Season 10 Made Me Rethink Nesekem the Herald Completely

I’ll admit, I was one of the players who completely wrote off Nesekem, the Herald. For all of Season 9 and even before that, it felt like a waste of a Mythic slot—like Blizzard gave us a shiny toy that didn’t do anything meaningful. But now, with Season 10’s Chaos Uniques? Everything’s changed.
The Chaos system is one of the best things to happen to Spiritborn. For the first time, we’re not locked into the awful choice between “Do I want Rod of Kepeleke or Wushe Nak Pa?” You can have both now—in different gear slots Diablo 4 gold.
So when I realized I could run Rod of Kepeleke as a helm and Wushe Nak Pa as gloves, suddenly Nesekem opened up as a legit option for my weapon slot. And once I built around it with a proper Chaos setup, it actually started to shine.
Here’s how I made it work: I focused on stacking damage against Vulnerable and Elite enemies, then timed burst windows with cooldowns to coincide with the mark. It’s still random, but when the mark does land on a priority target, you melt them instantly. Boss fights in particular feel way smoother than I expected d4 buy gold.
The damage output is there. The survivability is there. And best of all? It feels fun again. That’s not something I’ve been able to say about Nesekem since launch.
This isn’t to say it’s suddenly top-tier. It’s still a situational weapon that needs the right gear around it. But if you were like me and had tossed it in the stash never to be touched again, now might be the time to pull it back out. Season 10 finally gave us the build diversity Spiritborn needed—and Nesekem’s back in the conversation.
