Ayra

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -RES
• Weapon: Slaying Edge+ (+Spd)
• Assist: Reposition
• Special: Regnal Astra
• Passive A: Distant Counter
• Passive B: Wrath
• Passive C: Even Spd Wave / Spd Smoke / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Quickened Pulse

Ayra’s defining feature is her unique Special Regnal Astra, and this build aims to maximize its usage. Combining a Slaying Edge with the Quickened Pulse Seal allows Ayra to activate her Special twice in a single combat (assuming she doubles her opponent). Another benefit of running Quickened Pulse is that because Ayra starts with her Special already charged, she can still activate it on Enemy Phase against enemies with Guard, potentially allowing her to overwhelm them with a Wrath-powered Regnal Astra.

One of the important facets of running a Slaying Edge is that the refine grants a +5 HP boost. This increases Ayra’s mixed bulk enough that she can easily run Distant Counter without having to worry about being constantly KO’d in a single hit by magic damage (aside from blue enemies). Having Distant Counter vastly increases Ayra’s versatility, as she has enough Speed to attack enemies on Player Phase if they’re too dangerous on Enemy Phase, or vice versa.

Wrath has powerful synergy with this build. A huge portion of Ayra’s damage output comes from her Special, and Wrath adds a significant +10 damage boost onto that. Once Ayra enters the HP threshold, she also benefits from the Special cooldown reduction as it allows her to have Regnal Astra charged at the start of each turn.

Even Spd Wave grants a huge +6 buff to Speed, which is a big boost for Ayra due to it increasing her ability to double as well as increasing her Regnal Astra damage. Spd Smoke is a good alternative to debuff enemies to help ensure Ayra’s Speed advantage. However, neither of these are essential to this setup, and can be replaced as needed to suit the team.

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -RES or -HP or -DEF
• Weapon: Firesweep Sword+
• Assist: Reposition
• Special: Regnal Astra
• Passive A: Life and Death / Swift Sparrow
• Passive B: Chill Def / Chill Spd / Swordbreaker / Hit and Run
• Passive C: Even Spd Wave / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Flashing Blade

Just like all of her other sets, Ayra can run a powerful Firesweep set thanks to Regnal Astra. The Flashing Blade seal is an important portion of the power of this build, as it allows her to activate Regnal Astra every combat assuming that she can double.

Life and Death offers slightly more offensive stats than Ayra’s base Swift Sparrow, and the defensive stat penalty is mostly mitigated since the whole point of Firesweep sets is to never get hit. Swift Sparrow is still a good option, however.

Since Firesweep allows Ayra to avoid relying on Desperation to safely double, she has a variety of options for her B skill. Chill Def’s -7 Defense debuff results in a huge damage boost for Ayra (+14 if she doubles). This is particularly useful considering that the enemy that gets hit by Chill Def is typically the one that Ayra wants debuffed anyway. Chill Spd doesn’t directly increase Ayra’s damage, but it does allow her to secure doubles against incredibly speedy foes. Swordbreaker is a cheaper alternative that provides a similar benefit, as the speediest enemies tend to be sword users. Finally, Hit and Run allows for Ayra to safely retreat after combat to help keep her alive through Enemy Phase.

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -RES
• Weapon: Wo Dao+ (+Spd) / Ayra’s Blade
• Assist: Reposition
• Special: Regnal Astra
• Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Fury / Life and Death
• Passive B: Desperation / Wrath
• Passive C: Even Spd Wave / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Flashing Blade / Quickened Pulse / Attack +3

This set is focused around maximizing Ayra’s offensive prowess via her Regnal Astra Special. The Flashing Blade seal allows her to replace her base Ayra’s Blade with Wo Dao, allowing her to combine +10 damage with Desperation. Using her base Ayra’s Blade will result in less burst damage, but the +10 damage from Wo Dao can be matched thanks to Ayra’s Blade having 2 highter Mt at base as well as running an Attack +3 Seal (assuming Ayra attacks twice).

For a purely Phase Phase-oriented setup, Ayra’s base Swift Sparrow and Desperation are typically her best options. For a more aggressive, burst-damage oriented approach utilizing a Wo Dao, Swift Sparrow can be replaced with either Fury or Life and Death, and Desperation with Wrath. Fury gives slightly less offensive stats than Swift Sparrow, but being able to work on both phases is important if running Wrath. Also, the recoil damage gives Ayra a small push to help ensure that she can safely enture Wrath’s HP threshold. Life and Death gives more offensive stats than Swift Sparrow, and the -5 penalty to Ayra’s defenses is mitigated by the +5 HP granted by using a refined weapon. The choice between Fury and Life and Death is mostly up to preference.

Running Wrath along with a Wo Dao means that Ayra gains a whopping +20 damage onto her Regnal Astra activations, often enough to completely obliterate enemies outright. This setup is best paired with the Quickened Pulse seal to help expedite Regnal Astra’s initial activation before Wrath is activated.
