Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant: All Seven Legendary Aspects

As mentioned earlier, there are two universal Legendary Aspects that every class of fighters can use. Five Aspects are unique to each of the five classes in the game.

Universal Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant:

Since you can use them with any class, a big chunk of the player base will favor these two Aspects. They are as follows:

• Aspect of Audacity (Utility): This is one of the two universal Legendary Aspects in the game. You can use this on your gear, irrespective of your warrior class. This Aspect allows you to stun your enemies for anywhere between two to four seconds and only works when they are in a group of five or more. You get this ability for twenty seconds, and it can help deal with large hordes of enemies. You can have access to the Aspect of Audacity after completing Chapter 5.
• Craven Aspect (Mobility): This is the second universal Legendary Aspect in Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant. You can apply this Aspect to your boots, increasing your fighter by 20-40% mobility when evading “Slowed or Chilled enemies.” You can have access to the Craven Aspect after completing Chapter 6.
