Hero Realms class progression reference
Barbarian Skills, Abilities & Treasures
A searchable guide to the Barbarian’s Berserk-driven war cries, escalating rage skill, HP track, and treasure choices through character level 24.
Last reviewed: September 30, 2026
How progression works
Character level and card level are different. Treasures arrive at fixed character levels, while even character levels award a point that you decide how to spend.
Gain one character point at every even character level from 4 through 24. Spend it on an ability, the Barbarian skill, or an HP upgrade.
Choose one of two treasures at every odd character level from 5 through 23.
The skill ends at tier 3. HP may be upgraded four times. A second ability follows the same Barbarian ability tree.
A completed level-24 build can have two max-level abilities, a max-level skill, and four HP upgrades.
Barbarian ability tree
Begin by punishing the opponent’s hand while Berserk, then develop toward flexible disruption or added Combat. Use this same tree when developing the Barbarian’s second ability.
