Introductions

Asta is a 4-Star character with the Fire element who follows the Path of Harmony and has been in the game since 1.0. Asta is a great support character, especially for Silver Wolf LV.999. She can provide her team with increased Speed and ATK and is accessible from early game for you to use in your team.
Our Asta Build Guide will show you the best Light Cones, Relics, and team compositions to help you build the best Asta.

Asta's Best Light Cone

Listed below are the Light Cones we recommend for Asta.

Dance! Dance! Dance!
S5

When the wearer uses their Ultimate, all allies' actions are Advanced Forward by 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0 / 22.0 / 24.0%.

Sources: Stellar Warp

Dance! Dance! Dance! is the best Light Cone option you can use for Asta. It provides her with action advancement for all allies when she uses her Ultimate, which is great for Asta as she will be using her Ultimate frequently.

Meshing Cogs
S5

After the wearer uses attacks or gets hit, additionally regenerates 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 Energy. This effect cannot be repeatedly triggered in a single turn.

Sources: Stellar Warp

This 3-star Light Cone is the next best option to use if you don't have Dance! Dance! Dance!. This Light Cone provides Asta with energy regen if she gets hit or after she uses an attack. This helps her regain energy faster so that she can use her Ultimate more frequently to keep the uptime on her Speed buff.

Planetary Rendezvous
S5

After entering battle, if an ally deals the same DMG Type as the wearer, DMG dealt increases by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%.

Sources: Stellar Warp

Planetary Rendezvous allows Asta to deal additional damage if an ally has the same damage type as her. At S5 this increases the amount of additional damage by 24% not just for her but her allies who have the same damage type as well. Ensuring that the main DPS is the same damage type makes this Light Cone more usable.

Post-Op Conversation

Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 8.0 / 10.0 / 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0% and increases Outgoing Healing when they use their Ultimate by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%.

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Asta

Best Relics for Asta

These are the best Relic sets for Asta.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally, SPD for all allies increases by 12.0% for 1 turn(s). This effect cannot be stacked.

This 4-piece set is the best set to use, especially when pairing Asta and Silver Wolf LV.999 in a team. It provides increased SPD for herself as well as further increased SPD for allies after using her Ultimate, increasing the overall SPD stats even further. For Silver Wolf LV.999 this can help you to cap out her Trace.

Eagle of Twilight Line

2-Piece Set: Increases Wind DMG by 10.0%.

4-Piece Set: After the wearer uses their Ultimate, their action is Advanced Forward by 25.0%.

Eagle of Twilight Line allows Asta to advance her action by 25% when she uses her Ultimate, helping her to keep the uptime on her speed buff once again through her Ultimate.

Best Planar Ornaments

Sprightly Vonwacq

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5.0%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's action is Advanced Forward by 40.0% immediately upon entering battle.

A great Planar Ornament for Asta that provides her with 5% energy regen rate as well as action advancement by 40% as soon as she enters battle when her speed is above 120. This allows her to act first upon entering battle and receive her Ultimate faster to be able to provide the extra SPD for her team.

Broken Keel

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Effect RES by 10.0%. When the wearer's Effect RES is at 30.0% or higher, all allies' CRIT DMG increases by 10.0%.

Another good choice for Asta, increases her Effect RES by 10% in addition to increasing CRIT DMG for her team when her own Effect RES is above 30%.

Asta Build Comments

Character Overview

Asta's main role is to support her team by providing as much speed as possible through the use of her Ultimate. Focusing on trying to increase her attack stats in any way is pointless, as she will not be doing any sort of meaningful damage, making it pointless to waste your time and resources. Focusing on gaining pure speed stats is the main goal and focusing on survivability will be next. When it comes to teaming with Silver Wolf LV.999, for example, having a decent amount of HP and DEF will come in handy as her teams are mainly sustainless.

When it comes to Asta's Traces, her A2 will have an 80% base chance at inflicting "Burn" through her basic ATK, which will make enemies take Fire DoT at the start of each turn equal to 50% damage dealt by her attack. Asta's A4 will increase an ally's Fire DMG by 18%, and lastly her A6 will increase her own defence by 6% for every charging stack she possesses.

Asta's Talent provides her Charging Stacks when an enemy is hit by her as well as an extra stack if the enemy has Fire Weakness. Every stack Asta possesses increases her allies' ATK. This is a great way of helping to increase her team's overall damage while she is waiting for her Ultimate to recharge.

Asta's Best Teams

Asta Teams

Asta's Best Eidolons

E6 – Each turn when Asta loses charge stacks, the amount of stacks lost is reduced by 1. This prolongs the amount of damage her allies can deal for longer.
E2 – When using her Ultimate, Asta will not lose any charge stacks on the next turn. Again, this is great as it ensures that her allies have increased ATK for a longer period of time.
E4 – When Asta has more than 2 charge stacks available, her energy regen rate is increased by 15%. This allows her to use her Ultimate more frequently and keep the uptime on her speed buffs.
