Talents, and equipment behind that figure
Level rankings	Leveling achievements, including the first level 100 record	The hero and trait associated with the milestone
Divine Ascent Infinity	Challenge tier and clear time	The tier alongside the recorded duration
Divine Ascent 35	Recorded completion milestones	The specific achievement and character

A tooltip damage record tells you about the displayed DPS metric. It does not measure how quickly that same character completes every activity. Read a challenge result when your question concerns that challenge, and inspect a damage ranking when you want to study damage setups.

The Afterlight records illustrate the distinction:

Afterlight record	Player and region	Hero and trait	Recorded result
Tooltip DPS season record	AKNALOGIA#9667, Europe	The Forsaken Iris — Growing Breeze	24.89 quadrillion tooltip DPS
First to level 100	MrLeguanTWITCH#1562, Europe	Spacetime Witness Youga — Spacetime Elapse	First level 100
Divine Ascent Infinity season record	Doom#6189, Asia	Divineshot Carino — Ranger of Glory	Tier 100 in 02:30

These are Afterlight achievements. Keep that season name attached when comparing them with characters from Tartarus.

The important detail in the Divine Ascent entry is the combination of Tier 100 and 02:30. A time without its tier removes part of the achievement. Likewise, “24.89 quadrillion” needs its tooltip DPS label to remain meaningful.

When sharing a record, include the category, season, hero trait, and result. That gives another Hunter enough context to understand what you are comparing.

Turn Ranked Characters Into Useful Build Comparisons

The practical value of Torchlight: Infinite leaderboards comes from opening character details. A position on a list gives you a starting point; skills, Talents, and gear give you something to study.

Begin with the exact hero trait. Youga’s Spacetime Elapse and The Ultimate One have different identities, just as Iris’s Growing Breeze and Vigilant Breeze are separate choices. Keep the full trait name in your comparison.

Then work through the character sheet in a consistent order:

1. Select the hero you play. Narrow the ranking before opening individual characters.
2. Filter for the skill you want to examine. Keep the comparison tied to your intended setup.
3. Read the skills and Talents together. Identify which choices appear repeatedly across comparable characters.
4. Inspect equipment. Use the gear filter when investigating a particular item.
5. Compare another character with the same focus. Look for shared choices and differences before changing your own setup.

Use repeated choices as a list of things to investigate. An item appearing across several characters is a reason to read its role carefully. Its presence alone does not explain the whole build.

Avoid assembling a character from unrelated ranking entries. Taking equipment from one hero trait, Talents from another, and a skill from a third leaves you without a coherent example to follow.

Instead, keep a complete character as your reference while examining alternatives. Ask a specific question each time: Which Talent choices accompany this skill? Which equipment pieces recur? What changes between characters using the same trait?

Keep a short comparison checklist:

• Same season
• Same hero trait
• Same main skill
• Relevant ranking category
• Skills, Talents, and gear inspected together

Use Torchlight: Infinite leaderboards to choose the next detail to investigate. You will get more out of a focused comparison than an evening spent scrolling through enormous damage numbers.

Read Hero Statistics and Popular Items Carefully

Torchlight: Infinite leaderboards also reveal patterns across groups of builds. Those patterns become more useful when you keep the activity and sample size visible.

Image: Steam / XD

The Afterlight hero spotlights separate SS20 Floor 20+ results from Boss Conquest Tier 4000+ results:

Activity	Hero and trait	Builds reaching the threshold	Builds listed
SS20, Floor 20+	Tide Whisper Selena — Dance of the Deep	118	118
SS20, Floor 20+	Cateye Erika — Wind Stalker	121	121
Boss Conquest, Tier 4000+	Scent Weaver Sage — Licorice Note	61	105
Boss Conquest, Tier 4000+	Lightbringer Rosa — Unsullied Blade	21	117

Every listed Selena and Erika build in those SS20 spotlights reached Floor 20+. That describes the displayed groups. It does not turn either result into a promise for a newly assembled character.

The Sage and Rosa entries concern a different activity and threshold. Keep their Boss Conquest results separate from the SS20 floor figures rather than combining everything into a universal hero ranking.

Apply the same discipline to equipment and skill popularity:

Item or skill	Afterlight statistic	Meaning of the figure
Lone Walker's Boots	Used by 4,173 builds	Most widely used unique item in that season’s ranking data
Thunder Spike	Used by 1,748 builds	Most popular skill in that season’s ranking data
Eternity	223 of 246 builds reached Floor 20+	Floor 20+ results among the listed builds using it

These figures help you decide what to inspect next. Search for Lone Walker's Boots when studying its use across characters, or filter toward Thunder Spike when exploring setups built around that skill.

Keep Eternity’s 223 of 246 result intact. Reporting only the successful builds hides the size of the group.

Popularity and challenge completion also answer different questions. One tells you how frequently a choice appears; the other connects a group of builds with an achievement threshold. Read both before drawing conclusions about your own equipment.

Compare Afterlight and Tartarus With the Season in View

Season context matters especially for Torchlight: Infinite leaderboards around Oct 16, when Tartarus launches. Afterlight records remain useful for studying established character setups, while Tartarus introduces systems that change the context for fresh comparisons.

Youga gains The Ultimate One, a hero trait built around the Clockwork Core and three development paths. Keep its rankings separate from Spacetime Elapse results when researching Youga.

Tartarus also adds Followers. These allies have exclusive Tartarus Skills, and their skill drops arrive with random Support Skills attached. Higher-ranking Followers can equip more skills. Include those choices in your build research when examining Tartarus progression.

Several other changes deserve attention:

• Afterlight becomes core content and receives its own Talent Constellation.
• Supreme Showdown adds Star's Fall and a rotating boss lineup.
• Memory Revival gains result rerolling.
• The Trade House adds condition filters and preset sharing.

Check a character’s season before carrying its setup into Tartarus. Then examine the relevant hero trait, Talents, skills, and equipment as a whole.

For Supreme Showdown comparisons, pay particular attention to the seasonal context because Tartarus changes the activity itself. Keep an older floor achievement labeled with its season when discussing it alongside newer results.

Use the official account data page to review your own progress over time. Its available fields include highest level, play time, active days, and seasonal activity statistics. Log in to view account data, and remember that the current-season update occurs after the season ends.

When you return to the rankings, choose one concrete comparison: the same trait with a different skill setup, characters using a particular item, or results in the challenge you want to push. A narrow question makes the character sheet easier to read and gives your next upgrade a clearer purpose.
