Diablo 4 Black River: How To Get, Stats & Build – eXputer

Each class in Diablo 4 has its own special build with special weapons acquainted with them. The game offers many extraordinary weapons from various sources. Furthermore, the greater difficulty you play on, the rarer and better the weapons as loot will be. Our Black River Diablo 4 guide will cover one of those weapons, a scythe mostly used by Necromancers.

Black River Scythe Stats In Diablo 4

Before you do go hunting for the Black River, it is important to know why and if you even need it for your build. The Black River Scythe works best with the Necromancer Class; it is a Unique item, after all. Additionally, it boosts the Corpse Explosion skill of a Necromancer by a great amount.

+[30 – 37] Intelligence
+[9.5 – 13.0]% Damage to Distant Enemies

How To Get Black River Scythe

Getting the Black River Scythe isn’t among the simplest of tasks in Diablo 4. There are a bunch of requirements that you must fulfill before you can even make an attempt at getting this Scythe. Keep in mind that it is a unique weapon, so you can’t just pick it off the vendor.

The first and most important requirement for this item is that your world should be either Nightmare or Torment difficulty. Additionally, your world tier has to be a minimum of 3; recommended, however, is 4. Finally, if you have these, the Black River can be obtained in the following ways.

Opening chests in world tier 3
Defeating world bosses on the mentioned difficulties and getting it as an Epic drop.
Participating in Helltide Events with the mentioned requirements. 

Best Builds To Use Black River With

To complete our Black River Diablo 4 guide, we have also listed some of the best builds you can try out with this weapon of mass destruction. Granted, we won’t be discussing these builds in length, but we will provide you with enough information to decide if you want to use that build or not.

Corpse Explosion Build

First and foremost in our Black River Diablo 4 builds is the Corpse Explosion build. This build is one of the most popular builds with the Necromancer class. It is by far one of the most destructive builds in Diablo 4 because of how effective it is in dealing with both hordes and single targets.

Black River Gameplay

It makes excellent use of the Corpse Explosion skill, which just makes dead bodies blow up to deal damage to any enemies left alive. This skill is boosted by the Black River, as discussed above because it adds more damage to the skill and obliterates anything that can take damage.

Bone Spear Build

The second build among our Black River Diablo 4 builds is the Bone Spear Build. Although this build is nowhere near as popular as the former, it is still very fun to play. If you like range and Javelins, this build is built for you.

The Black River doesn’t boost this build a lot in terms of utility but improves the “Fueled by Death” skill of the build immensely. Again, this build is more complex than these macro notes, but we would recommend that you check out both to see which one fits your style better.

Finally, the time has come to conclude our Black River build guide. Hopefully, you found this guide helpful and fun to read. If there is something you wish to add, feel free to do so in the reply section.
