Johanna, the Crusader of Zakarum, is a melee Tank Hero from the Diablo universe. There have been many women who have borne the name Johanna in service of the crusade, and each has given her life to purify her faith. Johanna carries on their legacy as she searches the kingdom of Khanduras for the fallen star.

Johanna is a Tank who shines against Physical Attackers and can effectively clear groups of minions.

Background

This section concerns content exclusive to Diablo universe.

Johanna represents the Crusader class added to Diablo III in the Reaper of Souls Expansion Pack.

Crusaders are unbending champions of faith and law. These living fortresses use impenetrable plate and towering shields to wade through scores of foes, leaving demonic bodies smoldering in their wake.

The thick of battle is unforgiving, but crusaders rush in without hesitation, relying on holy magic and heavy armor to guarantee victory. Well-trained crusaders are adept at deflecting attacks entirely, often shrugging off massive blows that would fell lesser combatants. If pressed, they can sacrifice speed and mobility for pure staying power.

Bone-crunching flails and wicked shields are perfect for melee, but crusaders are hardly limited to extinguishing evil at close range. When one of these divinely empowered warriors joins battle, blazing fire and blinding light follow, smiting entire packs of enemies who dare to resist judgment.

Gameplay

Johanna is a low-mobility, extremely resilient Tank, capable of Blinding, Slowing, Stunning, and pulling enemies. She excels at creating chaos and disruption in the midst of the enemy team for extended periods of time, rather than peeling for her allies, as is typical of other Tanks. Her disruptions are all AoE and therefore more effective when used against multiple enemies.

Strengths

• Extremely resilient
• Condemn provides very good waveclear
• Iron Skin absorbs a significant amount of damage and provides with Unstoppable, preventing crowd control from affecting you

Weaknesses

• Very little burst damage
• Low mobility and no gap-closer
• Relatively weak early game
• Can be kited by most ranged Heroes
• Poor peeling when compared to other Tanks
