While Spiritborn have fallen out of favor in Diablo 4 Season 13, with Warlock and Paladin standing tall, there are still several endgame builds that are incredibly fun, and powerful to run. A few seasons ago, everyone only played Spiritborn, and while that has certainly changed, don’t think that they are suddenly incredibly weak. There are still several ridiculous Evade builds that are viable here in Season 13.
We’re going to highlight a few of those fantastic endgame builds for Spiritborn in Diablo 4 Season 13, why/what makes them work, any gear you might need to have, as well as what talents you’re going to pick for these builds.
What are the best Spiritborn endgame builds for Diablo 4 Season 13?
1) Evade Swarm Spiritborn
Evade Swarm/Counterswarm Spiritborn is a build we’ve covered recently, as it’s a new Meta pick for Diablo 4 Season 13’s Spiritborn. This is a version of that build, though it’s not exactly the same. It’s still very much a Centipede/poison-themed Counterattack build, you get 100% dodge chance with Counterattack, and use The Devourer for huge damage. It can be pretty resource heavy, and it requires Shattered Vow (Mythic Unique) to be as good as it possibly can be. It’s not a hard requirement, but it’s very nice.
In terms of what you do need, you want Aspect of Infestation/Aspect of Pestilence when starting off. While you don’t need specific Uniques to make it work, if you want the most out of it, get Ring of Writhing Moon and Harmony of Ebewaka, both of which are covered in our Loot Table.
- Rushing Claw: Charge Refund, Incarnate Duration, Evasive Swipe
- Counterattack: Damage Over Time, Damage Bonus, Counterattack of the Swarm
- The Devourer: Poisoning Duration, Healing, Spew Putrefaction
- Toxic Skin: Healing, Skuttle Bug
- Ravager: Duration Increase, Ferocity Minimum, Flurry of Claws
- Scourge: Weaken, Vulnerable, Hive Mind
2) Rushing Claw Evade Spiritborn
Another Rushing Claw Evade build, the Rushing Claw Evade Spiritborn in Diablo 4 uses Storm Feathers for damage, and bounces around the screen via Rushing Claw to Evade. It’s similar to the other build, but it varies in that it uses The Seeker and Armored Hide.
It also uses quite a few Uniques to get the most out of it: Wushe Nak Pa, Loyalty’s Mantle, Temerity, and Thundergod’s Blessing. A Double Eagle Spirit Hall build, you use Ravager to open, Armored Hide for defenses, Counterattack for Dodge Chance, and The Seeker. Rushing Claw will get you around and Evade for you, making progress and damage incredibly easy in equal measures.
You’ll get plenty of Storm Feathers and tons of damage, while also staying incredibly safe, making this a fantastic, and easy build to use. This build will clear content, but it’s not the most overpowered, in terms of pushing to the highest difficulties or leaderboard climbing.
- The Seeker: Vulnerable, Storm Feathers, Stormbringer
- Rushing Claw: Charge Refund, Incarnate Duration, Evasive Swipe
- Armored Hide: Blocked Damage Reduction, Duration, Trampled Under
- Counterattack: Duration Increase, Controlled Reflection
- Ravager: Duration Increase, Ferocity Minimum, Flurry of Claws
- Thunderspike: Vigor Generation, Movement Speed, Lightning Dancer
3) Rake Spiritborn
Rake Spiritborn in Diablo 4, while it’s not the most overpowered build, is still one of the solid endgame builds you can begin with in Season 13. It’s not as tanky for the highest of difficulties, but it’s a great starting build that deals lots of damage, is easy to play, and while it does run several Uniques, the barrier to entry is relatively low.
You want Harmony of Ebewaka, Rod of Kepeleke (Charm version), Hesha e Kesungi, Ring of Midnight Sun, to make the Fireborn build really pop off. This is a build that wants to hit as fast as possible with Rake, especially with Spirit Jaguar upgrade. This build is technically a four Spirit Hall build, thanks to Harmony of Ebeawaka, and Multitude Charm Set.
You move around with Rushing Claw, build Vigor/CDR with Ravager, and Vigor/Vulnerable with Scourge. Vortex reels in enemies, and The Protector keeps you safe. Other than that, you use Rake as often as possible to shred enemies.
- The Protector: Barrier, Resolve Generation, Canopy Shelter
- Rake: Cost Reduction and Damage, Ferocity, Spirit Jaguar
- Vortex: Vigor Generation, Knock Down, 1000 Year Storm
- Ravager: Vigor Generation, Ferocity Maximum, Flurry of Claws
- Toxic Skin: Vigor Generation, Duration Increase, Skuttle Bug
- Scourge: Vigor Generation, Vulnerable, Hive Mind
