When facing off against the hordes of hell, it’s a good idea to understand every kind of damage and effect type you can inflict, and have inflicted upon you. This knowledge can help you maximize your lethality against your enemies, and protect you from harm.
In Diablo 4, not every status effect is straightforward, some require a bit more digging to fully understand. The Unstoppable status effect is a great example of this. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know about it below.
Unstoppable Effect Explained
Unlike the core effects you can use to damage your enemies, Unstoppable functions more as a buff that can be applied to you. When using a specific skill or a particular battle condition is met as described on your gear, Unstoppable can be triggered, typically only for a few seconds at a time.
When Unstoppable is active, you cannot be impaired by Crowd Control Effects. Simply put, if an enemy were to use any debuffs that impair your ability to move or use skills, it will not affect you while Unstoppable is active. The form it takes can vary depending on how you trigger it, but the core mechanics are always the same.
How To Use Unstoppable
As you can imagine, the Unstoppable effect is incredibly important to take advantage of, especially when fighting elite enemies who tend to have the ability to inflict multiple debuffs on you at a time. Add in the extra challenge that comes with higher World Tiers, and the Unstoppable effect should really be something you prioritize incorporating into your build.
There are a few ways to influence this effect. Some classes will have skills that trigger it, like the Rogue's Shadow Step. Sometimes, you can also add it to a skill as a passive skill upgrade. If you are lucky enough, you can find gear with an Unstoppable affix or Aspect. And if you don't want to wait for the right gear to drop, you can also complete specific dungeons and claim the Legendary Aspect itself, like the Barbarian-focused Carrion Fields dungeon. Regardless of which approach you take, most of the time you will just get it for a few seconds at a time, so be sure to make the most of it when it happens.
