Dark and Darker is a challenging, fantasy FPS dungeon PvPvE adventure where you can work with friends to uncover mythical treasures, defeat terrible monsters, and make sure you don’t caught by other treasure-hunters. We have to put together this Dark and Darker Barbarian Class Guide that covers all of the Barbarian Perks and Barbarian Abilities in the game!
Dark and Darker Barbarian Perks
You can equip one perk every 5 levels. The game currently has a level cap of 20, which means that you can have a total of 4 perks equipped when you’ve reached the max level. There are nine possible perks for the Barbarian class:
| Perk | Description |
|---|---|
| Axe Specialization | +10 damage from axe attacks |
| Berserker | Up to +18% bonus attack power from having lower HP |
| Carnage | +10 strength for 4 seconds after killing a target |
| Morale Boost | +10% HP after killing a target |
| Iron Will | +100 magical resistance |
| Savage | 10% physical armor boost when you forego chest armor |
| Smash | +1 to ignore blocks and parries, increases impact power of attacks, and can destroy normal doors and sturdy containers |
| Toughness | +10% HP |
| Two Handed Weapon Expert | +5% attack power while using two-handed weapons |
You will want to select the perks based on your play style, whether you’re playing mostly solo (so you’ll want to be able to do damage but also be durable) or playing with a larger group (then you can lean into one aspect harder).
Dark and Darker Barbarian Skills
The Barbarian’s skills are bound to Q and E (by default), which means you can select two skills to rely on during combat. These are the four possible skills:
| Ability | Description |
|---|---|
| Rage | STR greatly increased and movement speed increased by 15%, defense reduced by -20% for short duration. |
| Reckless Attack | Next hit ignores 70% enemy defense, self -75 armor rating. |
| Savage Roar | Frightens NPCs within a 7.5m range for 6s, reduces their damage bonuses by -20% |
| War Cry | Increase Max HP of yourself and your party by 25% for 7s |
Like with Perks, you will want to sell your Barbarian skills of choice based on whether you’re playing solo or within a party. For example, War Cry has the most benefit when playing as a group.
This wraps up our guide on Dark and Darker’s Barbarian Class and a walkthrough of this class’ perks and skills to choose from. We hope this encourages you to try out the class in the game. Check out more of our Dark and Darker coverage.
