Not only that, Diablo 4 officials also broke the routine and will launch Season of Hatred, also known as Diablo 4 Season 6, two months after the release of Diablo 4 Season 5, on October 6th. I think this is also the official want to let players still have the energy and reason to continue playing this game after completing the DLC story missions. The following is the main content of the Vessel of Hatred expansion.
New Class
Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred will bring a new chapter to D4, a dark fantasy ARPG, and the biggest change is the addition of a class called Spiritborn.
Spiritborn class, as a martial arts class, can use skills based on powerful animal gods in the spirit world. I don't know if any players have played Diablo 3. This class is similar to the monks in it, and they can also throw giant centipede gods at the enemy. Spiritborn can sprint quickly and shuttle through dungeons. Spiritborn mainly uses glaives and quarterstaffs as their major weapons, which are the new Diablo 4 Items that were recently added. It is not yet known whether existing professions can use these weapons. We will try them to find out. Or, go to the well-known game consulting website IGGM, where there is first-hand information on all popular games, and questions can be answered here.
Most importantly, we can summon Spiritborn Animal Guardian to destroy groups of monsters. And, depending on the Spiritborn Animal Guardian, different skills and unique advantages will be obtained.
The following are the skills and unique advantages given to Spiritborn Animal Guardian. Reasonable allocation will maximize the advantages of Spiritborn.
Eagle: Movement speed and ranged skills
Centipede: Life steal and poison skills
Gorilla: Damage reduction and melee-range skills
Jaguar: Attack speed and mobility skills
Generally speaking, a class of professions only focuses on one or two types of skills, but Spiritborn is different. It is necessary to mix and reasonably match the skills of the four soul guardians to maximize the effect. This makes the Spiritborn class more complex and more playable than other traditional classes. According to reports, the official may plan to update the other five classes in the future, which are inspired by the birth of the Spiritborn class.
New Mercenaries
Mercenaries are NPC allies that we can recruit in the DLC. Scenarios, we can bring a mercenary to participate in the battle. In addition, when using specific skills or being affected by specific things in battle, we can also hire a second mercenary to fight.
Here are the four types of mercenaries we can hire:
Subo: An archer who can rain arrows on enemies from far away
Veryana: A melee fighter who gains power by killing several enemies in a row
Raheir: A shieldbearer who can protect you with a barrier
Aldkin: A child who can transform into a demon for powerful ranged and AOE attacks
When we recruit mercenaries and fight alongside them, we will build trust or a rapport. And as the relationship improves, we will gain skill points. These skill points can be used in their unique skill trees, which will in turn gain more item storage and improve the ability to trade with them to purchase items. For this reason, it must be a wise and reasonable move to reserve enough Diablo 4 Gold. In short, recruiting and maintaining a rapport with mercenaries is something we are very worthwhile to try and recommend.
New Campaign
The story of Vessel of Hatred takes place in a place called Nahantu, a jungle area at the southern end of the Diablo 4 world map. Nahantu is the home of the Spiritborn and the place where Neyrelle, the young girl we met in the first act of the campaign, took Mephisto away.
As one of the ultimate villains of the series, Mephisto is also known as Prime Evils. These demons are always doing nasty things like destroying the sanctuary. It all started when Neril trapped Mephisto in a soul fragment. When Mephisto was trapped inside, he was still able to manipulate things. Does this also indicate that the control of the soul fragment over him will not last long?
And Nahantu, where the story takes place, is also a place where people once worshiped demons. This place is the starting point of the story, and if Mephisto is used as an excuse for events related to angels, the subsequent story must be very exciting. (In fact, the official has planned to release a new expansion every year)
The above is the main update of Vessel of Hatred that will be released soon. As for new weapons, new runes, etc., I think players can have a more intuitive and clear understanding through the game. If you really want to know the details, visit IGGM. I believe there will be the answers you want here.
Enjoy the game!
