Evade Eagle Spiritborn Endgame Guide

Season 8 - Belial's ReturnEndgame

Last Updated:May 11, 2025|Changelog|FAQ

Welcome to the Evade Eagle Spiritborn Endgame Guide. This build Evades through content at top speed. While most Spiritborn builds have good mobility, this one specializes in high Movement Speed and Evasion making it one of the fastest builds in the game. It deals damage almost exclusively from various sources of Storm Feathers: Eagle Primary Spirit Hall, Falling Feathers, and Sunbird's Gorget. As you cast Mobility Skills and Evade, you spawn Storm Feathers to deal damage while ramping up the Firestorm from Sunbird's Gorget.

The new Sunbird's Gorget turns all Storm Feathers into Jaguar skills. This allows them to scale with any passives, items, and glyphs that affect Jaguar skills, while also letting both the Firestorm and Storm Feathers to stack Potent much quicker. Ranks to Potent, Furnace, and Acceleration come default on the amulet, making this a great way to scale both single target and area damage.

Obtaining and equipping Sepazontec can allow for infinite Evade thanks to Thunderspike, however Sepazontec provides no real damage boost for the Evade Eagle Spiritborn. General Cooldown Reduction affixes like on Harlequin Crest apply to Evade and stacking enough allows you to use Evade endlessly. Once that happens, you can swap to a Quarterstaff and utilize your weapon to boost Storm Feathers through Uniques, or Legendary Aspects and Tempers. Once your damage is online, you can relax and enjoy a very comfortable build excelling at Speedfarming.

Requirements for this build

  • Sepazontec

OR

  • 4+ Evade Charges
  • 59%+ Total Evade Cooldown Reduction (see mechanics section below)
  • A Legendary Quarterstaff

Note

This build guide assumes you have a Level 60 Character and unlocked Torment 1. To get there, level up with one of our Spiritborn Leveling Guides. To see how this Build compares against others, check out our various Build Tier Lists.

Boss Powers

Season 8 - Belial's Return
Evade Eagle Spiritborn

Season 8 is the Season of Belial's Return. It allows you to tap into Boss Powers obtained from World, Event, and Lair Bosses throughout Sanctuary. The new seasonal mechanic, Apparition Incursions, is available at any difficulty level and gives you the opportunity to unlock a subset of these powers very early on. Various Apparition Monsters appear in these special timed events throughout Sanctuary. Defeating these monsters spawns 1 of 10 Apparition Bosses to hunt you down and defeating them grants you their Boss Power. After defeating the first Boss, continue the event for a chance to fight a second Apparition Boss, after which Belial himself joins the fray.

There are 24 Boss Powers available and the first time you defeat one of these Bosses, you claim their power for yourself. Boss Powers each have Main and Modifier effects to boost your build. 13 are available in all difficulties (from Apparition Incursions and World Bosses), while 11 can only be acquired in Torment 1 difficulty or higher from Lair Bosses and Lilith. You can equip 1 Main Power and 3 Modifiers, and all powers can be upgraded up to Rank 20, increasing the potency of both the Main and Modifier effect. You use Spectral Ash to upgrade these powers, dropped from Apparition Incursions and by defeating any Bosses. Boss Powers also scale with your Paragon Level, growing stronger as you progress.

Best-in-Slot Boss Powers

Main Power

Varshan's Life Steal - When combined with Lord Zir's Blood Pool Modifier, this greatly offsets the health drain from Jacinth Shell. Every second, you heal a significant portion of your Maximum Life.

Modifiers

  • Kirma's Sparks - Another source of Cooldown reduction for Evade. Prioritize maxing this power first.
  • Lord Zir's Blood Pool Modifier - As explained above, this is primarily taken for extra healing each time Varshan's Life Steal Main power activates.
  • Hatred's Embrace's Haste - Grants a large amount of Critical Strike Chance, bringing you much closer to 100%.
Evade Eagle Spiritborn Boss Powers

Alternate Boss Powers

  • Urivar's Lobbed Bombs Main - Primarily taken for the 15% cooldown reduction to help ease gear masterworking requirements before you can have full Evade uptime. Use this if you are unable to meet the Evade breakpoints
  • Kirma's Sparks Main - Since you are constantly using Evade, this power allows you to deal some additional damage to surrounding enemies while easily activating Modifiers that require a Main power activation. Can be used with the Starter variant for some more damage before scaling up in other methods.
  • Sinerat's Flames Modifier- Provides a boost to Non-Physical Damage. The Evade Eagle Spritborn primarily deals Lightning damage, along with Fire damage when Sunbird's Gorget is added. This can replace either Lord Zir's Blood Pool if you do not need the extra healing, or Hatred's Embrace's Haste when using Heir of Perdition.
  • Flesh Reaper's Disruption Modifier - Provides a damage increase against Vulnerable enemies by using a Crowd Control Duration temper.

Skills & Gameplay

Season 8 - Belial's Return
Evade Eagle Spiritborn
  • Thunderspike provides a source of Vulnerable, and the 3rd hit resets your Evade cooldown. Therefore, when you Evade Accelerated Thunderspike resets your Evade cooldown. If not, manually cast Thunderspike to reset your Evade cooldown and continue the skill rotation as normal.
  • Rock Splitter is primarily used to activate Unyielding Hits and grant you up to 100% Block Chance for Redirected Force. Since it is also a Mobility skill, it spawns Storm Feathers from Falling Feathers to deal damage and activate the Firestorm from Sunbird's Gorget. Lastly, hitting enemies with the 3rd attack grants some Resolve per enemy hit. Cast this every 3 seconds to maintain Unyielding Hits uptime.
  • Rushing Claw is used to activate Falling Feathers very quickly against strong targets. Since it dashes you through enemies, 2-3 casts of it spawn and pick up the feathers from Falling Feathers. It should almost always have a charge so it's a quick way to refresh the buff from Adaptive Stances since Rock Splitter is the other skill you cast most often.
  • Armored Hide is your source for Unstoppable and Resolve. It grants 100% Block Chance and grants you the full damage bonus forRedirected Force for a short time. Rock Splitter covers you for Block Chance most of the time, so save this for when Resolve are getting low or you become Crowd Controlled.
  • Counterattack increases Critical Strike Damage by up to 30%[X] based on the number of Close enemies. Paired with Mirage, dodging also boosts your Critical Strike Chance for a short time.
  • The Hunter is used to execute low health enemies and grant 4 additional stacks of Ferocity to increase the damage gained from Furnace. d4-skill id=1663210]The Devourer[/d4-skill] is used depending on the progression variant being used, and they are all used to stack Supremacy.
Evade Eagle Spiritborn Endgame Skill Tree
  • Adaptive Stances is only activated from direct skill casts, but grants a large amount of Core Stats as you cast skills from different base Spirit Halls.

Skill Rotation

  • Start with The Hunter to engage enemies.
  • Cast Rock Splitter to spawn some feathers and activate Unyielding Hits. Remember to cast this in between Evade to maintain the buff.
  • Spam Evade to deal damage with Storm Feathers from Eagle Primary Spirit Hall. Try to aim Evade towards fallen Storm Feathers to activate Sunbird's Gorget.
  • Dash with Rushing Claw to activate Adaptive Stances.
  • Do not spam Counterattack as you need to Block a hit every 10 seconds to maintain the doubled bonus.
  • (On Bosses):
    • Cast Counterattack to avoid dangerous incoming hits that can be dodged.
    • Use Rushing Claw a few times back and forth to fully activate Sunbird's Gorget then continue casting Evade around them.

Spirit Halls

Primary: You bring the thunder, Eagle brings the lightning, or in this case the Storm Feathers.

Secondary: Eagle activates Loyalty's Mantle and grants a large Critical Strike Chance boost before you are capped. Jaguar gives an additional stack of Ferocity for Furnace in Mythic and Pit Push setups.

Paragon & Glyphs

Important

Carefully check your Paragon Boards to ensure correct board rotation. Glyphs go from a radius of 3 to 4 at level 15 and from 4 to 5 at level 46. Some of them cannot be activated before reaching these thresholds! Progress through The Pit to rank up your Glyphs.

Use the slider to see progression steps. At around Paragon 200, leveling slows down significantly and all important Rare clusters, Legendary nodes and Glyph sockets should be unlocked. Afterwards, you can min/max your build with minor tweaks and by picking up additional smaller nodes.

Runes

Season 8 - Belial's Return
Evade Eagle Spiritborn

You can have up to two Runewords in your setup, each consisting of one Ritual and one Invocation Rune. Socket them in Two-Handed Weapons if your build calls for them, otherwise place them into your Armor pieces to replace normal gems. The Evade Eagle Spiritborn focuses on the following combos:

Best in Slot

  • Cem + Que - For extra defense & offense through Viscous Shield
  • Bac + Ohm - War Cry grants a consistent damage boost to you and allies if you are grouping.

Alternative choices

As long as you haven't unlocked the final setup or found the top runes, you can also benefit from these options:

  • Gar - grants additional Critical Strike Chance
  • Zec - Reduces your Ultimate cooldown allowing for you to take advantage of  Intricacy more often.
  • Cir - Periodically grants a large amount of offering.
  • Qax - grants a large spike of damage but may not always be consistent in it's damage boost.

Learn more about Runes and how they work in our dedicated Runewords Overview and Runewords Tier List.

Mercenaries

Season 8 - Belial's Return
Evade Eagle Spiritborn

Mercenaries are unlocked during the Vessel of Hatred campaign and assist you in battle. There are 4 separate Mercenaries to choose from, each with their own skill trees and abilities. You can have one hired (permanent) mercenary during solo play and a reinforcement who assists you from time to time in certain situations.

Hired: Raheir

Raheir offers unparalleled defense, crowd control, and grouping. Shield Charge taunts enemies and groups them for you, while increasing the damage they take through Mocking Lure. Raheir also increases your Armor and gives access to Fortify and increasing your Damage Reduction.

Reinforcement: Varyana

Call Varyana, the Berserker Crone to cast Earth Breaker when you cast any skill in combat to repeatedly knock enemies down and build stagger.

Build Variants

Season 8 - Belial's Return
Evade Eagle Spiritborn

This section is designed to guide your Evade Eagle Spiritborn from a fresh level 60 into the very late endgame using the three variants Starter, Ancestral and Mythic. At the final step, you should be fully decked out with a great all-rounder build. From there, follow the other min/max variants if you want to optimize around certain activities such as Pit Pushing, Speedfarming and more.

Starter
Ancestral
Mythic
Pit Pushing
Speedfarming

If you are fresh in Torment 1 coming from a leveling guide, you will need to acquire Sepazontec before starting this build. Since only some Aspects can be guaranteed from Dungeon unlocks for the Codex of Power, focus on acquiring the additional aspects via gambling with Murmuring Obols.

Gear & Skills

Starter Evade Eagle Spiritborn Gear
Starter Evade Eagle Spiritborn Skills
  • Early on in your progression, focus on armor & resistances to survive. Each Torment difficulty adds a 250 armor and 25% all res penalty and it's recommended to keep both capped (1000 armor, 70+ res) at all times. As you unlock higher power gear, masterworking levels and more paragon points, you naturally scale your character into the higher difficulties and can start replacing some of these rolls with offensive or utility stats.
  • Sepazontec lets you Evade endlessly while Thunderspike is on your skill bar. Each Evade grants the 3rd attack bonus of Thunderspike, reducing your Evade cooldown by 5 seconds each time. Sepazontec is only used to reset Evade so the affixes and level do not matter.
  • Sepazontec does not add much damage to Eagle Primary Spirit Hall so you should seek to add Cooldown Reduction and Evade Cooldown Reduction tempers to reach 59%+ Total Evade Cooldown Reduction and swap to one of the other variants
  • You need to have 2 charges of Evade. Acceleration provides an extra charge.
  • The Devourer allows you to easily maintain stacks of Supremacy while it is active.
  • Vital Strikes normally only lets one attack benefit from Vulnerable, however since Storm Feathers from Eagle Primary Spirit Hall apply the debuff, this becomes a near permanent 45%[x] damage boost.
  • Alacrity is vital to keeping Armored Hide active while you have long cooldowns. It provides you with Resolve to maintain 100% Block Chance for Redirected Force.

Paragon Boards

Start with the board setup below to quickly activate Jagged Plume. As you unlock more Paragon Boards, shift around your glyphs to get to the Level 15 Glyphs board, and continue progressing using this setup through the Ancestral variant.

Starter and Ancestral Eagle Evade Spiritborn Paragon Board

Mercenaries

Hired: Subo

Subo is primarily used for Seeker which provides additional detail to your map by showing enemy locations, and high priority targets.

Reinforcement: Raheir

Call Raheir, the Shieldbearer to aid you if you become Injured by protecting you with Bastion

Starter and Ancestral Evade Eagle Spiritborn Mercenaries

The goal here is to progress through the Torment difficulties as you unlock Ancestrals, Paragon points, all Legendary Aspects, Temper mods and the most important Uniques to pilot this build. Some Legendary Aspects are used temporarily to fill slots that may be replaced with more Unique items later on.

Gear & Skills

Confirm Evade Cooldown

This setup requirres 59%+ Total Evade Cooldown Reduction. Check Mechanics for an explanation on how Cooldown Reduction is calculated.

  • As you upgrade your gear to ancestrals with more masterworking levels and reach higher paragon, you can focus more and more on replacing armor & resistance rolls with better stats.
  • Thanks to Boss Powers and Evade Cooldown Reduction Tempers, you should have enough Cooldown Reduction to constantly cast Evade, or be extremely close. Prioritize reaching the necessary breakpoint. Check your cooldown with the formula in the Mechanics section below.
  • This setup swaps to the new Sunbird's Gorget amulet which turns all Storm Feathers into Jaguar skills. This allows them to scale with any passives, items, and glyphs that affect Jaguar skills, while also letting both the Firestorm and Storm Feathers to stack Potent much quicker. Ranks to Potent, Furnace, and Acceleration come default on the Amulet, making this a great way to scale both single target and area damage.
  • Sepazontec is swapped to a Legendary Quarterstaff using Redirected Force with Storm Feathers Potency and Furnace tempers. Furnace increases all of the Critical Strike Damage you deal across all your Storm Feathers. Quarterstaff is required for the Block Chance implicit.
  • The Hunter grants you 4 additional stacks of Ferocity to further increase your damage from Furnace.
  • Falling Feathers is imprinted on your Ring to enable the Firestorm from Sunbird's Gorget. Absorb Storm Feathers by casting Evade over them or casting Rushing Claw multiple times against the same target.
  • Band of First Breath consumes Resolve to boost your damage. As you get low on stacks, cast Armored Hide to get back to your max.
  • Change your Secondary Spirit Hall to Jaguar for an additonal Ferocity stack.
  • Swap Vital Strikes to Adaptive Stances as Vulnerable will no longer be constant due to the Firestorm consuming it. Adaptive Stances is only activated from direct skill casts, but grants a large amount of Core Stats as you cast skills from different base Spirit Halls. Be sure to cast one every 7 seconds.
  • Change your Mercenaries and Runes to the ones shown earlier in the guide.

Paragon Board

Equipping Sunbird's Gorget enables Hone as a glyph option and replaces Fulminate to help cap Critical Strike Chance. Use the Paragon setup below for the Mythic and Pit Push variants as well.

Ancestral, Mythic, and Pit Push Evade Eagle Spiritborn Paragon Board

This is the final version of the build's progression, including all regular Unique items, Mythic Uniques, Legendary Aspects, Temper mods and Masterworking, leaving you with a great all-rounder build for all content in the game. Additional variants use this as a baseline to optimize around certain activities.

Confirm Evade Cooldown

This setup requirres 59%+ Total Evade Cooldown Reduction. Check Mechanics for an explanation on how Cooldown Reduction is calculated.

  • Harlequin Crest grants you significant Cooldown Reduction for all skills and makes uptime on previously timed buffs much easier. It also reduces the cooldown of Evade.
  • Ensure you maintain 5,000+ armor as you move between Torment Difficultites. This amount is post-Torment penalty.

This setup optimizes the build to push the highest possible Tiers in The Pit after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Confirm Evade Cooldown

This setup requirres 59%+ Total Evade Cooldown Reduction. This requires a high roll on your Evade Cooldown Reduction temper on Boots, along with multiple Masterwork crits. Check Mechanics for an explanation on how Cooldown Reduction is calculated.

  • When fighting monsters in high tiers of the Pit, remember that after Crowd Controlling elites for 5 seconds, they become Unstoppable for 8 seconds. This may be the right moment to start kiting them around because your damage done goes way down and they can freely retaliate.
  • The Pit Push setup removes Harlequin Crest for Heir of Perdition. This requires at least 32% Evade Cooldown on boots after Masterworking.
  • Swap Varshan's Life Steal for Urivar's Lobbed Bombs to gain more Cooldown Reduction, and Hatred's Embrace's Haste for Sinerat's Flames to gain more damage since caps your Critical Strike Chance.
  • Fueled becomes less reliable as you kill less enemies within The Pit. The points are moved to Nourishment and Sustenance for additional healing.

This Speedfarming variant optimizes the build for easy activities like Helltides, Whispers, Nightmare Dungeons and lower Pit Tiers after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Confirm Evade Cooldown

This setup requirres 59%+ Total Evade Cooldown Reduction. Check Mechanics for an explanation on how Cooldown Reduction is calculated.

  • This setup focuses only on Eagle Primary Spirit Hall for damage, with the goal being you defeat enemies before the Firestorm could even damage them.
  • Swap Band of First Breath for a Legendary Ring using Alacrity. The affixes can match the other Legendary Ring.
  • Replace The Hunter with The Devourer and replace the Cooldown Reduction tempers on rings as well to lower The Devourer Cooldown to less than 15 seconds.
  • Swap Falling Feathers for Fell Soothsayer's to spread killing blow damage to additional enemies
  • The ideal weapon type is a Legendary Polearm with Redirected Force, however any weapon works. Swap the Furnace temper for Primary Eagle Spirit Hall Potency.
  • You only need to spam Evade for this setup. Activate Armored Hide and The Devourer on cooldown to maintain 100% Block Chance and 30 stacks of Supremacy.
