Lore & Battlefield Role

Hailing from the frozen, unforgiving wastes of the North, Barbarians are warriors forged by hardship. They do not fight with finesse or tactical grace; they are living engines of destruction. Their connection to the primal forces of rage allows them to shrug off wounds that would kill a lesser mortal, each blow only fueling their thirst for battle. In the shattered world of Atheria, they are the bulwark against the demonic tide, a roaring testament to mortal resilience.

On the battlefield, the Barbarian's role is unambiguous: to be the eye of the storm. They thrive in the heart of the enemy horde, using their powerful area-of-effect abilities to control and decimate entire groups of foes. Their immense durability makes them the natural choice for a team's tank, absorbing damage and protecting more fragile allies. A Barbarian initiates the fight, dictates its pace, and is often the last one standing.
