Skill Tree: Ash Williams Army Of Darkness Abilities And Tr Hibegy

Master Ash Williams (Army of Darkness) in Evil Dead: The Game! Discover his full skill tree, including melee buffs, amulet improvements, and more to dominate the Deadites.

Alright, let's talk about building out our boy Ash Williams from the Army of Darkness movie. This guy is all about getting up close and personal with the Deadites, so we're going to focus on making his melee attacks absolutely brutal. While you *could* spec into his ranged stuff, honestly, why would you when you've got that chainsaw ready to go? Let's dive into his skill tree and make him a true force of nature.

Path 1 focuses on making your last hit in a combo pack a serious punch, buffing your amulet's defenses and shield, and reducing the fear you take. Basically, it's about making Ash tougher and his finishers more deadly.

Skill	Effect	Modifiers
The Last Word	The last hit of combo causes increased damage	15%>35%>50%
Reinforced amulet	Damage Reduction	3%>5%.10%.12%
Improved Amulet	Shield bar length increase	3%>5%.10%.12%
Fear No Evil	Reduction of Fear received	5%>10%>20%

Path 1a keeps the melee train rolling. You'll get damage reduction, a boost to your melee damage when you're above a certain health threshold, and you'll stun enemies more easily with heavy attacks. Plus, you can specialize in either one-handed or two-handed weapons to really maximize your damage output.

Second Wind	Increases melee when health above certain threshold	5%>10%>20%

Path 1b is a bit more focused, giving you another way to boost your melee damage when your health is high.

Path 2 offers some utility and survivability. You can reduce the stamina cost of dodging, increase your maximum health, speed up your active skill cooldowns, and take less damage from basic possessed enemies.

Skill	Effect	Modifiers
Artful Dodger	Reduces Stamina Cost of dodging	15%>20%>25%
Industrial strength	Increases max health	10%>15%>20%>25%
Quicker Cooldown	Reduces cooldown time of active skill	5%>10%
Seasoned Survivor: Basic	Reduces damage taken from possessed basic units	5%>8%>13%

Path 3 is where we really amp up the raw damage. You'll get boosts to general melee damage, dismemberment damage with both regular and sharp weapons, and increased damage from your light melee attacks. There's also a skill to reduce damage from boss units, which is super handy.

Skill	Effect	Modifiers
Devastating Force	Increases melee weapon damage	2%>5%>9%>15%
Cutting Blows	Increases dismemberment damage of melee weapons	10%>15%>30%
Razor’s Edge	Increases dismemberment damage of sharp weapons	15%>30%
Sting Like a Bee	Increased damage with light melee attacks	5%>10%>15%
Seasoned Survivor:Boss	Reduces damage taken from possessed boss units	5%>8%>13%

Path 3a lets you specialize even further in melee. You can increase the damage you do to an enemy's balance bar, making them easier to stun, and get a bonus to your heavy melee attacks.

Skill	Effect	Modifiers
Seeing Stars	Increases balance bar damage from melee attacks	10%>15%>25%
Blunt Force Trauma	Increases balance bar damage from blunt weapons	15%>30%
Heavy Hitter	Increases damage from heavy melee attacks	5%>10%>15%

As for his outfits, don't worry about them affecting his stats. The knight armor looks cool, but it's just for show. You'll get a few different looks for Ash, but they don't change how he performs in a fight.
