In-game[]

Subo in-game
Subo is a hirable mercenary in Diablo IV, introduced in the Vessel of Hatred expansion. He is a ranger[2] equipped with a bow/crossbow,[3] and also throws jars at enemies.[4]
Subo stays outside of the melee, raining down volleys of arrows to quell monster hordes. Subo marks targets for the player—if a marked target is killed, benefits are earned such as reduced ability cooldowns.[1] He is a useful support for classes who primarily engage the enemy at close quarters.[5]
Abilities[]
Subo's skill tree is divided between his longbow (meant for precision shooting, used in conjunction with traps) and his crossbow, which is themed around heavy bolts and explosives.[3]
