Crowd Control in Diablo 4 is a debuff that prevents enemies or characters from moving, attacking, casting spells, etc. . There are 11 status effects that count as Crowd Control in Diablo 4, including Slow, Immobilize, Stun, Knockback, Knockdown, Taunt, Fear, Tether, Daze, Chill, and Freeze. Each status has different effects, but they all count as Crowd Control. When an enemy is affected by Crowd Control, any Damage vs. Crowd Controlled damage bonuses will apply for as long as that enemy is affected.

Crowd Control is an important feature of combat in Diablo 4, and each of the five classes 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. Bosses are not directly affected by Crowd Control effects, but using Crowd Control skills will fill a bosss stagger meter. When the meter is full, all Crowd Control effects are applied all at once, rendering the boss immobile.

To counter the effects of Crowd Control, players can use abilities that grant Unstoppable or Immune, and prepare beforehand with resistances and modifiers for self-defense. The Unstoppable effect will immediately break all forms of Crowd Control on its caster (or target), while Immune makes players completely immune to all effects.
