Evade Spiritborn Build Explained – Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred DLC

The sixth class in Diablo 4’s Vessel of Hatred DLC has taken the internet by storm. Spiritborn is a mobile class with the perfect mix of Monk and Rogue. While every build is good, the Evade Spiritborn is one to watch out for. When mastered, you can Evade, cast Quill Volleys, play around with the Storm Feathers mechanic and much more.

1. Evade Spiritborn Overview

This powerful build is based on the Eagle Spirit Hall choice and the use of Evade. The Eagle Spirit choice lets the player launch Storm Feathers attacks and inflict Vulnerable, causing a significant amount of damage.
