Diablo 4 Season 9 Lunging Strike Barbarian Build: What Unique Items Does It Need?
Posted: Jul 21, 2025 Views: 108
Diablo 4 Season 9’s Barbarian is perhaps the biggest unlucky guy this season. He has been greatly weakened and is far less powerful than before in terms of damage. But this is nothing for players who love Barbarian, because they will always explore the potential of Barbarian.
Lunging Strike Barbarian is the best Barbarian build so far. It performs well in farming gold, monsters, bosses and The Pit, and the key is that it is fun enough.
Pros And Cons
Lunging Strike Barbarian is a build that relies on Season 9 Barbarian unique equipment, Hooves of the Mountain God, because this unique item can mostly increase the damage of basic attacks. Therefore, its biggest disadvantage is that it relies on Diablo 4 items to run.
And when this build can run smoothly, you can feel that this build is not only tank enough but also has a fast attack speed and high damage, which can take you to smoothly destroy all enemies from Torment 1 to Torment 4.
Lunging Strike Barbarian Skills
- Lunging Strike Rank 5: Enhanced Lunging Strike and Battle Lunging Strike
- Ground Stomp Rank 1: Enhanced Ground Stomp and Strategic Ground Stomp
- Wrath of The Berseker Rank 5: Prime Wrath of The Berseker and Supreme Wrath of The Berseker
- War Car Rank 1: Enhanced War Car and Power War Car
- Challenge Shout Rank 1: Enhanced Challenge Shout
- Rallying Cry Rank 1: Enhanced and Strategic Ground Stomp
- Technique: 2-Hand Axe
Lunging Strike is the core of this build as a basic skill and the main damage output skill of this build.
The order of skill release is:
- 1. Wrath of The Berseker
- 2. War Car, Challenge Shout and Rallying Cry
- 3. Lunging Strike (continuous use)
- 4. Ground Stomp (resets Wrath of The Berseker)
In short, you need to use some skills to increase damage and defense before using Lunging Strike, Lunging Strike can trigger the damage increase provided by Hooves of the Mountain God, and finally use Ground Stomp to reset other skills when your rage is insufficient. When releasing this set of skills, you need to be careful not to let your fury reach zero.

The Diablo 4 Runes equipped on the weapon can be adjusted as needed. Recommended rune combinations are:
- Moni and Xan
- Ahu and Xan

- Ahu and Thul
Glyph Leveling Priorities
At different levels, it is recommended that you use the following glyphs as farming targets. After you reach the maximum level, you should farm The Pit as soon as possible to upgrade the glyphs.
Level 15
- Ambidextrous
- Wrath
- Challenger
- Revenge
- Marshal
Level 46
- Revenge
- Wrath
- Marshal
- Ambidextrous
- Challenger
Horadric Spells (Wrath Of The Berserker)
Catalyst: Disintegrate
Infusion: Nebulous Extract
Arcana:
- Reactive Ooze: Improves resource acquisition
- Bloody Charm: Executes enemies
- Fractured Core: Disables enemy resistance auras
Disintegrate can help Barbarian gather monsters and improve your farming efficiency. The choice of Infusion is not that important. Nebulous Extract can make the damage of the enemy you hit become 90% of the original, which is equivalent to providing you with 10% damage reduction. Arcana are some classic choices, and their main function is to let you farm faster.
The above is some basic information about Lunging Strike Barbarian build. It can successfully reach level 100 The Pit and its damage is the highest among all barbarian builds, and this build is also very tank, so you can also play it in hardcore mode.
