The Evade Spiritborn Build in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred is an exciting, fast-paced build focused on mobility, damage output, and skill synergies. With the Spiritborn class being introduced, this build takes advantage of the Evade skill combined with powerful abilities and mechanics, making it one of the top-tier builds in the game. Below is an in-depth guide to mastering the Evade Spiritborn build.

Evade Spiritborn Build Overview

The Evade Spiritborn build revolves around two key mechanics:

The Eagle Spirit Hall: This provides a significant movement speed bonus and launches Storm Feathers upon Evading. It also applies the Vulnerable status effect, which increases the damage dealt to enemies. Every time you evade, you deal huge amounts of damage and inflict the Vulnerable effect, enabling devastating attacks with abilities like Quill Volley.

Evade Cooldown Reduction: The focus here is on reducing Evade's cooldown, allowing you to use the skill. Quill Vol repeatedly and other abilities reduce the Evade cooldown, letting you stay in constant motion, evade attacks, and cast powerful spells while ensuring your Vigor is constantly replenished.

By chaining Evades and casting Quill Volley, you create a feedback loop that maximizes damage output. The goal is to avoid pressing basic attacks, as Quill Volley (combined with cooldown reduction and Vigor regeneration) can handle the heavy lifting.

Key Spiritborn Skills and Spirit Hall

Evade Spiritborn Key Passive: Vital Strikes

The Vital Strikes passive is essential for maximizing the damage of your Evade Spiritborn build. It grants:

45% more damage against Vulnerable enemies.

Life and Vigor regeneration when Vulnerable is applied, allowing for sustainability in long battles. This passive synergizes perfectly with your main skill, Quill Volley, as you will inflict Vulnerable frequently.

Best Spirit Hall Choices

Primary Spirit Hall: The Eagle

Eagle is the ideal choice for the Primary Spirit Hall. It boosts your movement speed and triggers Storm Feathers when you Evade, turning enemies Vulnerable. Additionally, all your abilities will become Eagle Skills, proccing various Aspects and abilities more frequently.

Secondary Spirit Hall: The Eagle (or The Jaguar)

The Eagle as a secondary provides additional Crit Chance when moving, increasing your damage output. If you lack certain Aspects, the Jaguar can be a viable secondary for Ferocity stacks that enhance your Attack Speed and Vigor generation, ensuring you have plenty of resources between Evades.
