==Knock Back==

'''Knock Back''' is one of Diablo 4's simplest [[Crowd Control]] effects, but it has plenty of uses in both solo and group play. When triggered, it pushes an enemy away from the player, interrupting what they were doing and forcing them out of their current position. It doesn't fully disable them, but it does give you a moment to breathe, or to line up your next attack.

==What Knock Back Does==

When an enemy is affected by Knock Back:

* They are instantly pushed backwards from the player.
* Their current action is visibly '''interrupted'''.
* They can still act normally once the push finishes.
* It does not Immobilise or [[Stun]] them by itself.
* If an enemy is pushed into terrain, some skills can deal bonus damage or cause a brief [[Stun]].
* They do not fall over or lie on the ground that's [[Knock Down]], a different crowd control effect.

This makes Knock Back a '''positional CC tool''' rather than a total disable.

==Why Use Knock Back?==

Knock Back is handy in a few situations:

* '''Creating space''' from melee enemies.
* '''Interrupting''' dangerous attacks or channelling skills.
* '''Breaking up elite packs''' to avoid being surrounded.
* '''Triggering damage bonuses''' from skills, passives, or Aspects that care about Knock Back.

Do keep in mind that while Knock Back is excellent for survival, it can sometimes be a mixed blessing for melee or AoE-heavy builds. Pushing enemies out of your own damage zones (or out of your friends' AoEs) can slow down clear-speed if you're not careful.

==Skills and Classes That Use Knock Back==

Several classes can apply Knock Back as part of their toolkit:

* '''Barbarian:''' [[Kick]] – the classic “boot them across the room” ability.
* '''Druid:''' [[Cyclone Armor]] and [[Trample]] good for creating distance and control.
* '''Necromancer:''' [[Blood Wave]] – hits hard and sends enemies flying.
* '''Rogue:''' [[Fundamental Forceful Arrow]] – adds pushback to a basic skill. ==Summary==

It doesn't stop them from acting, but it does give you enough time to reposition, interrupt, or trigger bonuses from your build.
