Diablo 4 Player (Basically) Solos World Boss Ashava
It's too dangerous to face World Bosses in Diablo 4 alone, but not for wudjio. The Twitch streamer and YouTuber managed to solo Ashava in Hardcore Mode — not once but twice.
The content creator shared footage from their live stream last night, where they unintentionally encountered Ashava without any allies at their side, even though she takes up to 12 players to defeat. Their Rogue build was armed to the teeth with a crossbow that deals 457 damage per second; energy builders Heartseeker and Rapid Fire — both of which power up Critical Strike — and abilities Shadow Imbuement, Poison Imbuement, Dark Shroud, and Dash. All these elements were key to wudjio's victory against Ashava.
Players are allotted 15 minutes to beat Ashava every time she spawns. However, wudjio managed to solo her twice because of the amount of time they saved up after defeating her the first time.
According to a post on Icy Veins, wudjio didn't necessarily 100% solo Ashava in both runs, as they had a little help from a Necromancer each time — once when the boss had less than 2% left on its life gauge, and the other time to fire off 1 or 2 abilities before taking off. Meanwhile, Ashava was making circles in the dirt trying to out wudjio like she did most of the other players.
Ashava was the first World Boss to be introduced by Blizzard when the Diablo 4 beta went live two weeks ago. She spawns on a set schedule, but she won't be spawning anymore until the full game comes out.
Diablo 4 will be released on June 6, 2023.
