doesn't have a unique power like season 2's vampiric abilities or season 3's robot spider pet. Instead, there are a couple seasonal elixirs that speed up the leveling process so that you can get your hands on the new crafting systems. But players who are pushing into the highest levels of The Pit, a new extremely challenging dungeon type, have discovered that one of those seasonal elixirs might be the strongest seasonal"power" the game has ever had.

In The Pit, the Elixir of Holy Bolts is required for anyone pushing into tiers above 100, where monsters would otherwise take too long to kill to beat the 15 minute timer. The best Diablo 4 players have been orienting builds around the use of it and have managed toso far. The only thing stopping them from going higher are the bosses who can kill you in one hit and don't always call in other monsters to trigger the elixir.

A patch for the game went out this week that included a number of bug fixes, but none of them addressed the elixir. A midseason patch is presumably on its way, which could be where a fix or some kind of nerf will happen.
