The Barbarian is the one character in Back to Hellfire that doesn't need to worry about defense or staying out of range from the enemies. He's all about charging head first into battle and cutting the monsters in half. He specializes in two-handed weapons like axes or mauls and uses no shield, but he has his ways of improving his defense rating and resistances.
