Recommended Feet: Lightfoot Boots; Heavy Boots; Rugged Boots; Adventurer Boots

Lightfoot Boots are the only one with scaling movement speed. Clearly the best choice. But Barbarian starts with good Boots.

Play Style

Solo:

You are at a disadvantage entering solo, so make the best out of it and use Guerilla Tactics!!!

You can hear enemy Teams almost every time beforehand and let´s you evade them. Avoid noise yourself.

Move at the outer circle of the map to avoid players.

Choose your fights. Wait for enemy players to start PVE or be distracted by looting.

Hit hard and retreat.

Jumping lets you hit enemies with shields.

The Felling axe has enormous Attack Speed when hitting. But Recovery time is huge when missing a swing. So be careful against faster enemies like rogue and Wizard. Switching to an Bardiche or Zweihander is recommended against them.

Use your Throwing Axes against fleeing enemies. It is massive damage and slows a hefty amount. It let´s you also run faster.

Use your Throwing Axes!!!

Fleeing enemies can also be chased with fists, because of your high strength your fist do a respectable amount of damage. Against fast enemies you can´t hit them in the back because of the movement speed penalty of the weapon and the extra slow when swinging and the short range of the felling axe.

Going through the swarm is not as punishing as you might think.

Blue Potting Before and during every fight!!! Don´t be afraid to hit Fighters in heavy armor. They fall like everyone else.

Team:

Communication is king. Communicate with your team when you hear enemy players, enter a new room, place a campfire.

Buff before engaging especially with haste and invisibility from wizard. Surprise and terror is a really valuable weapon. A lot of players will panic and not even try to retaliate.

Be careful of Rogues hitting you in the back when engaging through doors.

When its a stallmate play smart don´t rush in headlessly when the enemies are skillfull. Stay close together. Use your throwing axes and Throwables to help range fights.
