Vessel of Hatred introduces the Spiritborn as a playable Diablo IV class.
The Spiritborn is a jungle warrior associated with Nahantu, the region added by Diablo IV’s first expansion. Its identity is built around spiritual guardians linked to animal powers, giving the class a style distinct from the base game’s Barbarian, Sorcerer, Rogue, Necromancer, and Druid.
The class name can be confused with several established Diablo terms. Demon Hunter is a Diablo III class, while the Templar is a follower in Diablo III rather than a Diablo IV playable class. Warden is also not the name of a playable class introduced by Vessel of Hatred.
The Spiritborn’s arrival expanded Diablo IV’s roster beyond the five launch classes. It also reinforced the expansion’s focus on Nahantu’s culture, wildlife, and spiritual traditions.
