	Knock Down is a hard crowd control effect that puts enemies flat on the ground and completely unable to act. It doesn’t move them like [[Knock Back]] does, but it does provide a longer and more reliable window to inflict damage and/or escape.

'''Knock Down''' is one of the strongest [[Crowd Control]] effects in Diablo 4. When applied, it forces an enemy to the ground and leaves them completely unable to act until the animation finishes, unless they have resisted it. Unlike [[Knock Back]], it does not move enemies away from the player, it simply disables them outright for a short window.

==What Knock Down Does and Does Not Do==

When an enemy is Knocked Down:

* They are forced to the ground at your feet and left unable to act.
* They are unable to move, attack, or perform any actions until the effect ends.
* They must complete a recovery animation before standing up, which is basically just standing up again, but it's a useful second.
* They are left exposed and vulnerable during this time.
* It can be cleansed by effects that grant '''Unstoppable''' or '''Immune'''.
* Bosses can not be knocked down but Knock Down will help to fill up their Stagger bar.

Knock Down is a true disable effect and functions similarly to [[Stun]] <small>([[Crowd Control|CC]])</small>.

==Why Use Knock Down?==

Knock Down excels at:

* Stopping enemies before they can attack, especially if they telegraph such as with charging or channelling abilities.
* Giving the player a safe window to reposition or set up burst damage.
* Allowing coordinated follow-ups from party members during the disable window.

It's one of the most reliable ways to interrupt Elite abilities, especially attacks that cannot be interrupted by weaker forms of CC.

== Skills and Classes That Apply Knock Down ==

Several classes have access to Knock Down through skills or enhancements:

* '''Barbarian:''' - [[Furious Hammer of the Ancients]]
* '''Druid:''' - [[Wild Maul]]
* '''Rogue:''' - [[Enhanced Poison Trap]]
* '''Druid Passive:''' -[[ Thick Hide]]

== Summary ==

Knock Down is a '''hard crowd control effect''' that leaves enemies flat on the ground and completely unable to act. It doesn’t move them like Knock Back does, but it provides a longer and more reliable disable that creates clear opportunities for survival or burst damage. For players who enjoy strong control tools or want to interrupt dangerous foes, Knock Down is a staple mechanic worth building around.
