How To Use Asuka In Battle
As an expert of magic by lore, Asuka attacks enemies with spells. How well you can use him will depend on how fast you can learn all of them. There are 26 in total, with some still under wraps. As a result of his build, you will have to properly manage his mana bar. Keep in mind that the spells all require different amounts of mana to execute. Because of these mechanics, Asuka might be tricky to use for someone who is new to the game or isn’t used to spell-based characters. Fortunately, if you find that to be the case, Strive has plenty of other characters to choose from.
Some of the moves Asuka will have include:
- High Compression Submicron Particle Sphere
- Recover Mana (Instant)
- Bookmark (Auto Import)
- Delayed Howling Metron
- Sampler 404
- Howling Metron
- Chaotic Option
- Accipter Metron
- Shooting Time Stretch (Accelerate)
This is just a snippet of what Asuka will be able to do in battles. For the full version, stayed tuned for his official in-game launch on May 25th!
