Diablo 4 has allowed millions of players to experience the game with its open beta. Naturally, some players immediately set out to optimize the builds up to level 25 and tackle tough challenges with it. The toughest challenge of the beta was probably the world boss Ashava – yet even that boss could be defeated solo.
The new action RPG Diablo 4 has already provided many features from the full game for testing during its open beta. The release is scheduled for June 6, 2023.
Even the major MMO world bosses were already present or at least one of them – Ashava. Ideally, up to 12 players should hit the beast for 15 minutes, and even a full team is still no guarantee of victory.
The Diablo YouTuber Wudijo approached the fight a bit differently. With his hunter, created in hardcore mode, he takes down the massive boss all by himself. How he did it and which build was used, we will show you here.
Even the supposedly weak druids can defeat the boss, though not solo:
How did he do that? Ashava is a very physical and direct boss. Two things are necessary to achieve such a kill:
- Enough damage in the build
- Knowledge of the attack patterns
In total, the world boss appeared eight times during the two beta weekends and there are plenty of videos about Ashava’s behavior.
Once you internalize the attack pattern, you can predict the attacks well. Together with a mobile class like the hunter, it was relatively easy to dodge all attacks.
Furthermore, the build needs enough damage. Due to the high drop rates of legendaries, it was quite easy for dedicated players to assemble powerful builds for their hunters over the two weekends. Below we will show you the skills from Wudijo’s build.
If you want to see the fight, you can find the English video from Wudijo with the fight against Ashava here:
By the way, the performance of the well-known Diablo expert was overshadowed over the weekend. Another hunter takes down Ashava in under 4 minutes. Here you can find the video: via YouTube.
Which build did Wudijo use? For a quick overview of the build used, we will list the chosen skills at level 25:
- Heartseeker
- Rapid Fire
- Weapon Mastery
- Smoke Grenade
- Dark Veil
- Shadow Infusion
- Poison Infusion
Additionally, suitable legendaries are needed to add more damage potential to the skills.
What do players say about it? The comments on YouTube under Wudijo’s video are impressed. User “KEN” says: “That was incredible”. Also, “Relentless Nights” has only praise: “Dude, you are a machine”.
However, some can only react with dark humor. User “Tobias K.” says: “That was probably faster than a druid can kill a normal boss”. Because druids are considered weak in the beta: Thousands of players are disappointed with the druid in Diablo 4: too bulky and too weak.
