Ashava Fight Mechanics

Let’s dive into mechanics with our Diablo 4 Ashava Guide! Ashava is not a hard boss to fight. All of the attacks have a great tell and are easy to spot, if you know what you are looking for. Below we will help you understand and know what to look for in your upcoming fight with Ashava.

Phases of the fight – Ashava has 4 phases. Upon reaching each phase she will drop potions.

Stagger bar – Keep an eye out on the stagger bar, the yellow bar just below the health bar. Using crowd control abilities will fill up the stagger bar resulting in staggering Ashava, giving you extra time to attack without repercussion. Additionally Ashava will have one of her Blades shattered after which she deals reduced damage. 

Bite Attack – Ashava will perform a frontal bite attack. Stay to the side or behind Ashava.

Slam Attack – Ashava will perform a ground slam with her arm / arms. Ashava will use 1 and slam the ground or use 2 arms to slam and drag them back dealing damage along the way. The slam shows 2 glowing circles on the ground. Stay to the side of Ashava or directly in the middle behind her ( this is a rather small area, the side is safer ).

Jump attack – Ashava will perform a jump, either forward or to the side. The attack does not target players. When you find yourself in the area of impact try to dodge out of the area.

Swipe Attack – Ashava will perform a 360 degree swipe, a full swing with the left arm and half a swing after with the right arm. You can tell it is coming when Ashava moves her left arm across her body getting ready to swing. The easiest way to avoid damage is getting close to Ashava, directly below her or very close. 

Poison Attack – Ashava will perform a spitting attack leaving 3 pools of poison in a line in front of her. Use your dodge when caught in the impact area, and most importantly, do not stand in the poison.
