Trace priority
- Talent
- Ultimate
- Skill
- Basic ATK
Asta builds Charge by hitting enemies, converts those stacks into team ATK and uses her Ultimate to push the entire party across SPD breakpoints.
How to play it
- 1Open with Skill into multiple enemies or a Fire-weak boss to establish Charge quickly.
- 2Basic Attack when Charge is stable and the team needs Skill Points.
- 3Use Ultimate before the damage dealers act so its SPD covers their next turns.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
The review treats Asta as a tempo support: Charge uptime, Ultimate cadence and team turn order outrank personal Fire damage. Dance! Dance! Dance! advancement is not counted as sheet SPD.
