Diablo 4 Season 11 is shaking things up once again with a brand-new "Borrowed Power" system - Divine Gifts, a celestial blessing bestowed by the Angel Hadriel. These powers allow players to harness a fragment of the might of the High Heavens to fight back against the forces of Hell. Below, we'll break down everything you need to know about how Divine Gifts work, how to unlock them, and the complete list of powers available in Diablo 4 Season 11.

What Are Divine Gifts in Diablo 4 Season 11?

Divine Gifts are celestial blessings tied to the four Lesser Evils - Duriel, Andariel, Azmodan, and Belial - who return to torment Sanctuary in Season 11's Lesser Evil Invasion event. Each boss is associated with two Divine Gifts, meaning there are eight total to collect.

Unlike some previous seasonal systems that relied heavily on random drops or crafting, Divine Gifts are earned by defeating specific bosses. When you defeat one of the Lesser Evils for the first time, you'll receive a Corrupted Essence. Taking that essence to Hadriel unlocks the two Gifts tied to that boss.

For example:

·Defeat Belial in The Pit → unlocks Essence of Lies and Essence of Shadows.

·Defeat Duriel in Helltide → unlocks Essence of Pain and Essence of Squalor.

Once unlocked, players can slot Divine Gifts onto a new power board. The twist lies in where you place them - the Inner Slots purify the Gifts and amplify their benefits, while Outer Slots activate the Corrupted Gift, making the game harder but more rewarding.

Purified vs. Corrupted Slots

Your Divine Board begins with all four Corrupted Slots active, giving you a taste of danger and chaos right away. To unlock the safer, more powerful Purified Slots, you'll need to increase your Divine Favor ranks - Season 11's reputation system.

·Rank II: Unlock Duriel's Purified Slot

·Rank IV: Unlock Andariel's Purified Slot

·Rank VI: Unlock Azmodan's Purified Slot

·Rank VIII: Unlock Belial's Purified Slot

When a Gift is slotted into a Purified Slot, its "Corrupted" downside is removed, and its rewards are doubled - making it highly worthwhile to pursue higher reputation ranks.

How to Level Up Divine Gifts

After unlocking a Divine Gift, you can level it up by killing the associated boss or their minions throughout Sanctuary. Leveling increases the effectiveness of both the base rewards and the secondary bonuses tied to each Gift.

For example, higher ranks of the Essence of Lies may further boost the chance for bonus upgrade levels in The Pit - a perfect opportunity to combine powerful Gifts with optimized Diablo 4 Items to enhance your build's progression.
