Razor Wings - Spiritborn Build for Diablo 4 (Season 7)

Build Introduction

This endgame build focuses on the newly added Aspect of Endless Talons and the new unique Quarterstaff Sunstained War-Crozier in Season 7, giving a boost to Razor Wings gameplay. In short, this gameplay is built around the Intricacy passive and The Hunter charges to let you cast free Razor Wings. With strong barrier generation, a powerful ultimate, and the synergies increasing your critical hits, it offers a high-impact playstyle. Though this build requires specific gear and aspects, it is an excellent pick for players who are looking for a rewarding and dynamic playstyle.

This endgame guide assumes your Spiritborn is Level 60 and meets all the build requirements. If you are just starting out with a new Spiritborn character, we recommend heading over to the Quill Volley Leveling Build and then switching to this endgame build when ready.

Required Aspects

Skill Bar and Skill Tree Points

Follow the points allocated in the Skill Tree above for the completed build. If you are missing skill points, complete Renown Tier 1-4 in every zone to get the missing additional points.

Spirit Hall Choice

The Spirit Hall allows you to combine two different Spirit Guardians or stick with just one.

Primary: Jaguar
- Every 15th time you deal direct damage to an enemy with a Jaguar Skill, unleash an additional strike dealing 15% of the damage you have dealt to them in the last 0.5 seconds. All Skills are now also Jaguar Skills.
Secondary: Gorilla
- Maximum Resolve increased by 2. When you have at least 5 stacks of Resolve, you are Unstoppable.

For this endgame build, we use the Jaguar as the primary Spirit Guardian for additional damage. Additionally, we pick the Gorilla as secondary Spirit Guardian to make all our skills receive the Gorilla tag as well, thanks to our unique helmet Harmony of Ebewaka.

Gear, Stats, Gems, Runes, and Elixirs

The following sections cover all systems that are important if you want to improve the power of your character in the endgame of Diablo 4.

Legendary Aspects

Each Aspect is listed with its matching gear slot. Do your best to keep each Aspect in the assigned slot. Remember to salvage Legendary Items with higher Aspect values to unlock them in the Codex of Power, and then imprint them onto gear pieces with the preferred affixes.

Additionally, if you are trying to farm a specific item, we recommend using your Obols to target farm them!

Gear Slot	Gems/Runes	Aspect / Unique	Legendary Aspect / Unique Power
Helm	Grand Amethyst	Harmony of Ebewaka	According to your secondary Spirit Hall choice, your skills are all additionally Jaguar, Eagle, Gorilla, or Centipede Skills. Your Skills deal {x}% increased damage per Spirit type they have.
Chest	Grand Amethyst	Aspect of Interdiction	Gain {x}% Block Chance per Resolve stack.
Gloves		Aspect of Endless Talons	Razor Wings hitting an enemy increases your Eagle Skill damage by {x}% for 4 seconds, up to 30-50%. Razor Wing Critical Strikes grant 3 stacks.
Pants	Xol Gar	Juggernaut’s Aspect	Gain {x} Armor, but your Evade has 100% increased Cooldown.
Boots		Duelist’s Aspect	Maximum Ferocity increased by {x}.
Amulets(50% bonus)	Grand Skull or Occult Gem	Aspect of Unyielding Hits	Casting a Gorilla Skill increases your Weapon Damage by {x}% of your Armor for 3 seconds.

Weapon (200% bonus)	Yul Que	Sunstained War-Crozier	Your Focus Skills benefit from all their Upgrades, and they increase the damage of your Potency Skills by {x}% for 8 seconds, up to 100-200%

Stat Priority and Tempering Affixes

Affixes on the same line are considered to be equally important. Bolded affixes are the most important targets for Masterworking upgrades. To masterwork, you will need rare materials that only drop from Nightmare Dungeons. Be sure to check our Tempering and Masterworking guides, for more details about these topics.

Slot	Targeted Gear Affix	Tempering Affixes
Helm	1. All Stats 2. Movement Speed 3. Damage Reduction 4. Ranks to Velocity	N/A
Chest	1. Armor 2. Dexterity 3. Maximum Life	Worldly Endurance (Defensive) – Total Armor Natural Schemes (Utility) – Barrier Generation
Gloves	1. Attack Speed 2. Armor 3. Critical Strike Chance	Worldly Finesse (Offensive) – Critical Strike Damage Natural Schemes (Utility) – Barrier Generation
Pants	1. Armor 2. Dexterity 3. Maximum Life	Worldly Endurance (Defensive) – Total Armor Natural Schemes (Utility) – Barrier Generation
Boots	1. Movement Speed 2. Resistance to All Elements 3. Armor	Natural Schemes (Utility) – Barrier Generation Natural Motion (Mobility) – Movement Speed
Amulet	1. Total Armor 2. % Dexterity 3. Critical Strike Chance	Eagle Finesse (Offensive) – Eagle Damage Spiritborn Resolve (Defensive) – Total Armor
Rings	1. Critical Strike Chance 2. Maximum Life 3. Attack Speed	Worldly Finesse (Offensive) – Critical Strike Damage Eagle Efficiency (Resource)- + Razor Wings Charges
Weapon	1. Dexterity 2. Maximum Life 3. Ranks to Focus Skills 4. Chance For Potency Skills to Deal Double Damage	N/A

The priority order of Resistances is Lightning > Poison > Fire > Cold > Shadow.

Make sure to reach the Armor Cap of 1,000 for survivability. However, as this builds scales with armor, we benefit from having more than the minimum. This applies to any build using the Aspect of Unyielding Hits, where higher armor increases overall damage. Furthermore, in higher difficulties, there will be a penalty to armor and resistance, so you will need a higher amount to compensate for the loss.

Gems and Runewords

Listed below are the recommended Gems and Runewords to socket into your gear.

Gems

Weapon Gems	Armor Gems	Jewelry Gems
Yul Que	Grand Amethyst For more Dexterity	Grand Skull or Grand Diamond For more Armor or For more Resistance

Occult Gems

For your Jewelry sockets, you can also equip Occult Gems in Season 7. Here are some recommended Occult Gems for this build:

Cornucopia: While you have three or more Growth and Decay Witch Powers slotted, you generate 30% more Barrier, gain 30% more Fortify, and have 30% more Thorns.
Moonlight Ward: For each rank in your slotted Unique Witchcraft Power, you gain 3% Damage Reduction and 0.5% Maximum Resistance to All Elements.
Dust Stone: For each of your Auras and Hexes an enemy is afflicted by, they take 2.5% increased damage from you.

Runewords

Runewords, unlocked during the Vessel of Hatred campaign, replace gems in gear and can improve your build by combining a trigger Rune of Ritual and an effect Rune of Invocation. Ritual Runes generate Offerings, which Invocation Runes consume to trigger effects, with some even gaining overflow bonus power from excess Offerings. You can equip up to two Runeword pairs (four Runes) at a time. For a detailed guide on Runewords, check out our Runewords Guide!

The following are recommended Runeword combination options for the Razor Wings endgame build of the Spiritborn:

Runeword Combination	Runeword Effects
Xol Gar	Xol – Gain: 150 Offering. Evoke Power from another Class. Gar – Requires: 25 Offering (Overflow: Gain Multiple Stacks). Cooldown: 1 second. Gain 2.5% Critical Strike Chance for 5 seconds, up to 25%.
Yul Que	Yul – Gain: 50 Offering. Cast a Skill with a Cooldown. Que – Requires: 300 Offering (Overflow: Increased Duration). Cooldown: 1 Seconds. Evoke the Druid’s Earthen Bulwark, granting yourself a Barrier.

Which Elixirs Should You Use?

Visit the Alchemist and craft an Elixir providing any Resistance you need most, or the Assault Elixir to increase Attack Speed. Some Elixirs cannot be crafted and only drop from activities like Helltides or Nightmare Dungeons. Additionally, make sure to keep your health potion upgraded!

The following Elixirs are useful for most Spiritborn builds:

Elixir of Precision provides the highest damage output increase.
Elixir of Advantage increases your attack speed
Elixir of Fortitude for additional survivability

Paragon Board

Paragon unlocks after reaching Level 60 and is considered an endgame progression system. Leveling up your paragon greatly increases your character’s power! We recommend using the following Legendary nodes and Glyphs to improve the build even further as you grind through the endgame. Note that each Glyph’s information and radius are based on the Level 46 version.

Witchcraft Powers

During Season 7, you can equip and rank up 6 Witchcraft Powers as you progress. These powers can be acquired at the Coven’s Altars near the Tree of Whispers. To purchase them, you will need Restless Rot, a currency earned naturally through doing Headhunts.

These Witchcraft Powers provide unique ways to strengthen your build. As you progress through the above leveling journey, consider prioritizing the following powers:

Witchcraft Power & Type	Effect
Doom Orb (Unique, Eldritch)	An ominous orb of pure Eldritch energy circles you damaging any enemy it touches for 400% Fire damage. Doom orb may launch itself at distant enemies before returning. At Rank 5 and above: Kills or damage to bosses empower the orb’s damage by 5%. After 100%, the Orb explodes, dealing 5200 damage to nearby enemies before reforming 3 seconds later.
Soul Harvest (Growth & Decay)	Feed upon the life force of nearby enemies whenever you use a skill with a cooldown, increasing your primary stat by 3% per monster for x seconds. At Rank 9 and above: Soul Harvest does not lose duration so long as enemies are nearby.
Aura of Misfortune (Psyche)	Enemies near you have a x% chance for their attacks to be interrupted. Does not work on bosses. At Rank 5 and above: Auro of Misfortune increases your Movement Speed by 5% and Slows enemies by 30%.
Hex of Shattering (Psyche)	Damage done by your Witchcraft Effects afflicts enemies with Hex of Shattering causing them to deal x% reduced damage for 5 seconds. At Rank 8 and above: When a Hex effect is applied to Headrotten, all damage will be guaranteed critical strikes for 5 seconds.
Wave of Woe (Eldritch)	Release a Wave of Woe when damaging an enemy with your skills. Wave of Woe deals an additional x Shadow damage and echoes this damage to all other nearby enemies of the same type. At Rank 5 and above: Damage is increased by 15% each time damage is echoed and is guaranteed to echo at least 5 times. May strike the same target multiple times.
Hex of Flames (Eldritch)	Lucky Hit: You have up to a x% chance to apply Hex of Flames. Hex of Flames deals 40% additional Fire damage each time you deal damage to the target. At Rank 7 and above: Hex of Flames explodes dealing damage to all nearby enemies when you land a critical strike.

Mercenaries

During the Vessel of Hatred campaign, you will unlock different NPC Mercenaries who join you on your travels. In the early endgame, you can generally pick any mercenary you like, as they will not play an essential role until you optimize your build. However, if you would prefer to get a recommendation, we would advise selecting Subo as your main companion, for the added survivability he provides, and Raheir as Reinforcement.

Subo Skill Tree choices:

Core Skill: Wire Trap
Core Passive: Ready At Hand
Iconic Skill: Trip Mines
Iconic Passive: Loaded Munitions

Raheir Reinforcement choices:

Opportunity Skill: Pick “Injured” as opportunity skill (will automatically trigger when you become Injured)
Reinforcement Skill: Provoke

Build Mechanics and Rotation

This build focuses on getting the most damage output of Razor Wings while maintaining strong crowd control and survivability. The key mechanic is managing Razor Wings effectively, by using its charges as often as possible. You can have up to 15 active Razor Wings at a time, so make sure to cast it on cooldown or when charges reset. Additionally, your tempers on Rings will provide extra charges as well as using Aspect of Endless Talons will increase their damage.

This build synergizes with your Armor through the Aspect of Unyielding Hits. All your active skills are categorized as Gorilla skills due to Harmony of Ebewaka. Therefore stacking up Armor on your gear is very important.

Pair this with The Hunter, which resets Razor Wings’ cooldown when used immediately after casting Razor Wings thanks to Intricacy, granting 3 free charges.

Vortex and Scourge work together to do some crowd control. Vortex pulls enemies closer, setting them up for your Razor Wings, while Scourge slows and poisons them for sustained damage and crowd control. Make sure to move strategically using Evade, as the Acceleration passive boosts Razor Wings damage for 2 seconds after each use.

Armored Hide improves your block chances and triggers the Aspect of Redirected Force, boosting your critical strike.

Finally, always keep Ravager active, as it significantly increases your overall damage. With the Sunstained War-Crozier Quarterstaff, Razor Wings damage is increased by up to 200%, and you gain upgraded skills from Vortex and Ravager, allowing you to allocate skill points into passives for more power.

Engage with Vortex.
Apply Scourge.
Activate Armored Hide for survivability and block chance, triggering the Aspect of Redirected Force for more critical strike damage.
Ravager to increase overall damage.
Evade to activate Acceleration, which increases Razor Wings damage.
Spam Razor Wings
Use The Hunter whenever it’s ready, to reset Razor Wings.

Obol Gambling

Obol gambling is a great way to potentially find item upgrades or items missing from your build. Similar to Kadala in Diablo 3, you can use Obol vendors in town to try and get any specific item that you are missing. When a Level 60 Character spends Obols, all gear from that vendor will be 750 item power, the highest non-Ancestral item power in the game, allowing you to fill out gear with the affixes or Legendary Aspects you need. There is also a small chance to receive an Ancestral piece with item power 800.
