Overpower is a Situational Barbarian skill unlocked at level 18, which hits all enemies around the Barbarian with a powerful force. Only usable if Barbarian has critically hit an enemy.




Background

The Barbarian takes advantage of the situation, overwhelming enemies around him with a powerful strike.


Skill Effects

The following is a very quick list. See the Overpower rune effects page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

Skill Design

Overpower is a powerful area of effect ability that needs a moderate critical hit chance to be effective. The available rune effects make this skill very interesting. Dual-wielding two very fast weapons and having a godly amount of critical strike chance might make you unstoppable with the Revel rune effect, healing you every time Overpower is used.

Development
