Ashen Samurai

Recommended Build

This build will focus on consistent damage output while at the same time healing constantly in your your solo run. Save cooldowns for specific undodgeable moves and you will clear the fight easily.

Weapons

Slot 1: Scythe/Greatsword/Shoes
Slot 1: Anchor

You can use any Weapon you are comfortable with in Slot 1 as long as Slot 2 has Anchor, due to it’s Z skill, which gives the player temporary 100 bonus HP.

Pets

Slot 1: Goat
Slot2: Shark

This pet combo is made to boost the player’s HP as well as trivialize AOEs so you won’t have to dodge them, tanking those attacks instead.

Perk

Slot1:Vampire

As long as you continuously do damage with your Slot 1 Weapon, your HP will never go into the danger zone. In the off-chance it does, you can simply switch to Slot 2 Weapon(Anchor), and use your Z skill to get back up.

Cosmetics

Slot1: Scarf/Clown Nose/ Dragon Boots/ Comedy Mask

Any cosmetics that gives the player bonus HP can be used—it doesn’t have to be specifically the Mythic Cosmetic.

Guide

Before the fight even starts, make sure to wait for all of your ability and perk cool-downs to recharge. Once everything is ready, you can start the fight.

Single Bow Shot

The Samurai will shoot a single arrow towards the first player he sees. If you are far away from the Samurai, the shot can be dodged left or right, but you will be losing out on damage output.

The best way to dodge is to be up close to the Samurai, move towards him, and end up behind him. You can use your dodge or gap-closing skill(usually the Z skill) to move faster while still dealing damage.

Hail Storm

The Samurai will shoot constant arrows from the sky that will cause large, high-damaging AOEs on the ground. The shots are difficult to predict and dodge.

With our build, you can pop Vampire and cooldowns in order to tank and outheal the damage the Samurai is dealing. Save your cooldowns for this attack.

Triple Bow Shot

The Samurai will shoot 3 bow shots consecutively, dealing high damage. Unlike a single shot, you can not easily dodge this one on the left or right side.

The solution for this one is the same as the single shot. Just dodge/gap-close towards the Samurai to guarantee to dodge all 3 shots.

Ground Shot

The Samurai will do a large AOE attack above himself or one player, while at the same time possibly summoning zombie minions. It might seems scary, but it’s the worst move in the raid.

You have more than enough time to move away from the AOE and dodge the zombies. Their spawn is not close enough to hinder the player, and Ground Shot is too slow to be scary. You don’t even need to use skills to move away and waste cooldowns.

The Ashen Samurai will keep doing these moves until you inevitably deafeat him and reap your rewards, aka Raid tokens, that you can exchange for the Bow Weapons, Samurai Mask, and other cool valuablea.

The Raid will on average take you 10 minutes solo, with the optimal DPS. This gives more than enough room for players with worse weapons and items to still complete the fight.
