As a new class first introduced in Vessel of Hatred DLC in October 2024, Spiritborn is a more agile and monk-like fast melee class in Diablo 4. In addition, their abilities are much more complex than they initially appear, as they can command the spirits of four unique beasts to gain more additional abilities.
Although you may find that Spiritborn is too powerful compared to other classes shortly after launch, it is precisely based on this situation that Diablo 4 has made different strength adjustments to 6 classes including Spiritborn in Season 7 so that you can enjoy a more fair playing environment in the latest season.
However, this also means that if you plan to play Spiritborn in Season 7, you need to make corresponding adjustments to your playing strategy. For example, before you reach level 60, your builds must be set to help you level up as quickly as possible; and after entering the endgame, your builds should become more powerful so that you can cope with more difficult game content.
Based on this, we will introduce you how to combine skills, gear or other aspects to get better Spiritborn leveling builds in these two different situations to help you conquer Torment I or higher-level game content.
1. Spiritborn Leveling Builds
In order to make the most of each of your 71 skill points before reaching level 60, it is recommended that you choose Quill Volley as the core skill for your builds at this stage, and combine it with major skills such as Soar, The Seeker, Thunderspike, etc.
Best Skills For Leveling
Based on this, we will recommend you some skills suitable for Spiritborn upgrade builds, and you need to use them in the exact order when you obtain them. Additionally, some skills require you to allocate a certain number of skill points in the skill tree to unlock them, so you need to unlock new skills before you can further enhance them:
- Thunderspike / Enhanced Thunderspike / Accelerated Thunderspike
- Quill Volley (rank 1-4) / Enhanced Quill Volley / Advantageous Quill Volley
- Soar
- Ravager
- Quill Volley (rank 5)
- Vigorous
- Velocity (rank 1-3)
- Enhanced Ravager / Replenishing Ravager
- Rushing Claw / Enhanced Rushing Claw / Invasive Rushing Claw
- Vigorous (rank 2-3)
- Focal Point
- Apex (rank 1-3)
- Enhanced Soar / Replenishing Soar
- Endurance
- Fueled
Of course, the choice of Spirit Hall is also important for Spiritborn. It is recommended that you choose Eagle as the primary choice and Jaguar as the secondary choice, so that you can maximize the benefits provided by Spirit Hall while being able to adjust according to the situation at any time flexibly.
Best Legendary Aspect
When you start playing a new character in Season 7, it is best to complete the following four dungeons to collect the available attributes contained in them, and then put them on a piece of jewelry-type gear. If you only have weapon-type gear, it is best to exchange Diablo 4 Gold for a piece of jewelry.
- Turbulence (Ruined Wild, Nahantu)
- Haste (Seething Underpass, Nahantu)
- Rebounding (Forge of Malice, Nahantu)
- Disobedience (Halls of the Damned, Kehjistan)
2. Spiritborn Endgame Builds
After reaching level 60 with suitable leveling builds, you can not only use all 71 skill points but also make further progress through Paragon boards. But you also need to continue to adjust your Spiritborn builds to make it more suitable for the new stage (including endgame).
Best Skill Point Allocation Plan
In the later stages, it is recommended to use Touch of Death as the core skill of new builds. This will become your main means of dealing damage, and this skill can also play a good synergy with Armored Hide, Scourge, Ravager and other skills.
You need to invest all 71 skill points to complete this version, but if you get all the prerequisite points in the skill tree in the early stages, the order of these skills can be more arbitrary.
- Rock Splitter / Enhanced Rock Splitter
- Vigorous (rank 1-2)
- Balanced Exertion (rank 1-3)
- Ravager / Enhanced Ravager / Measured Ravager
- Mirage
- Unrestrained Power (rank 1-3)
- Focal Point
- Apex (rank 1-3)
- Armored Hide / Enhanced Armored Hide / Reinforced Armored Hide
- Counterstrike / Enhanced Counterstrike / Reinforced Counterattack
- Scourge / Enhanced Scourge / Reinforced Scourge
- Endurance
- Perseverance (rank 1-3)
- Patient Guard
- Auspicious (rank 1-3)
The primary Spirit Hall for this build is Gorilla, which can give your character a good defense, and the secondary choice is Jaguar, which can increase your attack speed.
Best Legendary Aspects & Uniques
To make Touch of Death Spiritborn build work, you need to pair it with the following powers and items:
- Helm: Tenacity
- Chest: Might
- Gloves: Potent Exchange
- Pants: Apprehension
- Boots: Duelist’s
- Weapon: Insatiable
- Amulet: Unyielding Hits
- Ring 1: Redirected Force
- Ring 2: Starlight
Best Ways To Invest In Paragon Board
Without a doubt, the construction of Paragon board should be the biggest difference between early and late Spiritborn builds. Since Paragon board system is very complex, you need to pair your glyphs carefully with the specific board that suits your class to expand your power:
- Start / Spirit
- Convergence / Bane
- Vicious Shield / Canny
- Sapping / Revenge
- Revealing / Colossal
In addition, you should also upgrade your glyphs to level 15 in the following order:
- Spirit
- Bane
- Canny
- Revenge
- Colossal
How To Make Great Spiritborn Builds?
In addition to the above solutions we have provided for you, you should also understand some core ideas for creating a great Spiritborn build. For example, all Spiritborn builds should revolve around the four animal spirits that control their skill sets, namely Gorilla, Jaguar, Eagle, and Centipede.
Each of these animals has exclusive skills, and you can either choose one of them to create a powerful single build based on this, or combine them together to get some very powerful combinations, such as mixing Eagle with Centipede, which can form a poison/crit build to defeat group-type enemies quickly.
Hopefully, after mastering these, you can have a better gaming experience as a Spiritborn in Season 7. Have fun!
