Be the Very Best Spiritborn You Can Be in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred

With Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred introducing the new Spiritborn class, players have a fresh, versatile option to explore. The Spiritborn offers unique builds that harness animal-like qualities, and two of the strongest are Centipede and Eagle. This guide will focus on the Eagle Evade build, ideal for players who enjoy speed and relentless offense.

Beginner Leveling Build - 'Eagle Evade' Spiritborn

The Eagle Evade build is built for quick movement and ruthless efficiency. By focusing on mobility and damage output, this setup is ideal for leveling from scratch. You'll primarily rely on Thunderspike for offense, and you won't need a full skill bar to thrive with this build.

To start, map Thunderspike to a comfortable button (L2 on a gamepad, for example) and use it to dash toward enemies while dealing damage. For added survivability, you can include Crushing Hand and The Devourer to knock down enemies and heal as needed.
