Ashveil Guide and Best Builds

Introductions

Ashveil is a 5★ Main DPS/Sub DPS Lightning Character following the Path of Hunt. Ashveil is a DPS that marks targets and stores Follow-up Attacks that can be amplified with his Ultimate.
Our Ashveil Build Guide will show you the best Light Cones, Relics and Team Compositions to have the best Ashveil you can.

Ashveil's Best Light Cone

The percentage numbers showcase the relative DPS increase when you take into account both the Lightcone Effect(s) and Cones Base Stats. Calculations will come at a later date.

The Finale of a Lie
S1

Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0 / 27.0 / 30.0%. At the start of battle or for every 4 Follow-Up ATKs the wearer uses, the wearer gains "Umbra Devourer," lasting for 3 turn(s). While the wearer has "Umbra Devourer," increases ATK by 40.0 / 50.0 / 60.0 / 70.0 / 80.0% and reduces all enemies' DEF by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%. Effects of the same kind cannot stack.

This is Ashveils's Signature 5★ Lightcone and is Ashveils's best build option. This Lightcone gives CRIT Rate and a powerful ATK buff to Ashveil while reducing all enemy defense by 24%. This Lightcone provides all the stats that Ashveil would want, and in combination with his defense reduction on the Bait target, it combines to a whopping 74% defense shred from just Ashveil alone.

Worrisome, Blissful
S1

Increase the wearer's CRIT Rate by 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0 / 27.0 / 30.0% and increases DMG dealt by Follow-Up ATK by 30.0 / 35.0 / 40.0 / 45.0 / 50.0%. After the wearer uses a Follow-Up ATK, inflicts the target with the "Tame" state, stacking up to 2 time(s). When allies hit enemy targets under the "Tame" state, each "Tame" stack increases the CRIT DMG dealt by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%.

This is Topaz's Signature 5★ Lightcone and is a powerful option if you have access to the Light Cone Manifest shop. This Lightcone gives CRIT Rate and a damage increase to follow-up attacks. This Lightcone also provides a small CRIT Damage buff to targets struck by Ashveil's follow-up attacks, which can rack up a good amount of extra damage in fights with just 1 or 2 targets.

Baptism of Pure Thought
S1

Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 20.0 / 23.0 / 26.0 / 29.0 / 32.0%. For every debuff on the enemy target, the wearer's CRIT DMG dealt against this target additionally increases by 8.0 / 9.0 / 10.0 / 11.0 / 12.0%, stacking up to 3 times. When using Ultimate to attack the enemy target, the wearer receives the "Disputation" effect, which increases DMG dealt by 36.0 / 42.0 / 48.0 / 54.0 / 60.0% and enables their Follow-Up ATKs to ignore 24.0 / 28.0 / 32.0 / 36.0 / 40.0% of the target's DEF. This effect lasts for 2 turns.

Sources: Event Warp (limited)

This is Dr. Ratio's Signature 5★ Lightcone and is an option if you have it available. This Lightcone gives a substantial amount of CRIT Damage since Ashveil can easily activate the conditions for the extra CRIT Damage through his own DEF shred debuffs. The additional follow-up attack damage and DEF shred is a nice bonus, allowing for a large damage increase to Ashveil's follow-up attack damage. This Lightcone is lacking CRIT Rate, which can increase your relic requirements.

Cruising in the Stellar Sea
S5

Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 8.0 / 10.0 / 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0%, and increases their CRIT Rate against enemies with HP percentage 50.0% or less by an extra 8.0 / 10.0 / 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0%. When the wearer defeats an enemy, their ATK is increased by 20.0 / 25.0 / 30.0 / 35.0 / 40.0% for 2 turn(s).

Sources: Herta's Store

This is the F2P Herta's Store 5★ Hunt Lightcone and acts as a baseline. This Lightcone gives you a lot of CRIT Rate and then gives you even more CRIT Rate against targets below 50% HP. Additionally, when you kill an enemy, you gain an ATK % buff for 2 turns. This ATK % buff can be difficult to maintain in boss fights, but since Ashveil's follow-up damage can retarget, you can use this to pick off weaker side enemies and maintain damage and buff uptime.

Swordplay
S5

For each time the wearer hits the same target, DMG dealt increases by 8.0 / 10.0 / 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0%, stacking up to 5 time(s). This effect will be dispelled when the wearer changes targets.

Sources: Stellar Warp

This is a 4★ Limited Lightcone that provides a stacking large amount of DMG % whenever you hit an enemy that resets if you hit a different enemy. If you have no other available options, this lightcone is great at melting single targets, but its nature of resetting on target switching makes it not ideal for multi-enemy or wave content.

See You at the End
S5

Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 24.0 / 28.0 / 32.0 / 36.0 / 40.0%. The Skill DMG and Follow-Up ATK DMG dealt by the wearer increase by 24.0 / 28.0 / 32.0 / 36.0 / 40.0%.

Sources: Nameless Glory

This 4★ Battle Pass Lightcone provides a good CRIT Rate stat and some extra skill and follow-up attack damage. While the bonuses on the Lightcone are fantastic for Ashveil, having access to this Lightcone also means you have access to Topaz's signature lightcone, which has comparable bonuses at S1.

Only Silence Remains
S5

Increases the wearer's ATK by 16.0 / 20.0 / 24.0 / 28.0 / 32.0%. If there are 2 or fewer enemies on the field, increases wearer's CRIT Rate by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%.

Sources: Stellar Warp

This is a 4★ Limited Lightcone that provides an ATK% buff and a decent CRIT Rate buff when there are less then 2 targets on the field. This Lightcone is a great F2P option that can help ease relic stat requirements if you know you will proc the extra CRIT Rate.

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Ashveil

Best Relics for Ashveil

These are the best Relic Sets to build for Ashveil. The percentage shows the relative difference to Ashveil's best performing set.

The Ashblazing Grand Duke

2-Piece Set: Increases the DMG dealt by Follow-Up ATK by 20.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer uses a Follow-Up ATK, increases the wearer's ATK by 6.0% for every time the Follow-Up ATK deals DMG. This effect can stack up to 8 time(s) and lasts for 3 turn(s). This effect is removed the next time the wearer uses a Follow-Up ATK.

The Ashblazing Grand Duke is a great default relic set for Ashveil that works for him when he plays both as a Main and Sub DPS. This set is focused on follow-up attack damage, which is primarily what Ashveil's damage consists of. Since Ashveil's follow-up hits multiple times, it is very easy to stack a high ATK% on the sets effect, especially after the follow-up has been enhanced by his ultimate.

Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters

2-Piece Set: Increases DMG dealt to enemies with debuffs by 12.0%.

4-Piece Set: Increases CRIT Rate by 4.0%. The wearer deals 8.0%/12.0% increased CRIT DMG to enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs. After the wearer inflicts a debuff on enemy targets, the aforementioned effects increase by 100%, lasting for 1 turn(s).

Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters is an alternative relic set for Ashveil that plays with his defense down debuffs to activate the effect of Dead Waters. The extra damage from hitting debuffed targets is always active due to his defense shred debuff, and the extra CRIT stats can help ease build requirements while still offering good damage.

Best Planar Ornaments

Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves
100%

2-Piece Set: When an ally character uses a Follow-Up ATK, the wearer gains 1 stack of "Merit," stacking up to 5 time(s). Each stack of "Merit" increases the DMG dealt by the wearer's Follow-Up ATKs by 5.0%. When there are 5 stacks, additionally increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 25.0%.

The new relic set added in 4.1 is catered for Ashveil's kit as a follow-up attacker and a Sub-DPS. It provides the wearer a strong ATK% Buff after a follow-up attack and a teamwide CRIT Damage Buff that cannot be stacked. If Ashveil is acting as Sub-DPS in the party, this is his best option, but will work well even when he is positioned as a Main DPS.

Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves

A strong alternative for Main DPS Ashveil. At max stacks, this planar ornament provides 25% Follow-up ATK DMG and 25% CRIT DMG. Ashveil isn't the fastest at stacking this effect, but once its online, the buffs are very strong for his outgoing damage.

Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's ATK by 12.0%. When entering battle, if at least one teammate follows the same Path as the wearer, then the wearer's CRIT Rate increases by 12.0%.

Another alternative for Ashveil, providing ATK% and CRIT Rate that can help ease build requirements. Make sure you only use this in team compositions alongside another Hunt unit to activate its effect.

Ashveil's Best Teams

To learn all about Ashveil's synergies and best team compositions, check our dedicated Ashveil's team page below:

Ashveil Teams

Ashveil's Best Eidolons

Archers's first two Eidolons are his most efficient Eidolons with his first specifically being quite strong if you want to run him as Sub-DPS. Between getting his S1 or E1 in this role, We'd suggest the S1 if you want a cheaper investment for both his Sub and Main DPS roles or need assistance with the stats for Ashveil, but otherwise the E1's buff is a little stronger for most compositions. If you want to run Ashveil as a Main DPS, you can consider grabbing his E2 for a substatial power boost.

If you wish to get Archer's Eidolons then either E1 or E2 is a good stopping point as E1 and E2 are significantly stronger than E3, E4 and E5 with the value only going back up again at E6.
