Ashlock is a really nice introduction for a new archetype. Not too strong and not so weak either, she's just alright. She'd be a nice unit to have if you're going to pull on Fartooth's banner
I have a LOT of defenders on my roster, more than any other archetype, and 3 of my 5 6*s are defenders (Hoshi, Saria and Blem), so I kinda want to get Ashlock to use with them and buff with Whislash. High DP cost assembly team but should be a lot of fun.
As someone who loves Defenders and being able to attack from range, she's perfect. My only problem is that Nalter is right around the corner and Ashlock isn't limited.
I feel like she will end up working pretty well on maps that have split enemy paths. Have her blocking one path while facing the other paths. Anytime she isn't blocking. She can provide some DPS to clear on the other side.
@@kyarumomochi5146 Ashlock can be easily replaced by just about any other operator. But you know what can't be replaced? Fun! Ashlock will be fun to play. Very few people don't like satisfying kabooms. And you're telling me she can rapidly bombard enemies and block immediately after? Roleplay value.
@@secretjosh5619 You are right about that! I like her design alot so ill be building her Just wanted to give a Meta standpoint for those that care about solid numbers wich isnt a bad thing people really need to stop crying about people liking meta its more than 99% of this community agree or not
Yes, I have some ideas some map clears using her and soon she'll be mine! I think this is the first archetype I want every character for outside of the Enmities.
Despite the next limited event being just around the corner, I think I’m still gonna roll some on this next banner, mainly because the ops here are just straight up more fun and interesting. Fartooth being a deadeye that can chunk vital but squishy targets like casters from across the map, Ashlock being one of my favourite classes role playing as an artillery cannon. Just significantly more interesting than another guard with busted attack that NTR Knight is to me. (Although, admittedly, W is on the same banner and I don’t have her yet so I can’t really pass on that... hmmm)
But Nearl alter ignores the deployment limit... Like these robot guys, but with huge dps and more hp. U just can helidrop her and kill anyone without retreating other ops. I think it will be great addition in any squad.
She has plenty of potential to combo off. I can think of pairing her with AOE guards or healder defenders to hold the lines. She's useful for people who plays with the "Don't need to block if they don't reach my operators in the first place" mentality but still want to have a defender to support the front lines. Why pick her over healer defenders to support the front? Unless you have blemishine healer defenders have low ATK and killing the enemy is just mitigated healing additionally if you already have a hearler supporting the lane you can be with a defender that lacks dps and without using of their support abilities. A nice addition to the defender tree.
@@kyarumomochi5146 Ranged guards can only do single target damage unless they have certain skills active. Ashlock's attacks do splash damage by default and she has a higher block count if she does have to block. It seems to me that she might be better suited for larger waves of enemies.
@@duskblade1119 Ranged guards have insane aspd and unless you are playing Rainbow six event no content in this game throws 700 enemies to your front walls Its way better to have an utility defender like nearl since ashlocks dps is not that high anyone else will be better at helping your front espiecelly ranged guards lappland may have less of a multi target dng but a certain 5 star male ranged guard is absolutely broken when you need to block multiple enemies
Decided to gamble a bit on the current banner to see if I can get -feet- Eunectes in my first guaranteed 5/6 and got extremely lucky and got it on my first single pull, but I got spooked by Ashlock instead... who just happens to be one of my most wanted characters in the whole game so while I'm not going to be getting the hottest e2 art in the game anytime soon, I at least have my first pinus sylvestris girl (not counting justice knight, whom I also love) and she just happens to my favorite of their lineup.

@@DManSammy W is amazing but just like chens weird alter she does something different from most aoe snipers and has way more utility wich is why its hard to compare her to other aoe snipers
I just put her behind lappland and lappland is behind matterhorn ashlock destroy small fry and enemies with high defends get a decent damage now she is E2 m3 on her skill 3 she's fun to use!
I play Ashlock Fartooth Flametail and Wild Mane (sometimes Justice Knight) and i can vouch for them, if you want to try the Pynus Sylvestris Knighthood, I am YanSylvestris At your sevice, all 4 of them at your service (Wild mane and Ashlock take turns each week because they lost a bet)
Tried to get her in 20 pulls too bad she ain't coming and I ain't risking the rest of my orondum to get her just like when I did to get Reed from her banner back then since *cough* I need Ling due to lack of summoner operator in my rooster.
True short answer: No Litterally why even tell people to build an op that is outclasses by everyone These guides are not useful if you arent discriminating the useless ones from useful ones
lmao meta slave, even if for example, pinecone is outclassed by chalter based on damage, it doesnt mean pinecone is trash overall, pinecone has better control over her skills and cheaper to build, sure, ashlock is most likely gonna get outclassed by horn in around 6 months, but ashlock will most likely have a niche that horn doesnt fill
niches are literally the point of the game, thorns is a good both anti ground and anti air with self heal but his skill takes a while to charge it twice for the inf duration, silverash has wide range skill 3 that does a lot of dmg at the cost of 70% of his def, surtr has a high dps of arts dmg but she cant hit air enemies and she slowly dies, and chalter is a broken piece of garbage.
@@wuffletobu unfortunately i gotta agree with kyaru on this, i dont think ashlock is worth to build at all, her acrhetype is whacky, her skill is basically more damage without utility so her block reduction seems excessive, and since the skill just make her like a regular aoe sniper but ground and with a faster aspd, a regular aoe sniper can do that already, so i dont think she covers any weird niche at all, maybe making defenders only run easier?, to be fair she is the first of her archetype so a flop is to be expected. the only reason i would build her is either her design, you got too much resource on your hand, or you like whacky archetype, meta slave or not i just dont want player to regret building a character that they can't use

I love Ashlock's E2 art. Removing some armor is perfect, good job artist kun 👏👏
Me too
He's a man of culture
YES
Yes.
I can see her working really well with Liskarm. They can alternate their no block downtimes and Liskarm's SP battery will be helpful too.
The fortress knights, Ashlock and Horn, both have huge boost after E2.
So remember, you must E2 them no matter what.
HUGE 😏
Im broke
Pls
No bully

Thorns ate my everything
As someone who loves Defenders and being able to attack from range, she's perfect. My only problem is that Nalter is right around the corner and Ashlock isn't limited.
Well since she's a 5* your chance is higher to get her with only couple of pulls
@@FrostByte262 True. I'm guessing we are guaranteed Nalter at 300 pulls like Chalter was, so I need to do the math first.
@@manwithabasicprofilepic Yeah the 6 stars are always 300. TBH you'd have to be real unlucky to need 300 to get her in my experience

Her design looks neat, and i like her voice too. If she's Waifu, then i'll build her
She's a final defense line that can pretty much help ensure that nothing gets close to that line.
So can ranged guards?

Since Ashlock S2 has no block she might be in good position for supporting role in back lines
Or just any aoe sniper or even better a ranged guard
@@kyarumomochi5146 Yeah probably both
or simply use her to bombardier enemies that sits on some spot for a while from afar then put a ranged guard behind her
@@telstraroenssel3701 Or just only use a ranged guard and an aoe sniper?

Orrrr you could build two artillary boyz

2 of Horn skills involved self HP drain as cons, meanwhile Ashlock S2 obvious con are 0 block upon skill activation.

Ash S2 behind Blaze S2 Behind Specter S2. NONE SHALL PASS! 9 block, all AOE dmg, Specter undying, Blaze Undying.
Reasons to build Ashlock:
~ She has a Monster Hunter Gunlance.
That is the only reason you need. Cheers and happy shelling!
Gunlance is a good reason but isnt it better to just build bagpipe for that?
Reduce block count to 0 as a defender is whacky af
But you get arty
AshLock is great, it's everything that you need to know

Lol got Ashlock, NTR, Ifrit and Flametail in one 10 pull. Now they're Holding the front and my new mains.
Ofc ill complete my kazimier knights ops list
*Ashlock activate skill 2:
"Well... I'm not defender anymore..."
*Proof of a Hero intensifies*
Liskarm's new best friend.
I just find Ashlock is better than fartooth in term of usability and lovable. Especially the voice.
Honestly, I can see merit on using her S1 rather than S2. But overall she's basically an aoe sniper which you can deploy in ground tiles
With less dps and same cost of a ranged guard
Yeah no not like aoe snipers were any good
