With 8 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/dark-and-darker\/are-the-classes-free-to-play\">classes<\/a> in the game, there&#8217;s plenty of information to take in. Don&#8217;t fret, though. This guide will give you the lowdown on the <strong>best Barbarian builds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1h95g7kkt5\">Barbarian Class Overview<\/h2>\n<p>The Barbarian is a real heavy hitter. It&#8217;s a class with an immense constitution that deals out high-damage melee attacks, often capable of killing opponents in just two to three hits. Despite the Barbarian&#8217;s strengths, it has lower movement speed and a magic defence that pales in comparison to that of other classes. This hulking warrior is an apt choice for players who enjoy a steady and formidable playstyle.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/YC0cxzJnrP316ocLgeqVpmCmKMYaFysmvMV8nXPGxGk\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMy82NWY0MWQ1Y2YxYTlhLWRhcmstYW5kLWRhcmtlci1iYXJiYXJpYW4uanBlZw\" alt=\"Dark and Darker Barbarian\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">The Barbarian is known for his hardy nature, fiery temper and ability to endure immense pain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1h95g7kkt6\">All Barbarian Perks<\/h2>\n<p>Perks are passive buffs to your character stats.

There are a few variations of axes to choose from but the Felling Axe is one of the best. It offers power without sacrificing excess amounts of action or movement speed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended perks: <\/strong>Axe Specialization, Two-Hander, and Executioner increase the efficacy of your (two-handed) axe attacks, making you a deadlier combatant. When you get a player kill, Morale Boost will reward you with a chunk of health to fuel you through into your next battle encounter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended skills: <\/strong>Achilles Strike is helpful for Barbarians who are outpaced by more zippy classes like Rogues. It can be used to incapacitate a player trying to give you the slip or to close the distance with ranged attackers. Savage Roar, along with significantly reducing enemies&#8217; physical damage, causes PvE enemies to withdraw from you in fear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1h95h59fp5h\">Brutish Barbarian Build<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Recommended loadout:&nbsp;<\/strong>The Felling Axe remains a great choice for the Barbarian.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended perks: <\/strong>Choose Savage, Berserker, Robust, and Morale Boost to build a beast that can take almost as much damage as they deal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended skills:&nbsp;<\/strong>Reckless Attack is your path to one-shot kills. It&#8217;ll momentarily leave you more vulnerable but your armor rating returns once your attack is complete.
