Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP
PVE PVP Offense Defense
Asura.jpg Asura
 Teal Red Teal A F F -
Pros
  • High STR and Ashura are devastating against lone targets like Bosses. This makes him a very strong Phys Democalypse unit. P4 offers even more damage once per turn.
  • Three Faces Six Arms and his good innate bulk are the perfect counter to skills like Fire of Sinai in Brands of Sin Deceit, and the buffed 50% HP helps him tank it. P2 furthers this effect.
  • Single-handedly trivializes the enemy's offenses in Brands of Sin Deceit.
    • In Deceit 14, Teal is recommended to prevent the first wave from using Mortal.
  • Mana Aid is fantastic for PvE farming as it lets him spam Ashura.
  • Repel Phys in Teal and high VIT make him a good partner for Atavaka, Alilat, Demiurge, and Kalki
Cons
  • Weak to Ice.
  • No damage boosters until panel 3.
  • Until P3, Ashura costs 7 mp, making it expensive to spam.
  • The Random Target chain of Ashura can be problematic PvP. He will tickle Demeter's bulwark and just give her more.

Build(s)

Deceit Killer
ArchRed.png Transferred Skills Notes:

MVP in Brand of Sin: Deceit 11-12. Being able to draw in Fire of Sinais from Metatron and take little to no damage from it with his passive and the added bulk and Mag DEF from Life + Shield brands. Ashura hits Metatron real hard especially when powered up from P3 Zaou while also removing Meta's buffs. Max AGI investment is mandatory to go first in a rotation if Herokado is used, so as to immediately remove Meta's buffs. (Ensure in team composition he is in a slot ahead of Herokado since they speed tie at max AGI). Gigantomachia is needed to sweep in waves 1 & 2 but Purple can be used for Great Aim to ensure he lands Ashura on a buffed Metatron.
