Asura			B	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. Mana Aid is fantastic for PvE farming as it lets him spam Ashura. Single-handedly trivializes Brands of Sin Deceit. Repel Phys in Teal and high VIT make him a good partner for Atavaka, Alilat, Demiurge, and Kalki
Cons	Weak to Ice. As nothing in his kit boosts damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory. Until P3, Ashura costs 7 mp, making it expensive to spam. His only Piercing attack being Random Target makes him near unusable in PvP. He will tickle Demeter's bulwark and just give her more.

Build(s)

Deceit Killer
	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.
