Aspect of Layered Wards is a Defensive Legendary Aspect for Spiritborn in Diablo 4. While you have a Barrier active, it increases your Block Damage Reduction—making it ideal for tank builds, barrier sustain rotations, and PvP mitigation strategies.
“Your Block Reduction is increased by [20–40%] [+] while you have a Barrier."
Note: This is a random roll Aspect. While exact stat ranges may vary, our team always prioritizes high-value rolls whenever possible to ensure optimal performance and build potential.
