Want to know how to get the Aspect of Anemia in Diablo 4? While other classes think about complex mechanics and creating builds, Barbarian only needs his hefty ax or sword to have fun. Since the release of Diablo 4, the Barbarian Whirlwind Build has become one of the deadliest in PvE. After all, in addition to massive damage and attack range, Whirlwind Barbarian plays via the Bleeding effect, forcing enemies to die in agony. One of the essential details of this build is the Aspect of Anemia that causes enemies to become Bleeding, and today we will tell you how to get it in Diablo 4.
Where To Find Aspect of Anemia in Diablo 4
The Aspect of Anemia is the legendary utility-type aspect of the Barbarian class. And you can imprint it on Helm, Chest Armor, Gloves, Amulet, and Shield. As we said earlier, Barbarian Whirlwind Build deals massive damage but also applies a Bleeding effect to enemies. And thanks to Aspect of Anemia, direct damage against Bleeding enemies has up to a 20-30% chance to Stun them for 2 seconds. Although 2 seconds is not much, the Barbarian will have enough time to finish off the remaining enemies and save his own HP.
It is worth noting Barbarian Whirlwind Build is not the only build that uses Aspect of Anemia. This aspect is also part of the Bleed Barbarian Build and several others. And fortunately, there are two ways to get an Aspect of Anemia in Diablo 4:
- First, you can unlock the Aspect of Anemia in your Codex of Power by completing the Kor Dragan Barracks dungeon.
- The second way is to extract the Aspect of Anemia from legendary items with the NPC Occultist.
Although the first method is a little harder in terms of preparation, it is more reliable. You must travel to the Fractured Peaks region and visit the small area of Sarkova Pass. You can use fast travel to Menestad Waypoint and head northeast. And once you get to the northern border of Sarko
va Pass, you’ll find the entrance to the Kor Dragan Barracks dungeon. Completing this challenge will automatically unlock the Aspect of Anemia in your Codex of Power and will be able to imprint it on your gear items.
