Diablo 4 Season 8 Prediction: What Will Happen In The New Season?

With the start of the new Lunar Year, Diablo 4 Lunar Awakening event has returned to the Sanctuary. This is a limited-time event that celebrates Lunar New Year with a series of in-game rewards and buffs, allowing the fiery New Year atmosphere to spread to the game. Lunar Awakening Event Overview Just like last year, Lunar Awakening event will be available in Seasonal and Eternal Realms. This event starts at 10am PST on February 4 and lasts for 2 weeks until 10am PST on February 18. During this event in Diablo 4 Season 7, all Shrines in the Sanctuary will be transformed into snake-themed Lunar Shrines, which not only have new appearances, new icons on the map, but these Shrines will also be affected by a phenomenon that gives them amazing powers. Activate any of these Shrines to earn 100% extra XP for 2 minutes and gain enhanced powers. They are charged with earth energy that manifests as radiant light. Once activated, these Lunar Shrines unleash Miserly Spirits, bringing rewards and the coveted Ancestral Favor Reputation. There are a total of 10 Ancestral Favor Reputation Levels to earn during this event, with rewards including Diablo 4 Gold, Resplendent Spark, and 6 different Lunar-themed cosmetic rewards to unlock, including the new Trag’Oul’s Consort mount. Once you’ve cleared all Reputation Levels, you can continue to earn additional rewards in the form of Unceasing Gifts from the Ancestors caches and collect event cosmetics at Ked Bardu. Lunar Shrines Effects In addition to special enemy drops, these Lunar Shrines grant 100% extra XP for 2 minutes and unique type-based enhancements. Artillery Shrine: Casters have a chance to summon a Holy Bomb. Blast Wave Shrine: Each explosion summons a chain of bombs. Channeling Shrine: Increases attack speed and a chance to reset cooldowns. Conduit Shrine: Summons frequent, powerful lightning strikes. Greed Shrines: Chance to summon a Treasure Goblin, killing them can net you some nice loot. Lethal Shrine: Chance to instantly execute the monster hit, causing surrounding monsters to be terrified. This includes elites, but not bosses and other players. Protection Shrine: Reflects all damage you take, with the amount of damage reflected proportional to level and difficulty. Luckily, these Lunar Shrines can be found throughout dungeons and open world areas, offering lucrative opportunities to collect rare items and speed up your progress. Event Rewards As we said before, during the event, your Ancestral Favor Reputation will increase as you activate Lunar Shrines and kill enemies. This lets you redeem Unceasing Gift from the Ancestors rewards, including six Lunar-themed cosmetics, crafting materials, and a coveted new mount. Additionally, Tejal’s shop has Lunar Awakening Cosmetics and Armor sets for sale, such as Dragon of the Lonely Moon Mount armor and Scholar of the Lonely Moon outfit available for Sorcerer class. Since opportunities are limited, you’ll want to grab them before February 18, 2025. In addition to the rewards, the event also lets you accelerate your character progression. This is prime time to level up quickly and optimize your build to better prepare for the endgame grind of Diablo 4 Season 7. However, Weapon Transmogs, Tattoos, and Mount Trophy offered by this year’s Lunar Awakening event are exactly the same as last year, so if you participated in Lunar Awakening last year, the only new thing for you is the new mount. The new mounts look like a mix of the horses from Crypt Hunter Pack and last year’s event horses, but at least there’s something to earn in the game. To be honest, event rewards like this are more worth the player's time, rather than effortlessly logging into the event to get free cosmetics from the store like Halloween event. After all, a prize that is available to everyone is equal to a prize that is owned by no one. Also Read: How To Get Dorian Pet Which Has Special Season-Specific In Diablo 4 Season 7?

The arrival of Diablo 4 Season 7 introduces a brand new currency, Fugitive Heads. This is not only a necessary material for making Occult Gems, but can also be transformed into Restless Rot, which is an important resource for improving builds, so it is highly sought after by players in the new season. However, Fugitive Heads are very rare, and they are even rarer than Greater Affixes Legendary items under Torment difficulty. This is interesting for ordinary items, and it is entirely possible that players will not see a Head until they reach very high Paragon levels. Now let’s guide you step by step on how to get these Fugitive Heads. Using Draught Of Whispers First, if you have Draught of Whispers, use it first. This is a consumable elixir in Diablo 4 that increases your chance of encountering Fugitive Heads by 50%, and the effect lasts for one hour. Draught of Whispers can come from multiple sources, for example, they can come from Whisper Caches, or from Rootholds Dungeons, or from Headless Husks, all of which increase your chances of getting Fugitive Heads. Playing On The Highest Difficulty Next, you should play with the highest difficulty. You may have noticed that Fugitive Heads only drop at Torment difficulty. So if you play at any difficulty below Torment, you will hardly get any Fugitive Heads. And since the chance of getting Fugitive Heads increases with Torment Difficulty Tier. So ideally, if you want to maximize your farming efficiency, you should farm in Torment IV, if your character is capable of doing so. So, if you want to get more Heads in a short period of time, don’t be stingy about investing Diablo 4 Gold in your build to better optimize the build effect. Farming Headhunts By far, the best source of Fugitive Heads is Headhunts. These Headhunts are the new seasonal areas in Diablo 4, and all you have to do is go there and start doing Whispers, any Whisper objectives will do. This is because when you complete any Whisper objective in the new Headhunts area, Exposed Roots will spawn around. You should click on these Exposed Roots, and then a bunch of random things will happen. Of course, the most anticipated result is that after clicking on Exposed Roots, a boss will be summoned, so you have a better chance of getting a Fugitive Head drop. So you should run around in Headhunts and click on all Exposed Roots you find. If you are lucky, then clicking a few times will summon a boss. You know the boss has been summoned when you get a ping on your mini-map, but other people will get this prompt too. So if someone else clicks on Exposed Roots and then summons a boss, your map will also ping, and you should go there. So once your map pings, you know the boss will eventually spawn at this location. Now, this boss could be a Headless Husk. Unfortunately, you won’t drop a Fugitive Head when you kill it, but the boss itself has a random chance of spawning a Fugitive Head. The chance of a Fugitive Head spawning increases with each Difficulty Tier, and also with your Draught of Whispers applied. This is why you have to play on the highest difficulty, and ideally with Draught of Whispers buff. For example, if you play on the highest difficulty, Torment IV, and have Draught of Whispers buff applied, there is a 15% chance of a Fugitive Head spawning instead of a Headless Husk. The chance of this happening is less on lower difficulties, though, and this only applies to Torment Difficulty. Running Rootholds Dungeon Aside from that, Fugitive Heads can also be obtained from Rootholds Dungeon. Rootholds are mini-dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 7 that operate similarly to Nightmare Dungeons. To get into it, you need to prepare some Whispering Wood Sigils. These Sigils come from Whisper Caches, so when you farm Fugitive Heads in Headhunts, you can also get these Whispering Wood Sigils in your inventory by completing Whispers. When you enter Rootholds, you will go through a dungeon, and at the end of the dungeon you will meet a boss. This boss has a chance to be a Headless Husk and also has a chance to be a Fugitive Head. Unfortunately, the chance of them being Fugitive Heads is not very high. I think this way of collecting Fugitive Heads is not better than Headhunts. Because the chance of getting Fugitive Heads from Rootholds is very low, and it takes longer. Therefore, I only recommend going to Rootholds to get Fugitive Heads if you need items with Greater Affixes or if you have already completed all Headhunts and are waiting for the next Headhunt to appear. Summary Finally, let’s summarize it once more. We recommend that you prioritize collecting Fugitive Heads while running Headhunts, and don’t forget to run around completing Whisper objectives during this time, which will spawn Exposed Roots for you. You should click on all of these Exposed Roots and try to get the boss to spawn, and if any other player spawns a boss, you should also run to that place so that you have a chance to spawn and drop Fugitive Heads. If you have completed all Headhunts areas, then you can go into Rootholds Dungeon and try to get Fugitive Heads from there. Remember, for both Rootholds and Headhunts, you should use Draught of Whispers if you have them, as they increase your chances of getting Heads.

Maybe you will be the next lucky person!

In Diablo 4’s first expansion, Vessel Of Hatred, Upheaval has been properly adjusted to become one of the best core skills for Barbarian Class, making Upheaval Barbarian build the choice of many players who like powerful attacks, whether single-target or multi-target. In Upheaval Barbarian build, you can not only cleverly combine the two most important abilities in the build, giving it huge damage potential and excellent survivability, but also combine multiple skills such as Combat Bash and Furious Upheaval to give it a powerful ability to suppress enemies. It sounds attractive, doesn’t it? If you want to make the most of the best Upheaval Barbarian build in Diablo 4 DLC, you might as well read the following guide first, where you will pick out the skills and other gear that best suit your character. Skills At the level 60 cap and grinding renown added by Vessel Of Hatred DLC, you should have a total of 72 Skill Points to assign. Below are our recommendations for the best allocations, which you can change accordingly depending on your play style. Active Skills Bash: 1 Upheaval: 5 Rallying Cry: 1 Challenging Shout: 1 War Cry: 1 Call Of The Ancients: 5 Passive Skills Warpath: 3 Pressure Point: 1 Endless Fury: 2 Martial Vigour: 3 Imposing Presence: 3 Belligerence: 3 Raid Leader: 3 Booming Voice: 3 Guttural Voice: 1 Aggressive Resistance: 3 Prolific Fury: 1 Pit Fighter: 3 Slaying Strike: 3 Thick Skin: 1 Counteroffensive: 3 Heavy Handed: 3 Brute Force: 3 Wallop: 3 Key Passive: Unbridled Rage Skill Rotation Now that we know how all the skill points are allocated, let’s take a look at how you can use these active skills in real exploration. First, when you face a skirmish, you can cast three shout skills (Challenging Shout, Rallying Cry, and War Cry) to give yourself a series of offensive and defensive buffs. This is very easy to do if you have Diablo 4 Items such as Bold Chieftain’s Aspect and Rakanoth’s Wake in your build, as they can greatly reduce the cooldown of your skills. Then you can use Bash to generate fury, preferably ten times in a row, so that you will have a 120% damage increase, which will also give you an absolute suppression effect when casting the core skill, Upheaval. At this time, the key passive skill, Unbridled Rage will also start to work, consuming a lot of fury while causing more damage to the enemy. In some low- to mid-level encounters, the above skills are enough for you to clear most of the enemies you face, and you can easily pick up Diablo 4 Gold and loot they drop. But if you encounter a more difficult encounter, you can use Call of the Ancients. Although it does not cause very much damage to the enemy when it is cast, the passive buff it provides you when it is activated can make you have a very high clearing efficiency at some critical moments. Legendary Aspects Among most of the items in Upheaval Barbarian Build, the most important and useful ones are Legendary Aspects that can provide various benefits. The following are Legendary Aspects we recommend for you to use and their effects. You can also adjust them accordingly according to your game style. Edgemaster’s Aspect: The skill deals up to 5% - 25% increased damage based on available primary resources at the time of activation, with the greatest effect occurring when primary resources are full. Accelerating Aspect: Critical attacks from core skills increase your attack speed by 10%-30% for 5 seconds. Aspect of Anger Management: When your Fury exceeds 55–40 you will enter Berserk mode, but your Fury will decrease by 2 every second. Bold Chieftain’s Aspect: Whenever you cast a shout skill, for every enemy near you within 6 seconds, the cooldown of this skill will be reduced by 10%-30%. Aspect of Limitless Rage: For each Fury Point you generate while Fury is at max, the damage of the following core skills increases by 1-3%，increases up to 15 times. Mercenary A new Mercenary mechanic has been added to Diablo 4 DLC, where you can choose two of four different Mercenaries to combine to help you explore. For Upheaval Barbarian Build, you can choose Raheir and Varyana. This combination not only provides you with some extra defensive capabilities but also allows enemies to be easily attracted to them. Raheir’s skills such as Valiance and Bastion make it highly survivable and become your most solid protection. In addition, these skills can also provide you with Unstoppable in some emergency situations. But it is not just a tank attribute. Its Ground Slam skill can also provide you with some additional attack buffs to increase its practicality. For Varyana, if you combine your Bash skill with its Ancient Harpoons, it is a very good Reinforcement Mercenary. This skill will allow you to attract enemies before using the three Shout skills effectively, so that you have enough time to adjust your own state, such as using tonics to increase your health. Most importantly, Varyana can effectively shorten the cooldown of all your skills, allowing you to attack the enemy continuously. The above are some detailed information about skills, Legendary Aspects and Mercenary in the very popular Upheaval Barbarian Build in Diablo 4 Vessel Of Hatred DLC. I hope this guide can help you with your exploration. If you get stuck and need some Gold or Items during your exploration, you can participate in the regular lucky draws in iGMeet Discord, which may make your exploration easier. I wish you a happy game!

As a new class introduced in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC, Spiritborn has been given specific Aspects and Uniques, such as Rebounding Feathers Aspect And Wound Drinker Ring Unique. This article is a detailed introduction to these two items. If you have chosen Spiritborn as your class, then keep reading. Rebounding Feathers Aspect Details Several Aspects are designed to be used by one class in Diablo 4. No matter which class you use, it is worthwhile to collect Aspects that are suitable for them. But as for Spiritborn, you can obtain those necessary Diablo 4 Items from multiple sources, not just the dungeon they are tied to. To be honest, some specific Aspects can only be collected to your Codex by Salvaging an item, but Rebounding Aspect is not the same thing, which can be embraced from a new Dungeon added in D4: VoH. Rebounding Feathers Aspect Effects Primary Effect Quill Volley’s feathers explode at their culmination and return, causing [35 - 55]% of their normal damage. Item Types 1H Weapon 2H Weapon (+100% effectiveness) Gloves Amulet (+50% effectiveness) Rings Function Of Rebounding Feathers Aspect As a Spiritborn-exclusive Aspect, Rebounding Feathers are available to enhance the class’ Quill Volley skill. With this Offensive Aspect being activated, your Quill Volley casts will burst out at their furthest point and then return to you, hitting enemies twice and potentially granting Vulnerable status twice. Moreover, It can also be imbued onto 1H and 2H Weapons, Gloves, Amulets, and Rings to get extra damage. Although it can be counted as one of the most fantastic Aspects for Spiritborn following Eagle Spirit Hall and its associated builds, several Unique effects still owns the potential to transcend it. But regardless, Rebounding Feathers is indispensable to level up Quill Volley Spiritborn build. So it is wise to unlock it as soon as possible and keep it on an Amulet. As one of the most useful combat Aspects in this build, Rebounding Feathers is undoubtedly your best bet until you get Unique items like Rod of Kepeleke and high-roll Defensive and Resource Gain Aspects. How To Get Rebounding Aspect? After completing Forge of Malice dungeon in Nahantu, Rebounding Aspect will automatically unlock. This is a dungeon that nestles in the entrance to Nahantu from Gea Kul, conveniently located. Once players can obtain Rebounding Aspect in this dungeon, it will be added to your Codex, but its rolled stats remain low. To increase the damage bonus from 35% to 55%, a Legendary item will be required and salvaged. Rebounding Aspect rarely can be found in Legendary equipment in Diablo 4. When you successfully salvage a Legendary item with Rebounding Aspect, the appearance of your Codex will automatically upgrade to this new higher level. If this Aspect at its highest roll is equipped onto a 2H weapon, your Quill Volley Rebounding Feathers will undoubtedly bring unprecedented damage, so it is well worth having. Wound Drinker Unique Details If you are desperate for one of the best Poison Rings for their Spiritborn, then please pay much attention to Wound Drinker. Although it may not be so easy to get, it is a time-consuming task, but it is worth it. Luckily, similar to most of Unique items in the game, Wound Drinker can be target-farmed from endgame activities. Where To Get Wound Drinker Unique Ring? Once you have reached Level 60 and Torment 1 Difficulty, Wound Drinker will drop into any activities. But different activities have different drop rates. Here are some activities that offer higher Unique drop rates: Fighting Lair Bosses Nightmare Dungeons Caches of Items from Dark Citadel Opening Helltide Chests of Mystery Players need to pay attention to those dungeons that feature monsters, such as monsters in Demon or Ghost families, because they usually have higher drop rates. There are other channels for you to embrace this ring if you are failed after trying those methods. For example, fighting with Beast in the Ice. This can be said to be the most convenient and effective way. It is noticeable that Beast in the Ice in Tormented version is much harder than in Standard version. Therefore, it is recommended to enter Standard version to launch fight with this monster. Wound Drinker Unique Affixes And Effects + [4.2–37.5]% Poison Resistance + [2–130] Armor + [10–373] Thorns + [5–9] Damage Reduction from Poisoned Enemies + [1–3] Toxic Skin (Spiritborn only) Every time you perform Thorns Damage, you gain [1–7] Vigor Gain Toxic Skin’s Passive Effect Builds That Use Wound Drinker Wound Drinker is perfect for those builds that give much emphasis on poison damage benefit. And those builds that focus on Thorns can also benefit. Here lies the popular Spiritborn builds that can use Wound Drinker: Stinger Centipede Spiritborn Touch of Death Centipede Spiritborn Rake Thorns Spiritborn Rock Splitter Gorilla Thorns Spiritborn The above is the recommended Aspect and Uniques for Spiritborn class.
