The newest class coming to the Diablo<\/em><\/a> franchise is the Spiritborn, joining the lineup when Diablo 4’s Vessel of Hatred<\/em><\/a> expansion launches in October 2024<\/a>. Previously we only knew that the expansion’s class would be brand new to the franchise, and datamining way back in October<\/a> hinted at ways the class might be connected to the jungles of Nahantu, the new zone in Vessel of Hatred<\/em>. But now we’ve had a good look at Spiritborn<\/a> abilities and gameplay, so we can really start to talk about how this new class will play.<\/p>\n

Described as “battle-hardened with mystical synergies,” the Spiritborn seems a great deal like the Diablo 3 <\/em>Monk class… but with a few extras. The class has a quick melee playstyle and high mobility, which, I admit, could describe quite a few classes in the Diablo<\/em> franchise. But the Spiritborn is defined by its connection to the spirits, and I don’t mean that metaphorically: the entire class is built around its Spirit Guardians, animal spirits that can be called on to aid the Spiritborn in battle.<\/p>\n
