See your enemies driven before you with the Barbarian's ferocious skills in Diablo 4.

The Barbarian is one of the classes that you can choose in Diablo 4. They may look oafish and crude, but these warriors are also courageous and unwavering even in the most dire situations. Here's our Diablo 4 Barbarian skills overview guide to help you with various abilities that you can unlock.

The Diablo 4 Barbarian skills use fury as a resource, and they tend to be dependent on the Arsenal system. Basically, your abilities will sometimes require a particular type of weapon or weapon combination (i.e., bludgeoning, slashing, dual-wielding, or two-handed). As such, it's up to your to equip the ones that you need, or swap accordingly. Moreover, Diablo 4 Barbarian skills can be categorized into general use (grey), bleeding (red), shouts (blue), crowd control (yellow), and replenished charges (purple).

In any case, the classes in the game use tiers/groupings for each skill and talent, unlocked once you've spent enough skill points. We list them down in the sections below, further subdividing them based on connected nodes/upgrades. Likewise, you can take a look at our separate article regarding Barbarian talents/perks.

Basic skills are always available to use. They deal fairly low damage, but are your bread-and-butter abilities when generating fury.

Lunging Strike (any complete Arsenal weapon) — Lunge forward and hit a target.

Bash (bludgeoning weapon) — Bash a target with your weapon; your fourth Bash will stun the enemy (increased duration if using a two-handed weapon).

Frenzy (dual-wielded weapons) — Unleash several blows that can also increase attack speed.

Flay (slashing weapon) — Deal damage and inflict bleeding.
