Diablo 4 Season 7 Witch Powers - Complete Guide to Abilities and Mechanics

Witch Powers Seasonal Mechanic Guide - Season 7 Diablo 4

Witch Powers in Diablo 4

Players can equip 6 Witch Powers at a time: 5 Normal Powers and 1 Unique Power. Switching between the Witch Powers you already have can be done through the Witchcraft pane. There are four schools and two qualities of Witch Powers, with a total of 25 Powers.

These include 7 Eldritch Powers, 7 Psyche Powers, 7 Growth & Decay Powers, and 4 Lost Powers. Most Witch Powers have a secondary effect that requires a specific rank, which enhances player power in various ways. Some Witch Powers cause periodic damage, such as Firebat Servants, while others increase player traits or stats, like Soul Harvest.

Witch Powers provide defensive, offensive, and/or utility benefits, generally determined by the Power's school. There are also different types of conditions, with some activated by a timer and others triggered by using certain abilities.

Acquiring and Upgrading Witch Powers - Diablo 4

Witch Powers are learned at one of the four Altars: Eldritch Powers at the Altar of the Eldritch, Psyche Powers at the Altar of the Psyche, Growth & Decay Powers at the Altar of Growth, and Lost Powers at Forgotten Altars. While Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay Altars are located at the Tree of Whispers, Forgotten Altars must be found in random dungeons. Advancing your Seasonal Reputation with The Coven unlocks new Witch Powers, as well as gear and crafting materials.

Upgrading Witch Powers can be done through the Inventory pane at the cost of Restless Rot, which players can gather by participating in Headhunts, the Season 7 activity that spawns periodically in zones across Sanctuary.

All Witch Powers - Diablo 4

All four schools of Witch Powers feature a single Unique Power, with the remaining ones classified as Normal Powers. Most Witch Powers have an additional effect that requires a specific rank to activate, ranging from Rank 5 to Rank 15.

Below is a list of all 25 Witch Powers, organized by type: Eldritch, Growth & Decay, Psyche, and Lost. While there is still a possibility that some of these Powers could be removed before the launch of Season 7 or that new Powers might be added, these are the Witch Powers currently expected in the Season of Witchcraft.
