Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred DLC New Class Guide – Spiritborn Release Date & Skills

On October 8, the first DLC for Diablo 4, subtitled Vessel of Hatred, will be released. The main theme of Vessel of Hatred will be the confrontation against the evil plans of Mephisto – one of the embodiments of great evil.
Along with Mephisto as a boss, many new things will appear in Diablo 4. Players should expect a new region called Nahantu, the Mercenaries mechanic, the PvE mode Multi-faceted Dungeons, and one of the most important new additions will be the new Diablo 4 class – Spiritborn.
In this article, we will get to know Spiritborn more closely. We tell you about the Spiritborn release date, skills, features, unique items, and everything we know so far.
Diablo 4 Spiritborn Release Date
The new Diablo 4 class, Spiritborn, will appear in the game on October 8, along with the release of the Vessel of Hatred expansion. It is unlikely that we will see Spiritborn earlier, for example, on PTR servers. Given its debut in the game along with the DLC Vessel of Hatred, Blizzard is unlikely to "spoil" the new class on test servers, but this is not a fact.
By the way, you can get the Nahantu Veilwalker Spiritborn Armor, Nahantu Themed Town Portal, Nahantu War-Cat Mount and Armor Bundle, and other items related to the Spiritborn's native region. The aforementioned bonuses are available for the purchase of the Ultimate edition and below.
All Spiritborn Skills
As we know from the description of Spiritborn, in battle, it relies on innate agility, spirit power, and glaives. The skills of Spiritborn are sharpened on the combination of these components.

As we can see from the ultimate skills, Spiritborn can use 4 spirit-forms. Here they are:
- Gorilla Spirit
- Eagle Spirit
- Jaguar Spirit
- Centipede Spirit
Essentially, each of the spirits acts as a "stance" that shapes the gameplay. The influence of the spirits is present in each of the abilities, forming the skill tree, meaning you can build your character through the resilience of the Gorilla or the swift and deadly attacks of the Jaguar.
Each ability has its own upgrades, just like the other classes in Diablo 4, but we will talk about them separately.
Spiritborn Unique Items
Like all classes in Diablo 4, Spiritborn will receive its unique items. So far, we know about two such items: a unique Quarterstaff and Boots, named Sepazontec and Scorn of the Earth, respectively.
The Sepazontec weapon enhances the basic abilities of Spiritborn and also turns every attack into the 3rd attack in a combo, which is the basis of Spiritborn's basic abilities. Scorn of the Earth Boots improve the class's Focus abilities, specifically Soar.
Soon, we will learn more about new items for Spiritborn.
Well, that was the main information regarding the Spiritborn Class in Diablo 4. We eagerly await October 8 to try out Spiritborn in the game. In the meantime, the Loot Reborn Season is ongoing in Diablo 4, and we previously talked about the Best Endgame Builds and Best Leveling Builds for Diablo 4.
