Diablo 4 Season 9 Best Poison Thorns Spiritborn: How To Build It?
With Season 9 PTR coming to an end on June 3, the ranking of the best builds for the new season has gradually surfaced.
As a new class introduced in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC, Spiritborn has attracted great attention from players since its release. Although the developers have made a lot of nerfs to it in order to maintain balance in subsequent season updates, its popularity remains unabated. Not to mention, the addition of new unique powers in season 9 may make its build stand out again.
Although the build ranking situation may change after the release of Diablo 4 Season 9, Spiritborn still ranks first in the early popular build rankings with a large number of skills and unique advantages.
Among them, Quill Volley has been the best Spiritborn build in the past seasons with its super DPS potential, but with the emergence of Horadric Spells seasonal power and the addition of a series of new unique items, this situation has also changed.
In Season 9 PTR, Poison Thorns Spiritborn stands out from the crowd in a series of builds, showing very strong single-target damage output. Perhaps this will replace Quill Volley and become the best Spiritborn build of the next generation. It is worth noting that this build is not for every player, but if you are a Spiritborn enthusiast and have a lot of Diablo 4 gold, then why not give it a try?

Why Can This Build Achieve A Relatively Strong Combat Effect?
Poison Thorns Spiritborn is the core mechanism of this build, mainly using Vortex to pull enemies close and using skills such as Scourge and Toxic Skin to poison enemies when they attack the player.
At the same time, equipment with high Thorns damage will cause additional damage to enemies that attack the player, which creates a gameplay that allows players to approach enemies and passively attack.
Since this gameplay will put Spiritborn players at risk of being attacked when enemies get close, players need to prepare enough Diablo 4 gold to upgrade skills such as Armored Hide to avoid this risk and get a more stable and powerful performance in the endgame.
Unique Balazan’s Maxtlatl
Diablo 4 Season 9 gives the Spiritborn a fantastic new unique gaming experience. This is because in the ninth season, there is a brand new exclusive item for Spiritborn, Balazan’s Maxtlatl pants, which seems to be tailor-made for Poison Thorns build.
This new unique allows players to deal 200-300% Thorns and 100% Poison damage to close enemies with each attack, and after dealing retaliatory Thorns damage, Poison damage will increase to 300% within 5 seconds.
Of course, these pants can also be used in conjunction with other common equipment in Poison Thorns Spiritborn builds, such as Razorplate chest piece and Wound Drinker ring to achieve a more powerful and comprehensive combat effect, greatly improving the output of Thorns and Poisoning.
Horadric Spells
In addition to the new unique that can increase the damage of Poison and Thorns mentioned above, Diablo 4 Season 9 also adds a new seasonal power Horadric Spells to enhance Spiritborn build. Players can customize unique seasonal powers through Catalyst, Infusion, and Arcana, creating more possibilities for fully utilizing the maximum power of the build.
For this build, players need to combine Disintegrate Catalyst to attack nearby enemies and convert damage into Poison damage through Corrosive Vapor Infusion. Finally, Jagged Bramble Arcana completes this combo by adding a lucky hit in the round, causing the player 250% of Thorns damage.
All in all, Spiritborn still has strong competitiveness and rich equipment and skill combinations in Diablo 4 Season 9.
So, if you want to have a strong and perfect endgame build in the new season, then in-depth understanding of different skill combinations and investing more Diablo 4 gold to build this Spiritborn Poison Thorns build can complete your season goals faster. In any case, cultivate your own build according to your play style and get wonderful endgame performance and perfect and rich gaming experience in Diablo 4 Season 9!
