Although Diablo 4 Season 9 has only been officially launched for two or three days, you should have already learned most of the content through the PTR and other information, such as the new dungeon and the new best class or builds.
If you are a Spiritborn fan, then Season 9 is still worth experiencing for you, because the new unique items make this class stronger in S9 through many available builds. Among them, Speed Spiritborn Evade Build is the best for farming dungeons.
In terms of strength, this build is not the best Spiritborn build in Season 9, but it works wonders in clearing dungeons - not only new dungeons, but also classic The Pit. In this way, you can earn enough Diablo 4 gold, XP, and Paragon points with this build.
Based on this, we will introduce you to the key points of crafting this build and how it works in the new dungeon Escalating Nightmares in S9.
What Are The Key Skills?
As you can see from the name of this build, the core of its function lies in continuous evasion, but other offensive skills are also important. After all, you can’t kill the enemy by dodging alone.
For this reason, the core skill of this build is still Quill Volley, which is suitable for most Spiritborn builds. It can cause lightning damage by throwing feathers at the enemy.
But before utilizing this skill, you need to choose Rock Splitter as your basic skill, because it can naturally generate resources for you, and provide blocking resources and blocking chance.
Next, you also need to add Soar, Thunderspike, Brilliance and Acceleration to the build. Some of them are passive skills that can provide additional benefits, and some are active skills that can continue to provide you with lightning damage. None of them can be ignored.
After completing these skill combinations, what you have to do is to find a way to minimize the cooldown of Evade while attacking the enemy to form a “Perma Evade”.
This trick actually has nothing to do with the skill itself, but requires you to find and hold the static option in the settings, then bind “Hold Position” to the Shift key, and combine it with Thunder Spy hotkey.
In this way, in the future battles, you can just hold the Shift key, then right-click to hold position and press the spacebar to “Perma Evade”. On this basis, you can cast all other skills to deal more damage to the enemy while protecting yourself.
What Are The Necessary Gear?
Due to the nature of the build, it does not require the help of Balazan’s Maxtlatl as you think, after all, this is a gear that mainly increases damage. The really important gear for Speed Spiritborn Evade Build is Harmony of Ebewaka and Sunbird’s Gorget.
Harmony Of Ebewaka
As one of the exclusive gear for Spiritborn, Harmony of Ebewaka armor has the following base affixes:
- + [47-65] All Stats
- + [8.0-12.5]% Movement Speed
- + [8.0-10.0]% Damage Reduction
- + [2-3] to Velocity
On top of that, it also provides Jaguar, Eagle, Gorilla, or Centipede skills to other skills in your build, depending on your secondary Spirit Hall choice. For this build, it is recommended to choose Jaguar because it can synergize with Sunbird’s Gorget.
Sunbird’s Gorget
This item is a unique item exclusive to Spiritborn launched in Season 8. As an amulet, its affixes include:
- + [16.0 - 25.0]% Movement Speed
- + [2 - 3] to Acceleration
- + [2 - 3] to Furnace
- + [2-3] to Potent
It is worth noting that the amulet’s unique power is mainly to allow you to damage enemies by picking up Storm Feather, which is actually a Jaguar skill.
Although these two pieces of gear are not new, the synergy between them can keep you alive in Season 9 in the classic Spiritborn class survival style. If used properly, it is not inferior to the new item Balazan’s Maxtlatl, which focuses on thorns and poison damage.
How To Complete Escalating Nightmares With This Build?
As an upgraded version of the nightmare dungeons brought by Season 9, Escalating Nightmares is composed of three regular nightmare dungeons connected in series. Each dungeon has its own positive and negative affix effects, which will be stacked as the progress deepens.
To unlock and enter Escalating Nightmares, you need to obtain Escalation Sigils as “keys” by completing Season 9 quest line or farming Grand Horadric Cache in another new dungeon, Horadric Strongroom.
The most efficient way to farm Escalation Sigils is to clear Horadric Strongroom. And both Horadric Strongroom and Escalating Nightmares can bring you a lot of loot.
To complete them through Speed Spiritborn Evade Build, you undoubtedly need to master all the skills first and get the gear required for the build. Then you must understand the specific operation of each dungeon.
On this basis, you can quickly solve the large number of enemies in the dungeon through skilled and uninterrupted evade in combat, the lightning damage provided by active skills, and the benefits provided by various gear, to earn the loot brought by Season 9.
The above is the information related to Speed Spiritborn Evade Build and the introduction of how to clear the new dungeon through it. I hope it can help you!
