What you need to know
If you’re currently playingDiablo 4: Vessel of Hatredyou may well have been one of the many players choosing its brand new class,the Spiritborn. As expected, the dexterity-based class that’pushes the speed envelope’is already topping all of the current Diablo 4 build tier lists with its impressive skills and visually stunning Ultimate moves.Amongst the top builds being shared right now, one is particularly overpowered due to not an Ultimate move, but a fantastic interaction between a particular Unique and the Spiritborn Evade mechanic. Let’s dive into the Spiritborn Evade build and what you need to get this completely insane build together.
The Spiritborn Evade build is nuts
So while every class in Diablo 4 can ‘evade’(by hitting B if playing with controller), the Spiritborn Evade is particularly ridiculous because so many skills can interact with, giving you an extra skill on your hot bar. Of course, your Evade has a cooldown, but that’s the beauty of this build. This Spiritborn Eagle Evade build deals damage from the Spirit Hall Eagle Primary and uses a specific Unique, theSepazontecto reset your Evade cooldown so you can spam it constantly. No worries about resource generation, it’s a one-button killer build.
How to get Sepazontec Spiritborn Unique
The Sepazontec is a Unique Quarterstaff, equippable by the Spiritborn and added in Vessel of Hatred. It has an affix that lets your Basic Skills deal [25-75%] increased damage, always use their 3rd attack, and every third attack unleashes triple strikes. This Unique and it’s interaction with theThunderspikesskill and your Evade is what let’s this build really take off, and you don’t even really need to have fully Tempered or Masterworked gear to be powerful. But you need to get hold of the Sepazontec first, and here’s how:
The Sepazontec, like any Unique, can drop from any content in the game, but it is possible to target farm it. The Boss Ladder has bosses that each have their own loot table of Uniques that have a higher chance to drop than anywhere else in the game.AndarielandDuriel, being twins, share a loot table and both drop the Sepazontec. You will likely need to farm the other bosses first to get the materials you need to tackle Andariel and/or Duriel, so check out ourBoss Ladder guidefor more details. Once you have the Sepazontec staff, you can start building your overpoweredEagle Evade Spiritborn.NOTE: I also tried gambling Murmuring Obols at the Purveyor of Curiosities and was lucky enough to get the staff on my third try. May the RNG gods be with you!

Equipment and Aspects needed for Spiritborn Eagle Evade Build
You can get the build off the ground purely with the Unique Sepazontec Staff, but here’s the rest of the gear that will take this build from the already ridiculous to the extreme.

The Spiritborn Class Quest at level 15 should have taken you to unlock the Spirithall, here you unlock the ability to bond to a Spirit animal, one at level 15 and another at level 30. For this build you should choose:

The Spiritborn is shaping up to be the strongest class
The Spiritborn Eagle Evade build is one of many strong builds for the class, which seems to be following the same trajectory as the Necromancer did when first released for Diablo 3. It is totally eclipsing the power of the other classes. It’s likely that some powers will be balanced in a future patch, so make the most of this build now while it still remains in the S Tier on the class list. As you can see by Raxxantarax’s video above, it’s incredibly powerful even before you’ve dived into Paragon and Glyphs. I’m playing this build right now without any of the recommended Tempers or Runes, so it’s easy to jump in once you’ve got the staff. Good luck!
