The Collections Menu Displaying The Codex Of Power

Aspects are a means that you will be able to tweak all sorts of features that your character will make use of. This can involve their stats, skills, and the very nature of how they play entirely. Your Codex of Power lets you archive some of the specific aspects so that they can be applied later to the different pieces of gear that you would prefer they be on. If the item you place the Aspect on is a rare item, it will be upgraded into a legendary one. You will hunt these down throughout the game by delving into different dungeons scattered throughout the various regions of the game.

Are Unique Class Aspects Better Than Aspects For All Classes?

Diablo 4 - Barbarian Using Whirlwind

No, in fact, far from it. In order to make the best builds in the game, you will need to mix unique Codex of Power aspects from your chosen class with Codex of Power Aspects that can be used by any of the game's classes. The Rapid Aspect and Edgemaster's Aspect are frequently used for builds for each class in the game. It is highly recommended you hunt down and add every single Codex of Power Aspect because you never know when a patch could heavily buff one or when a future piece of gear will synergize outrageously well with one. Do not rely solely on Codex of Power Aspects; there are Aspects that you will find on unique pieces of gear that can be a cornerstone to making a build work.
