Diablo 4 puts player freedom front and center, allowing you to build your character however you wish to. There are tons of builds you can pursue in this game, but your goal at the end of the day is always to maximize damage. The greater the damage you deal, the less time you have. This especially holds true when you run through the game’s dungeons or take on the Uber bosses.

While damage may seem like a simple concept, it is fairly complex, and to make the most of it, you need to understand its intricacies. As you go about learning about damage in the game, you’ll no doubt stumble upon Ultimate Damage. Ultimate Damage, as its name may indicate, is one of the highest forms of damage you can deal in the game. The game doesn’t really go into detail about what it really is, but that’s what we’re here for.

Ultimate Damage is the damage dealt by your Ultimate attacks in Diablo 4. The game reads all damage done by Ultimate skills as Ultimate Damage, but does not count any other additional damage as part of it. So if your Ultimate Skill deals an additional bleed damage, the bleed does not add to your Ultimate count. 

Knowing your Ultimate Damage is important because you frequently acquire gear and abilities that enhance your Ultimate Damage. If a piece of equipment says “+10% to Ultimate Damage,” knowledge of what this damage is helps you plan out your builds better.
