Hero

This base armor offers the perfect balance of function, form and ferocity.

The Iron Will Armor is the Powerful default look for the Barbarian. The "costume" is available to use as soon as you've unlocked the hero.

What this contains

The Iron Will Armor contains 16 accessories - four changeable pieces for each section (that being Head, Torso, Arms and Legs). The first accessory of each sections are default pieces while the rest will have to be acquired from defender packs. The garb also provides the default Barbarian card art for your hero deck.

The Iron Will Armor does not affect any actual weapon cosmetic as equipping any axes or swords will always override the Barbarian's default weapon look. The Barbarian's default axes does not drop as items which makes it virtually impossible to fully achieve the default look while progressing through the game.

(Both the garb and weapon are two separate things but together they make the default look.)

Notes & Trivia

• Using The Iron Will Armor's second accessory configuration (Clawdrons, Iron Skin, Beast Skin Gloves and Ramleather Boots) allows the Barbarian to look more like his DD1 counterpart.

• The Barbarian was originally planned to arrive in DD2 during the early days with a different aesthetic. As years passed, his design was eventually given a makeover into the Iron Will Armor in order to be on par with the updated artstyle DD2 has before finally introducing the hero into the game.

• A custom map was specifically created to promote the Barbarian hero and the Blood Reaver costume. This very cool and awesome trailer featuring all that can be seen here.
