In Diablo 4, there is a very important component of character building - Aspects. You can use them to provide you with some additional privileges and provide some abilities in 5 aspects: Offensive, Defensive, Utility, Mobility and Resource.
In previous seasons, Diablo 4 provided some new high-powered aspects for each class in the game at the beginning of each season, and Season 5 is no exception, even providing more than 30.
Among these 30 new aspects, only 7 are applicable to all classes, and the others are targeted at a certain class, so you can choose the aspect that is most likely to bring you new building opportunities based on the class you are using. These aspects can be obtained in the new Infernal Hordes event in Season 5. This guide will introduce these dozens of new aspects, so that you will not be dazzled when facing multiple aspects in the game.
Aspects Common To All Classes
Among these 7 common aspects, there are two focusing on Offensive, one focusing on Defensive, one focusing on Utility and one focusing on Resource. The following are their detailed uses.
