Spiritborn overview

A Spiritborn is defined by its access to four spirit animals: Jaguar, Eagle, Gorilla and Centipede. Each of his skills is represented by one of these spirits, and each skill within the Spirit class generally works well together. This makes planning your own build fairly simple, as you can usually pick the Spirit you want to use and then only use that Spirit's skills.

Of course, some Spirit skills are strong no matter what type of build you're using, so most often it's better to use skills from two or three Spirits at once, with most of your build centered around one Spirit.

Using Spiritborn Dexterity as their main stats and have access to them Polearms, Glaives and Quarterstaves for their weapons.

Hall of spirits

When you reach level 15 and complete the Spiritborn class quest, you gain access to Hall of spirits. You can choose one here primary Spirit passive which basically defines your play style. At level 30 you can choose a secondary passive.

The main passive also makes all skills of the selected Spirit type a Ghost, meaning that if you choose the Eagle main passive, every skill becomes an Eagle skill. This helps create extra synergy when a skill or legendary aspect requires the use of a specific spirit type.

Jaguar Spirit Overview

The Spiritborn Jaguar's abilities are centered around fast, multiple attacks which individually deal low damage, but become incredibly powerful when combined together. The core of Jaguar's arsenal is Ferocitywho increases attack speed by five per stack, stacking up to four times.

Ferocity is gained primarily through Rake, the Core Jaguar skill, but also through the third hit of the Basic Attack, Thrash. However, when combined with Unique Quarterstaff Sepazontecwhich only triggers Thrash's third hit, you'll be able to easily maintain Ferocity.
