Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred brings the exciting new class, Spiritborn, that lets you harness the power of four unique animals for different combat strategies.
Animal Spirits Unleashed
Spiritborn players can tap into the abilities of the Centipede, Jaguar, Eagle, and Gorilla. If you choose Centipede, you’ll inflict poison; Jaguars make you quick; Eagles zap with lightning, and Gorillas smash with brute force. At first, focusing on one animal is smart, but later, with the Spirit Hall, you can mix things up creatively.
In the Spirit Hall, you gain a special passive from one spirit, transforming all your skills to align with that spirit. For instance, equipping only Centipede skills but activating the Jaguar passive makes those Centipede skills also count as Jaguar skills. This way, any perks for Jaguar skills apply to Centipede skills too, offering endless combinations to explore.
Crafting Your Character
You can shape your Spiritborn around these key stats:
- Critical hits
- Dodging
- Blocking
- Barrier generation
- Vulnerability
- Thorns
Mix and match Spirit Hall passives to enhance these stats. Pairing the Jaguar passive with Eagle in your build can skyrocket critical hits, while Gorilla and Centipede can boost thorns damage. Finding the perfect combination of abilities and loot is essential to mastering your build.
Fans love how these new features add a layer of excitement and strategy to the game.
However, Spiritborn’s weapon choices are limited. Only Glaive, Polearm, and Quarterstaff are available, which means fewer options for weapon enhancements and unique items. Focus on Dexterity to boost your damage, while Strength, Intelligence, and Willpower offer armor, resistance, and healing boosts.
