By Bracophone, I was wondering if you could make a sampo build?
I think the reason she’s underrated is bc she’s so different from the other supports. She’s not just about giving free turns or energy she’s about cycling as well as break. She basically never lets the enemy team move by constantly pushing your team forward and breaking the enemy shields. She’ll pretty much destroy any enemy with a fire weakness!

I didn't play Asta much until I started pulling Eidolons for her, so I had a fire weakness enemy and I was like "eh, I'll give her a shot." Then I realized that each hit of her skill will degrade the enemies toughness more than once, and that sold her for me.

The game s still new, and ppl havent figured out different playstyles n team comps yet. And just like u said, the first 2 banners were both hypercarries, so the normal buffers r easier to use than someone like Asta, not to mention she actually needs some gear n Eidolon to rlly get going

She actually straight up gives free turns and extra damage to your whole team. Every 2 ultis you use, your whole team gets a free turn, and she also gives constant attack buff. The reason she isn't as widely used is because not everyone has her at E4, but once she is E4, she becomes one of the best supports, on par with Tingyun and Bronya (though she only really shines vs fire weakness enemies).
If I had a nickel every time mona’s VA voiced a astrology/astronomy character I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but weird that it happened twice

I've been having a lot of fun pairing her with Welt to *really* press the speed advantage. You can get so many turns before the enemy has a chance to move, it's hilarious. Running them alongside Jing Yuan allows your Lightning Lord to stay fairly well stacked, and your healer ends up bearing a lot less pressure on your skill points because the enemy is barely attacking anyways; I'm currently running Natasha, but I'll probably switch to Luocha if I get lucky enough to snag him~

This is a great video man. Thank you. I actually like using ASTA but am still building her up. This helps a lot. Thanx and take care
I was just searching up Asta guides today kinda crazy LMAO great timing
Enjoyed your jokes on this one Brax! Cracked a smile more than a few times.
Something that noone seems to mention is asta's synergy with seele's signature. You can get max value and run atk boots on seele for even more damge.
Awesome guide! Really needed something to help point me in a good direction for Asta. Now if you can do Sampo one day then that would be fantastic
I'm not gonna lie: the "Fasta" made me chuckle! 😂You've earned a new subscriber there. I have mine at E2 because she was all I could get from that beginner banner. Still considering a reroll because I'd prefer getting different units and I rarely use her compared to Serval or even Herta.
Thanks for guide, I'm currently building Asta for my second team since I need another fire character besides fire MC and had been building more support characters for weaknesses.
LOVE these guides on the 4⭐️ cast!!!
"Fasta" was low-hanging fruit. I love it XD joke aside, these videos are super helpful, keep up the great work! Love the humor as well
I cant believe you used Hyper Rainbow Z for the music towards the end. I havent heard that song in forever
Her Synergy with Jin yan is perfect, also break effect on her is really good
I really wanted Serval dupes this banner. I pulled zero, and ended up with an e6 Asta I wasn't sure what to do with. Great timing on this video!

I only started building asta after I pulled for JY. Not really for her buffs but for toughness breaking since I need a fire. Realized her potential after a while and she's part of my team.
Thanks you for this Asta guide, I was waiting so long for it. Can you please do one for Gepard next, please?
I love Asta. I skipped her early game but had Eidolons after pulling for SW. E4 now and building her as a breaker/pusher with Wheat and Vonwacq with Speed ATK% Break Eff% FireDMG% alternating between Memories of the Past (with Clara) and Dance Dance Dance (Jing Yuan, Yanqing). She's great! 15-20k breaks, 61% Atk buff, Speed buffs.
new brax vid lets go, could you possibly do a sampo guide in the future?
I have a spicy meme build for my Asta where I use energy regen + the wind set 4 piece + dance dance dance. This results in a speed asta build where the wind set makes her ult advance her turn forward and dance dance dance advances forwards allies turns. Combined with the speed her ult gives to everyone and everybody is getting so many extra turns

I honestly think asta getting defense with more charge stacks as her trace is solid. obviously you can make the case that if she could gain more stacks and boost everyone more and kill the enemies faster, you wouldn’t need defense. but with an hp body and sphere (since she doesn’t need any stats beside energy regen and speed) + leveling her and her light cone to at least 70/80 allows her to tank decently well. especially since you want to put her next to your preservation/abundance unit, she takes hits pretty well for a non-tank unit (in comparison to a certain foxian harmony character who loves getting hit and dying all the time). admittedly, leveling the three star meshing cogs feels like a huge waste. but it is actually worth it in my opinion! anyways, great video as always! I watch a lot of video guides for both genshin and star rail, but yours are my favorite because you put in hilarious jokes and you’re overall super entertaining
im watching this now when said speed set exists
Someone from the future here boys it's kinda late but we now have a relic set for speed!!!
it is no longer called sprightly Vonwacq to me, it is now Sprightly vonbwalulubu. As always great video
I hear that Bang Dream Music in the background
I've never been this early on a brax video
I completely forgot about meshing cogs! I needed Asta's speed buff to have 100% uptime and this cone works perfectly
Its Ideal to have a harmony type character partnered in a hunt type of character for vetter performance and nihility type characters partnered with erudition for better break effect and effect hit rate for erudition

my first E6 character
So kind of freeballing Astas build without looking stuff up it looks like I combined all builds lol. Ive got the break set, energy rope, with a 50/100 split, dance dance dance, and fleet of the ageless. Do I need to adjust her to be one or the other or is she fine as is?
Asta is so underrated! tingyun might make your character hit like a fucking train but asta makes your team faster than a train also her breaks are amazing.
so would 5 star bronya LC S1 be enough to get her 2 turn ult with other relic stuff mentioned?
I wasn’t too excited for her but I was super into Dan. I dropped 100 tickets and no Dan, but I have a E6 for asta
That mas on point, i got e6 asta by accident
you could have mentioned, for team integrity or energy regeneration, the usage of the "Guard of Wuthering Snow" as alternative for her too, since, for faster ultimate rotations and while lacking abundance characters, she could be someone that can take hit alongside the preservation/destruction character (higher taunt value, as harmony), which can make her generate energy by getting hit and by running low hp while having some sustainability (the extra speed from her ultimate gives more opportunity for that relic set to work) she isn't meant to be DPS.... i mean, DPT by herself anyway, so she has a lot of versatility on her relic options, even now
As a Fire Party User, Asta is pretty much the core of my team, ignoring the fact I switch her out for supports when I need them. My team consists of Fire MC, Himeko, Bailu, and Asta. Ignoring the fact Bailu is a Lightning Character, it's mostly focused around Asta in the idea that she provides pretty powerful dmg buffs to everyone in the party. Furthermore, my greatest use for Asta has been focused around two traits of this party, that being my use of Himeko, and enemy Fire Weakness. As was stated in this video, Asta is fantastic for Weakness Breaks, and while I don't have the miracle that is Silverwolf, I can still kick any Boss's Ass with what makes Asta shine in my eyes. Something I think a lot of people ignore about Asta is her capability to annihilate any Fire Weakness Boss out there, with here skill being a multi-bounce on single characters, she can destroy an enemy's weakness in an instant, supply a weak, but helpful buff to the team, and if you have Himeko, trigger her reaction every Three Breaks (Two if we're counting the first round) to hit the entire team, or in this case, my very unfortunate boss, for pretty impressive damage in all. If we consider all the enemies are Fire Weak as well, I hope you could see where I find my enjoyment in Honkai: Star Rail. Absolute destruction. Now, I personally, made the horrid mistake of running Asta with an Attack Build. Don't shame me, I just really liked the multi-attack. Beyond that, with Fire MC and Bailu generating skill points pretty much every turn, alongside a shield (in Fire MC's case), and Asta alongside Himeko spamming skills, I'm currently running a Break Factory with Asta and Himeko all over it. Essentially, this goes to show that it doesn't really matter how you build your character exactly. What matters more is the concept you build them around, whether it's to use her ult every 2 Turns (Which I don't), or to torture and annihilate both Bosses and Parties alike. Overall, pretty solid Build, twas an enjoyable video. You've gained a new subscriber and my respect in the form of a single thumbs up.
Got lucky for her to be my first E6, have SW, e5 hook, just need to either build pyro MC or get a pyro healer and she’ll be grand with almost constant pyro weakness from SW Alternatively give her ER for no pyro weakness and no summons fights to spam burst to freeze stacks, double DPS team with any lifeline unit
2:38 You make a joke about Mona, they have the same English VA so that one hit extra hard XD

I am havving e5 asta and going for e6.Her atk buffs gives like 70% atk to whole team and her speed buff is insane.I am planning to run Jingyuan Tingyun Asta and Luocha who can all benifit from asta atk buff.
I can tell that the upcoming Traversing Hackerspace set will be the best asta set. For 1.2
My starter was Bronya so Asta didn't had much time to shine lol, but I was leveling her sideways until SW came, but I always suggest Asta to people. Most players don't know that she have the charge mechanic and only thinks that she is a AOE DPS with a lame speed buff... or players most use Hunt characters DPS so they don't see the need to have a party buffer.
As a f2p E1 Asta holder; that last team u made with fire mc+asta+SW+ Seele waa really good 👍 I use natasha instead of seele and she has the speed boots while Asta has the atk% boots 4piece break effect set, dance dance S1 & no E.R. but a break effect rope. This team with Destruction path on World 6 helped clear I & II much safely. Energy regen was no problem cause the enemies keep on hitting with that aoe ice attack and obviously Bronya.

A good guide, but I think depending on your roster she might not be worth building until E2. It's hard to justify that many skill points being used by someone who doesn't deal damage. Also I would caution against running her with Silver Wolf because the best way to build her (unless you're a whale) is with break effect too and then you have two people on the team who want to break. Even if you don't want to break with Asta it's totally rng if they're fire weak cause you never know how her skill will bounce. I do have Asta at E2 and I do run her quite often in MoC because speed is just broken and her attack buff is honestly quite huge.
i want a fire hunt character, also himeko is very good with her in simulate universe especially when selecting elation blessings

Omg I finally lvled her to 60 and threw her into MoC 6-8 and she walked all over the fire shields and made my team go brrrrr for more turns and dmg. I 3* 7 and 8 for the first time because of her and didn't struggle my way through 3* 6 with my limited roster like I have the last few times. Tbf I lucked into her e6 so she's got that going for her, but she was staying alive and making an important difference even without full investment yet. Like her traces only have e3 and e5 buffs right now. I'm gonna finish building her kit now that I have the resources and watch her be my Legally Blonde "what like it's hard" character🙏❤❤ Give your Asta some love because wow is she worth it imo.

Not sure which relic to go for, was planning on farming the fire set, but after this video not sure which set to go for as they all sound good out of the Light cone this one is the only one I got so set suggestion would be nice I have SW and Seele(E2), F2P here, saving all my pulls for Kafka I do have Gepard and Clara as my other 5 Star's trying do do MoC.

I literally just watched this video cuz I love Asta and Arlan
Thanks for the E1 info for 6 extra energy that i didnt know about. Somehow got asta E5 and memories of the past S3. Just require one more superposition to consistently get ult in 2 turns. For now, I will just use break effect set, getting hit and killing enemies for that last bit of energy. I could use asta with 1 skill and 2 basics to fill up her ult and be skill point positive. This is just my advice after using her in MoC: 1. Spam asta ult button at the very beginning of the battle before your and the enemies turn if have full energy as everyone will start at the 0 “distance” mark so the speed buff will take affect on the 10000 “distance” units before the buff starts ticking down. 2. Otherwise, It is normally best to use asta ult after everyone has done their actions so there is more “distance” for the team for speed to take effect on. 3. Her stacks decrease only in her turn so the atk buff will not wear off faster on super fast characters like sushang ult that gives another turn but the speed buff would wear off like normal. 4. Her stacks decreasing in her turn also mean she automatically has 3 less atk stacks than the team unless have E2 spamming ult. 5. If can spam ult every 2 turns, asta only needs enough speed to keep up with the team so everyone has the speed buff. If anyone has much higher speed, that character will just wear off the buff faster.
I don’t have bronya so asta is my go to support on my 2nd team in MOC.
I just got Asta to E6 now as f2p. I'm currently TB43
What I hoped this guide would show and what I heard no one talk about yet is how impactful her speed buff actually is. We know it's nice to have speed, but how much is it actually helping? How many extra turns per cycle would it give you in MoC? I feel like this should be the most important aspect of her character but everyone kind of side steps it.
