Ashe

Ashe is one of the many main characters that joins Holly on her god-slaying quest. He kins Hubert von Vestra from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Overview
Ashe suffers from a measly 5% Strength, Speed, and Defense growth. However, his Luck, Magic and Res growths are outstanding, boasting a 70% growth rate. This means he is able to excel in many magic classes (though it is recommended he learns dark magic classes, as he is able to learn Hades Ω), and he will able to land many critical hits while avoiding many counter crits. (If needed, he can equip the Rafail Gem to ignore the risk of being hit by a critical, just in case.)

Battalion Vantage is a must for Ashe, as he is fragile and can die easily, but will deliver very strong hits with ease. Battalion Wrath, when combined with Ashe’s outstanding Luck growth, can make for many, many critical hits delivered to the enemy, in case a regular spell just doesn’t cut it. Aegis and Pavise are both super helpful, but Ashe suffers from many Subject Weaknesses. If playing on NG+, however, Thyrsus can be equipped with the correct Dragon Sign, which grants Aegis and Pavise for free. If the Chalice of Beginnings is equipped alongside Vantage, then Ashe can be safe even from Bolting and Meteor. Additionally, his high Res growth makes him almost invulnerable to magic attacks.

Naturally, Ashe can eventually class into Dark Mage and Dark Bishop; however, if he accepts himself as trans female during a specific chapter (after filling certain conditions), he will lose both of these classes, but have access to the powerful Gremory, doubling his spell uses. If Dark Mage/Dark Bishop is mastered beforehand, however, he will keep the mastery skill regardless. Otherwise, if one knows what to do ahead of time, then Ashe can go through the Monk class line (Monk, Mage, Priest, Warlock, Bishop, Gremory). Pegasus Knight isn’t too hard to master despite his Subject Weaknesses, which can allow him to master Darting Blow, which offsets the weight problems of his spells.

If Ashe’s spells just don’t cut it, however, he is able to access his Persona. Ashe has access to Thanatos Picaro, which increases the power of his dark magic spells, as well as giving him extra attacks to work with. Door of Hades is more powerful than Hades Ω, and SP costs aren’t worrisome, since he can learn Spell Master to halve SP costs. However, his defense issue isn’t fixed, and Ashe is still susceptible to any physical hits.

Overall, Ashe is a literal glass cannon, unless if dealing with other mages. He dishes out powerful magic attacks with ease, and can take magic attacks head-on, but will suffer greatly against physical hits. He is better suited as an NG+ unit, being able to equip Thyrsus.
