Spiritborn
The Spiritborn is the Vessel of Hatred martial artist from Nahantu, channeling animal Spirit Guardians through glaive-and-quarterstaff combat. After earlier dominance it settles at A-tier in Season 14, still an outstanding speedfarmer with several builds that trivialize mapping content.

Why This Tier
A-tier: after balance passes reined in its earlier ceiling it remains one of the best farmers, but its top-end Pit push now trails the S-tier trio.
