While the game has many characters to choose from, players are unsure how to play each one. Each character plays differently and requires some strategy to win games. For instance, Evil Ash is a necromancer that may not be powerful on his own but is a force to be reckoned with since he can summon minions to overwhelm survivors. Players that want to learn more about Evil Ash and how to play him will find this guide right up their alley.

Evil Dead: The Game has three demons for players to choose from, each with their own variants. The Necromancer’s three variants are as follows:

  1. Basic Unit – Level 3
  2. Skeleton Elite – Level 5
  3. Evil Ash – Level 10

Players can only play Evil Ash once they reach level 10 as Necromancer. Evil Ash can dodge and spawn with a sword. He can summon minions, revive dead minions, and drain health from survivors. Evil Ash has the following stats:

  • Defense – 4/5
  • Damage – 4/5
  • Speed – 2/5
  • Abilities – 4/5

Evil Ash has a passive skill that prevents him from being knocked back. However, Evil Ash can be stunned once the balance bar is depleted. Apart from this, Evil Ash has six actions, which are as follows:

  1. Light Attack
  2. Heavy Attack
  3. Skeletal Support – Summons minions
  4. Skeleton Resurrection – Resurrects minions that die within the aura’s effect
  5. Infernal Invigoration – While choking a survivor, Evil Ash will heal and drain health from said survivor. This action cannot be dodged and can only be negated if other survivors attack Evil Ash
  6. Dodge – Evil Ash can dodge melee attacks

How to Play Evil Ash for Easy Wins

Players looking for easy wins as Evil Ash should consider the following tips:

  • As soon as the player spawns on the battlefield as Evil Ash, they should use Skeletal Support. When hunting and fighting survivors, use Skeletal Support and use Skeletal Resurrection as soon as any minion goes down.
  • Since Evil Ash fights like a melee Survivor, players should use this to their advantage and use a combination of light and heavy attacks to keep Survivors on edge.
  • When the Infernal Invigoration ability is available for use, only use it when Evil Ash’s health is halfway through. This strategy will be even more effective when Survivors are down since no one will revive the others or break the hold.

How to Prioritize Skill Selection for Evil Ash

Evil Ash has an extensive Skill Tree that takes some time to get through. For this reason, players should prioritize their selections based on skills that provide an instant advantage over Survivors, such as:

  • Infernal Revenue – Tier 1

Allows Evil Ash to acquire more Infernal Energy from orbs allows players to place more portals and traps.

  • Bone Rage – Tier 3

Allows Evil Ash’s Army of Darkness to attack more often and will increase survivability due to the prerequisite trait, Health Raiser: Basic.

  • Irreparable Damage – Tier 4

This skill prevents Survivors from recovering health for one second immediately after being attacked by Evil Ash.

  • Buffed Bones – Tier 6

Gives Evil Ash’s minions improved health and damage.
