Diablo 4 Season 10-The Ultimate Rake Evade Spiritborn Build Guide
This guide breaks down everything you need to recreate the build from scratch and understand why each component has become meta-defining for Season 10.
Why the Rake Evade Spiritborn Build Works
The Spiritborn class thrives on fluid motion, high-impact melee abilities, make more Diablo 4 Items and overwhelming damage multipliers. The Rake Evade variant takes all of these strengths and turbo-charges them by:
Turning Core skills into Basic skills
Making Rake reset on Evade
Incorporating massive guaranteed crits & overpower hits
Feeding off multiple stacking Spirit Holds for absurd multipliers
Using movement as both a defensive and offensive mechanic
The result is a build that nukes bosses, clears packs instantly, and survives through the hardest Pit tiers thanks to insane burst windows and layered damage reduction.
Gear Breakdown-Understanding Each Slot
Helmet-Hishi E'Kassungi
This helmet is a mandatory powerhouse for the build.
Core benefits:
+Gorilla Skills
Ultimate cooldown reduction
Increased Vone damage (Venom Damage)
Attack Speed
Protector can be invoked at range
The most important unique effect:
Enemies hit by Protector take 60% increased Grow skill damage-doubled against bosses and knockdown targets.
This single multiplier alone makes Hishi one of the strongest Spiritborn helmets in the game.
Weapon 1-Sapazantic
Another must-have item for Rake Evade.
Key effect:
Your Basic skills deal +144% damage and always use their third attack-meaning your Rake hits harder and faster, triggering its strongest version every time.
Because the build converts Core skills into Basic skills, Sapazantic becomes a massive damage amplifier.
Prioritize:
High "basic skill double damage chance"
Overpower chance
DEX gems
Gloves-Unyielding Aspect
These gloves massively increase weapon damage:
Effect:
Casting a Gorilla skill increases your weapon damage by up to 1500%, scaling from your armor.
This is one of your biggest multipliers.
Tempering:
Overpower damage
Thunder Spike size
Core/Rake skill bonuses
Pants-Harbony Ibaka
What used to be a helmet is now an incredibly strong pair of pants.
Key effect:
For each Spirit Hold used, gain +48% increased damage.
With three Spirit Holds active, you gain ~150% damage passively.
Roll for:
Max damage reduction
Gem slots with DEX gems
A perfect defensive/offensive hybrid slot.
Chest Armor-Laloi Capi
The heart of the build and the single most important unique in the entire setup.
This chest converts your Core skills into Basic skills and removes resource costs entirely.
Key Effect:
Core skills become Basic skills
Core skills consume all Vigor to cast larger, stronger versions
Guaranteed crits with up to +90% crit damage per Vigor spent
This is why the build stacks:
Resource cost reduction
Vigor generation
Overpower multipliers
Without this chest, the whole build falls apart.
Two-Handed Polearm
The weapon slot amplifies Bone damage inherently and holds the Rake aspect:
Rake Manifest:
Summons a spirit jaguar that automatically casts Rake at random enemies for 238% increased damage.
Tempering priorities:
Extra Rake hits
Overpower
Resource cost reduction
Runes:
Sam Ze (Ultimate cooldown reduction or swapped based on CDR needs)
Amulet-Basic Skill Overload
Because Rake becomes a Basic skill, this amulet is S-tier.
Effects:
+Resource generation per Basic skill
+90% Basic skill damage per point of primary resource
Up to 500 resources counted for damage scaling
Stacks perfectly with Laloi Capi and your cost-reduction gear.
Rings
Ring of Redirected Force
Benefits:
Crit damage equal to 70% of your block chance
Blocking doubles this bonus
This gets boosted even further with:
Protector cooldown reduction
Overpower damage
Dex and Max Life
Star of the Skies
Another best-in-slot ring.
Effect:
+50% damage multiplier
+All Core skills
Crit chance
This ring scales unbelievably well with Capi and your Vigor bursts.
