The hallmark of any ARPG, but especially the Diablo franchise, is creating multiple characters. However, no one wants to do the same grind for basic Aspects all over again for every character in Diablo 4. So you might be wondering, do Aspects carry over in Diablo 4? Let’s find out!
Any Aspect added to your Codex of Power will be available to use on all of your characters. Regardless of which character or class you use to complete a dungeon. Every character you own will have access to the Aspects.
If you wanna learn more about Aspects in Diablo 4, and how it influences the other characters that you’ll eventually play then keep reading!
Can Alt Characters Use Aspects in Diablo 4?
Aspects are Legendary powers that you manually add to non-Legendary gear. Each Aspect modifies existing abilities or provides a powerful buff. These effects unlock for your character when you reach level 25 and obtain the Codex of Power, which is earned by completing dungeons.
The best thing, however, is that by adding Aspects to your Codex of Power they become available for all of your characters to use.
It doesn’t matter then which class obtains the Aspect, since you can always share that particular Aspect with another character.
You can also extract power from Legendary items that are dropped by bosses or chests. You can do this extraction at the Occultist, which can be found at any of the major towns in the game.
Extracting will destroy that particular piece of gear though, so make sure that piece isn’t one that you will need later.
There are several Aspects in Diablo 4 that can jump-start a new character. We won’t spoil that process of discovery for you here. But you can add these Legendary powers to items found while playing another class to gain a massive headstart. Just the way we like it.
How to Imprint Aspects Into Your Gear?
You must visit the Occultist in any major city in Diablo 4. Click on the Occultist and gain access to the Occultist’s Menu. This will initiate the process of Imprinting an Aspect.

- Pick an Aspect from either your Codex of Power or inventory.
