Complete S1 Academy Asta Guide & Build | Skills, Gear & Talents
Skills
Academy Asta’s passives focus on giving him extra ATK at the start of each turn. This increase in ATK can go up to 12%, which can be increased even further with items and effects.
1st Ability
His first skill is Cross Slash, which lets him strike an enemy using both the Demon-Dweller Sword and the Demon-Slayer Sword.
If there is a buff present, he has a 50% chance to deal a second additional attack that deals damage equal to 70% of his ATK.
The ability will increase his damage by 2% and can stack up to 5 times. This means that you can receive a damage increase of up to 10%.
2nd Ability
The second skill is Wild Dance. When used, you will slash an enemy with both your swords. Attacks after you use the skill will gain an increased ATK Lv. 1. You will also have an 80% chance to get 20% increased mobility.
With the enhanced version, this will be increased to Lv. 2 and a 30% increase in mobility. This ability is also one that lets you increase your damage.
The play style for this character will want you to scale the character’s power as the game goes on with all the damage buffs.
Ultimate Ability
Your final ultimate ability is Accelerated Approach. You will perform a powerful strike at an enemy, dealing damage.
When the enemy’s HP is above 80%, you will gain an extra turn. You will also receive a 30% damage increase after you attack a boss.
