Details of Diablo 4: Spiritborn and Spirit Guardians
Spiritborn is an apex predator from the jungles of Nahantu. This new region will also be introduced with the upcoming expansion. The developers revealed that the people of Nahantu have formed a unique connection with the Spirit Realm, unlike anyone before them. They have also pledged to protect this realm.
A Spiritborn player can summon four animal spirits known as Spirit Guardians. These are Gorilla (Wumba), Eagle (Kwati), Jaguar (Rezoka), and Centipede (Balazan).
Each Spirit Guardian has unique traits that can greatly assist you in battle. This makes Spiritborn a versatile class that can adjust to various situations.
As explained by Blizzard Entertainment:
“The warrior sees her strength in the Gorilla, the hunter sees his speed in the Jaguar, the strategist sees their vigil in the Eagle, and the apothecary sees her practice in the Centipede and the decay it devours.”
Spiritborn warriors have impressive acrobatic skills and can perform three-hit combo attacks. They are experts in hand-to-hand combat, making them formidable in close-range battles. For defense, they can not only dodge or block incoming attacks but also redirect the force back at the attacker.
