Ash

What do his abilities do?

Ash’s passive improves the damage and duration of Slash status effects he inflicts; the listed values are unresolved, so no numeric bonus can be stated. Shuriken launches damaging blades that can pin enemies to walls. Smoke Screen stuns nearby enemies and makes Ash invisible briefly. Teleport moves to a target and attempts a Finisher; a kill returns part of its energy cost. Blade Storm sends shadow clones against distant groups, and Ash can join the attack with Teleport.

When is Ash useful?

Use Smoke Screen to interrupt enemies and create a short window to reposition or attack from stealth. His passive makes Slash status effects a natural damage focus. Teleport suits isolated targets when a Finisher is practical, while Blade Storm is the listed option for groups at range. Its clones can be upgraded with mods.

What should you prioritize?

A practical build can support the ability you use most: Blade Storm’s clones accept mods, while the passive rewards weapons that inflict Slash status. Ash has 455 Health, 270 Shield, and 105 Armor in the listed stats, so his brief invisibility and stun are useful ways to manage exposure. Ash Prime has the same listed Health but higher Shield and Armor, plus altered polarities; consider it if those base-stat and customization differences matter to your build.

What can go wrong?

Smoke Screen lasts only a short time, so do not treat it as permanent protection. Teleport’s energy return is conditional on the Finisher killing its target. The passive’s numeric values are unavailable here; do not plan around a specific damage multiplier or duration.

Limitations and tradeoffs

• Relies on ability windows and target conditions for stealth and energy recovery.
• Passive effect is described without numeric values.
