Diablo 4 has a Training Dummy, giving players the ability to test out their chosen class' build before pitting it against the game's many hordes.

Training Dummy location in Diablo 4

The location of the Training Grounds on the Diablo 4 map

As shown on the map above, the Training Dummy can be found in Kyovashad, northeast of the Waypoint. If you look at your map, you will see a new dungeon icon in Kyovashad listed as The Training Grounds.

To get there, go to where the World Tier statue is, then find the glowing door to the northeast of it.

Inside you will find a pretty typical mini-dungeon type of room, like many of the cellars and basements you encounter in the game, but with one caveat: It has a Training Dummy in the middle of the room, and a chest and a statue over on the left side.

How to use the Training Dummy

Attacking the Training Dummy in Diablo 4

Using the Training Dummy itself is pretty straightforward, as all you need to do is hit it and you see how much damage you do. This is a great way to record the exact damage numbers of your attacks and test different abilities like the Vampiric Powers without dealing with the chaos of fighting real enemies.

Additionally, the chest in the room gives you access to your Stash, allowing you to quickly change out your gear without having to leave the training room. The statue beside it is also important, as it allows you to customise the Training Dummy, which gives you the option to choose to have it act as anything from a regular enemy up to a boss - you can even increase the number of dummies for you to practice on.
