Whether you’re tackling challenging overworld content or facing a Nightmare Dungeon in Diablo 4, you’re likely to come across the dreaded Suppressor Affix. This infuriating purple shield is a common feature in higher-tier content. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll provide you with all the information you need to understand exactly what this Affix does.
What is the Suppressor Affix in Diablo 4?
The Suppressor Affix grants Elite enemies a massive purple shield that forms a dome-like barrier around them. This purple bubble effectively blocks all ranged attacks. If you want to deal any damage, you’ll need to engage the Elite at close range in Diablo 4. As a player who uses the Twisting Blades Rogue, I can tell you that these enemies can be a nightmare. However, there are some crucial mechanics to keep in mind.
Unlike some other Affixes in Diablo 4, the Suppressor Affix does not have a timer. This means that if an Elite enemy has the big purple bubble around them, there’s no waiting for it to disappear. Your only option is to engage in close-quarters combat. The good news is that you can freely pass through the barrier; it’s only ranged attacks that are prohibited.
When facing these enemies, your best strategy is to unleash as much burst damage as possible. I recommend waiting until all your cooldowns are ready for use and then diving into the shield. You want to enter and exit the Suppressor Affix quickly before the surrounding enemies overpower you.
Alternatively, you can consult your Nightmare Sigil Affixes and choose to avoid dungeons with the Suppressor Affix. The approach you take will depend on your build’s strengths and weaknesses.
