Asha NEW!

Asha is one of many damage-boost operators focused on increasing overall team DPS. Of all the operators who buff damage, Asha is among the strongest. Asha’s combination of potent offensive buffs, stun utility, buff accessibility, and simple trigger order make her well-suited to supporting burst damage setups across PVE and PVP.

In PVE, Asha’s value is hinged on the fact ASSR damage dealers contribute the bulk of most teams’ damage; Asha’s operator buff applies to 4+ DP characters, which covers the vast majority of dedicated damage dealers in the game.

As of writing, no use cases for Asha in PVE have been identified. In the current PVE environment, Asha has been sidelined in favor of more specialized competitive damage-boost operators (i.e. Sasha, Vivian Rashford). This may change in the future.

In PVP, Asha can easily find value paired alongside ASSR backline carries; there is no shortage of damage dealers in want of more damage. Asha provides a thoughtful combination of offensive buffs that can be used to enable elaborate burst damage setups. Asha’s on-demand stun locks down the enemy team, opening a 4s DPS window to output damage uninhibited.

Importantly, Asha’s offensive buffs include an absurd +80% Anti-Ground DMG% buff (decaying), an otherwise inaccessible damage stat found only on gear. DMG% is highly coveted for how it offsets DMG RES%, and Anti-Ground DMG% is especially valued for how the overwhelming majority of PVP units are ground units.
