What is Crowd Control?

Skills That Disrupt Enemy Movement and Attacks

In Diablo 4, Crowd Control (CC) is a type of Status Effect that reduces enemy effectivity by disrupting their movement and attacks by either slowing them down, immobilizing them, or rendering them unable to attack.

List of All Status Effects: Buffs and Debuffs

Unstoppable Enemies Cannot Be Crowd Controlled

D4 - Unstoppable Icon
Both players and enemies can gain or activate a buff called Unstoppable. While Unstoppable is active, Crowd Control effects won't work on that specific unit. There are multiple sources of Unstoppable, such as Skills, Uniques, and Legendary Aspects, among others.

The only exception to this are Bosses, which are not innately Unstoppable but need to be staggered in order to be Crowd Controlled.

What is Unstoppable?
