The much-anticipated first expansion and new season of Diablo 4 is scheduled to be released on October 8th! Of all the new content available to you in Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred DLC, the most exciting one is the new Class Spiritborn. Legend has it that Spiritborn comes from the jungles of Nahantu and possesses incredible expert hand-to-hand skills, Spirit Guardians, and deadly Glaive. This versatile Class gives you more options when exploring because you can build around its versatility.
So how do you choose the best build for Spiritborn among the many builds? Don’t worry, this guide will introduce it to you so that you can be ahead of many players in the official release of Season 6 and the Vessel of Hatred DLC.
Spiritborn Overview
In Diablo 4, some players prefer to explore and complete the campaign alone, while others prefer to share the fun of adventure with their friends. But if you use Spiritborn Class, you can experience both pleasures without switching between multiple classes, because Spiritborn has great diversity.
But it should be noted that when you choose a Spiritborn build, you need to consider which Spiritborn Spirit Guardians you want to build around carefully, because different Spirit Guardians will provide you with distinct elements, specialties, and passive abilities.
When creating a build, you can choose two Spirit Guardians: primary and secondary Spirit Guardian to make a reasonable mix. Of course, you can also choose the same Spirit Guardian as primary and secondary, so that your build will be stronger in a certain ability.
Here are Spirit Guardians you can choose for your Spiritborn build, and what they do.
- Jaguar (Rezoka): It represents Hunter’s incarnation, which can constantly apply pressure on the enemy to achieve the purpose of enhancing Spiritborn’s attack speed.
- Gorilla (Wumba): It focuses on the defense and durability of Spiritborn build, allowing you to take damage from the enemy while launching attacks on the enemy.
- Eagle (Kwatli): It has the most mobility of all Spirit Guardians and has very agile dodging ability in medium-range and close-range combat.
- Centipede (Balazan): It can make enemies hurt by various poisons and can easily control groups of enemies.
How To Choose The Best Spiritborn Build?
After learning about the new Spiritborn Class, you can start choosing the best build for it. When choosing a build, the most important thing is the ability to deal damage and survivability. Given these two points, you can combine the power of Gorilla and Jaguar.
First, you need to set Gorilla as the primary Spirit Guardian, so that all your Gorilla skills can cause stinging damage to the enemies hit. At the same time, you will also gain a protective barrier that can protect 10% of your maximum health for three seconds, up to 40%.
When all your skills become Gorilla skills, you can defeat enemies infinitely and get a very solid barrier. In this way, whether you encounter some Uber Boss or Tormented Boss, you can easily face it, and most importantly, you can easily get rich loot and Diablo 4 Gold.
Another secondary Spirit Guardian needs Jaguar to help you use Ferocity mechanic. Every time you kill an enemy or damage a boss, your attack speed can be strengthened. This will allow you to cycle through all of your skills at a much faster rate, also known as Gorilla skills.
So when these two Spirit Guardians are combined, you get very fast attack speed, powerful attack damage, and a solid protective barrier. This can be said to be one of the most perfect builds in Diablo 4!

Tips For Using Spiritborn Build
Once you’ve built your best Spiritborn build, it’s time to put it to use in some combat. Based on tips from the pre-release and community, we’ve listed the following tips for you to better use Spiritborn build in combat. But please note that these are just for reference only and will not be released until the official version is released.
When you enter combat, you can use Rock Splitter to make sure you can take full advantage of AOE ability and 40% damage bonus of the third attack.
If you want to launch a series of attacks like Payback on the enemy, you will need to maximize your Ravager’s buff before launching it. But please note that you’d better save this effect for when your health is low, so that Payback will be more effective.
When facing a group of enemies, you can use Crushing Hand’s overlapping shockwave, which can put these enemies in a knockdown state and make it easier for you to defeat them.
When facing some bosses or enemies that can cause a lot of damage to you, you can equip Armored Hide on your build, so that you will become Unstoppable in a short time and have more chances to win the battle.
The above is some information about Spiritborn build in Diablo 4 Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred DLC.
