Diablo Immortal has all sorts of stats that help make the player’s character as powerful as possible – and then there’s Combat Rating.
MMORPGs feature a list of stats and parameters players can upgrade by equipping specific gear or upgrades to their characters in-game. Each stat will affect each character differently depending on the character class, and players will try to augment stats that will also build their characters around their play style.
However, one stat in Diablo Immortal is non-negotiable. It is an important stat that affects the overall impact that a character can have in both PvP and PvE – Combat Rating.
This guide will show you how to improve your character’s Combat Rating in Diablo Immortal so you can easily take on more powerful opponents in-game.
What is Combat Rating?
Combat Rating is the combined values of a character’s Offense Rating and Defense Rating. Both determine how much damage the player deals to enemies or how much damage the player takes from enemies.
Combat Rating will always consider two units’ Combat Rating and determine how much damage one unit inflicts versus the other and how much damage one takes. Having a better Combat Rating versus your enemies means you will inflict more damage on them and vice versa.
Primary Attributes in Diablo Immortal will increase a character’s Combat Rating by 1 point for every point of Primary Attribute raised. So, raising your character’s Strength, Intelligence, Fortitude, Vitality, and Willpower will also raise your Combat Rating.
However, it is worth noting that certain classes will gain more bonuses from certain Primary Attributes.
For example, Barbarians, Crusaders, Demon Hunters, and Monks will gain 1 Combat Rating plus an additional 0.33 damage for every point of Strength increase. On the other hand, Wizards and Necromancers will also gain the same bonuses by increasing their Intelligence Primary Attribute.
