Asuka

Description: [Content]
Unlock Condition: Go through Peach Bun events and have Asuka join as an ally → Visit Sacred Tree.

Restrictions

• Dungeons: None.
• Item Categories: None.

Characteristics

• Normal Attack (No Runes) = Reaches 1 tile ahead, deals damage, 15% critical hit rate.
  • Asuka's critical hits deal x3.0 damage, crit chance boosting runes are additive.
    • Damage for guaranteed critical hit sources like Jagged Sword is possibly halved.
  • Damage increases primarily based on level, strength, equipped weapon, and other effects.
    • Other effects include runes (ex: Anti-Dragon) and status conditions (ex: Empowered, Damage-up).
  • Asuka deals more damage with weapons than Shiren ~ Rough damage calculation:
    • (WEP_ATK + STR_ATK + LV_ATK) - [ENEMY_DEF x 0.5] + 1 x RNG (87.5 ~ 112.5%)
      • WEP_ATK = [AP x 0.9768866551] + [AP x Strength x 0.0406122449]
        • AP = Weapon's attack power
      • STR_ATK = Strength
      • LV_ATK:
        • Level ≤ 4 = 0.5 + (Lv - 1) x 2
        • 5 ≤ Level ≤ 13 = 6.5 + (Lv - 4) x 1
        • 14 ≤ Level = 15.5 + (Lv - 13) x 0.5
• Defense = Asuka has no innate defense, and increasing level or strength does nothing for defense.
  • Damage received decreases primarily based on equipped shield and other effects.
    • Other effects include runes (ex: Costly Block) and status conditions (ex: Fortified, Damage-down).
  • Asuka's damage reduction based on shield strength is weaker than Shiren's:
    • Asuka:
      • Shield defense ≤ 40 = Reduce damage by 0.5 per point of defense less than or equal to 40.
      • Shield defense > 40 = Reduce damage by 0.3 per point of defense above 40.
    • Shiren:
      • Shield defense ≤ 20 = Reduce damage by 1.0 per point of defense less than or equal to 20.
      • Shield defense > 20 = Reduce damage by 0.6 per point of defense above 20.

Abilities / Altered Effects

• None.

Techniques

• All standard techniques that don't require other player character abilities can be performed.
