Crowd Control

From Diablo 4 Wiki

Crowd Control (CC) is the ability to control multiple enemies for a short period of time, by stunning, making them flee, slowing or halting them entirely. This allows you time to attack a heftier foe whilst debilitating surrounding minions, reposition yourself or run away! The affected targets can no longer attack you.

Every class in Diablo 4 has skills that offer some form of Crowd Control all of which will have a cooldown.

Some enemies will be partially or fully immune to controlling effects.

Effects classed as Crown Control effects:

Listed below are all the skills that come with a crowd control component divided by class.

How does crowd control work with Bosses?

Bosses are not directly affected by crowd control effects, using crowd control skills will fill a boss's stagger meter. When the meter is full, all crowd control affects are applied all at once rendering the boss immobile.
