Unlocking the Power of the Shard of Dawn Aspect in Diablo 4
Diablo 4's first seasonal event, Midwinter Blight, has officially begun, and with it comes several new cosmetics and rewards for players to earn. One of the most exciting rewards is the Shard of Dawn Aspect, a powerful tool that can enhance your character's speed and combat abilities.
What is The Shard of Dawn Legendary Aspect In Diablo 4?
The Shard of Dawn is an Offensive Aspect that can be purchased from Gileon, the events merchant, for 10 Midwinter Proofs. This Aspect has the following effect:
After 30 seconds of Night's Grasp, gain Dawn's Haste, increasing your Attack Speed by [25 - 35]% and Movement Speed by 20% for 12 seconds. While empowered by the Midwinter Ward, killing an enemy reduces Night's Grasp's duration by 1 second.
In simple terms, every 30 seconds, you will get the Dawn's Haste buff, which gives you the Attack and Movement Speed buffs for 12 seconds. However, if you have the Midwinter Ward buff on, you can reduce this cooldown with every kill and effectively cause this effect to be a permanent buff to your character.
What is Midwinter Ward?
Midwinter Ward is a buff that players can earn in World Tier III after reaching Tier three in the Midwinter Tribute Tiers. This buff is activated by interacting with the Tribute in Kyovashad and provides you with a buff to your damage against event-specific enemies.
Additionally, this effect makes your Shard of Dawn a much more effective Aspect, as with each kill, the cooldown is reduced and essentially becomes a permanent buff that will make you attack and move much faster.
What Builds Should Use the Shard of Dawn Aspect?
Without the Midwinter Ward buff, this Aspect loses some of its luster. However, with the Midwinter Ward buff, it can be a game-changer. Here are some builds that can benefit from the Shard of Dawn:
- Vampiric Power builds, especially those that feature Ravenous and Moonrise.
- Rapid and Wind Striker builds that can utilize the increased Movement Speed.
- Class-specific Movement and Attack Speed options that can complement the Shard of Dawn.
Overall, the Shard of Dawn Aspect is a powerful tool that can enhance your character's combat abilities. While it may not be suitable for all builds, it can be a great addition to certain builds that can take advantage of its effects.
