As you know, Diablo 4 has always maintained a steady frequency of season updates, so Season 7 is coming on January 21, about 3 months after Season 6 was launched. Since Season 6 was released with DLC together, the new content provided is less than in previous seasons. To make up for this, Season 7 will bring a lot of new stories and game mechanics.
This exciting season is named Season of Witchcraft, in which you will learn and experience the magical abilities brought by three witches. In addition, if you have Vessel of Hatred expansion, you will get three new runes in Season 7, but this DLC is not a must enter Season 7, and most of the content and rewards of Season 7 are free.
Next, we will first take you to understand the overview of Season of Witchcraft, and then introduce you to these three witches and the witchcraft power they bring.
What Are The New Changes In Season 7?
Season of Witchcraft will officially start at 10am PST on January 21, 2025, and will last about three months, just like all previous Diablo 4 seasons. During the season, you can access limited-time content by creating a new character on a seasonal server, challenge new bosses or dungeons to let them drop Diablo 4 Gold, which is essential for playing the game.
However, it is worth noting that there is one update that is for all areas of Diablo 4, that is Armory. This mechanism allows you to save all the builds you have used, making it easier to switch to see which build is the most powerful or best for you. In addition, you can also experience quality of life updates, including changes to greater affixes and class quests.
However, the most eye-catching of all the new content in Season 7 is still the witchcraft power. Although this power is not expected to be available on other Diablo 4 servers, any cosmetics, pets or rewards that can be unlocked in Season 7 should be applicable to all your Diablo 4 accounts.
Three Schools Of Witchcraft Powers
It is worth noting that no matter what class you play in Season 7 and what witchcraft powers you want to obtain, you must first solve the mystery of who is stealing heads off Tree of Whispers and clear the corruption spreading in Sanctuary in return for providing it to the three Hawezar witches, who will then provide you with usable witchcraft powers for their help.
Each of the three witches has a different school of magic, but this does not affect your choice of witch. However, before learning new witchcraft powers, you may want to know that there is also a Piranhado spell that can help you deal with a certain range of damage to enemies by creating a water tornado filled with dangerous piranhas. This spell is said to exist in a Lost school of Witchcraft and may appear during your adventure.
1. Ouna’s Eldritch Magic
After learning the magic provided by this witch, you will gain stronger offensive capabilities through fire and destruction spells. Firebat Servants in this type of magic allow you to summon a group of fire bats to attack the enemy, causing 20% fire damage to them; while Doom Orb’s spell will project a mysterious energy ball that will surround you after it appears, causing 400% fire damage to all enemies it touches, and may even explode.
- Firebat Servants
- Abyssal Resonance
- Hex of Flames
- Doom Orb
2. Gelena’s Psyche Magic
The effects of the witchcraft power provided by this magic make them look more like a defensive witchcraft school. For example, Aura of Lament spell can slow down the enemy while providing you with 3 main resources per second, which can be used to deal with all enemies that appear in the aura. In addition, Vengeful Spirit spell will provide you with a soul servant, which will absorb all the damage you take before it dies, while causing 750% damage to the enemy.
- Aura of Lament
- Vengeful Spirit
3. Caidin’s Growth And Decay Magic
The effects of the witchcraft power corresponding to this magic type focus on letting you damage your enemies over time rather than dealing all the damage at once, and the types of damage output include poison, disease, and curse. In addition, Poison Frog Servant spell in this genre can summon a poison frog to attack the enemy for you, dealing 150% damage to the enemy within three seconds, and the frog will explode violently after death, causing further damage.
- Poison Frog Servant
- Hex of Whispers
- Aura of Siphoning
- The Cycle
The last point is that no matter what witchcraft power you end up with, when you successfully hunt down Headrotten and return these heads to Tree of Whispers to g the favor of The Coven, all your witchcraft powers will be upgraded and become more powerful, and the unique altar under Tree of Whispers will also allow you to gain new powers. In addition, if you obtain Restless Rot by killing Headrotten, you can also upgrade your witchcraft power directly from its inventory.
After this introduction, I believe you should have been able to determine which witchcraft powers in Season 7 will be more suitable for you. I hope you can have a wonderful experience and performance after this season goes online. I wish you success!
