  • Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

When picking each piece of equipment, prioritize options with the following stats as main and sub-stat options:

  • HP%
  • Speed
  • Energy recharge
  • Effect resistance

What are Asta's priority skills?

As a speed and attack buffer, Asta's talent and ultimate are the two most important parts of her kit, so focus on upgrading those first. Then, you can move on to the rest of her kit.

Here is Asta's skill priority:

  • Talent = Ultimate > Skill > Basic attack
