What are Paragon Boards & how do they work in Diablo 4

Paragon Boards are part of the endgame progression of the game. Diablo 4 players who complete the main story can continue playing to upgrade their character and strive for more power in the game. Paragon Boards expand your character progression beyond the basic skill trees. Here is everything you need to know about Diablo 4 Paragon Boards.

What are Paragon Boards?

As mentioned, Paragon Boards are a way to improve your character beyond the basic skill tree. Where the skill tree allows you to unlock new abilities and effects, the Paragon Boards are a bit more granular, and allow you to fine-tune your character.

Paragon Boards contain many small upgrades, called Nodes, and each one gives you bonuses to your stats. The majority of Nodes will grant a handful of points to your strength, intelligence, willpower, or dexterity. Occasionally you will come across Legendary Nodes, these grant much more potent improvements.

How do Paragon Boards work?

When you are presented with your first Paragon Board, you will be able to purchase Nodes with upgrade points. As you expand out to the edge of the board, you will be able to move to another Paragon Board. Before starting a new board, you can rotate it to make access to the Nodes you want even easier.

By adding more and more boards, you can expand indefinitely and gain more and more upgrades. While each individual Node may not grant much, over time your Paragon Boards will grow into a source of massive power for your character.
