This skill is Ashlock’s main strength as it allows her to dish out bursts of splash damage while still having good single target damage. The main contributor to this is the skill’s large attack interval reduction, helping eliminate what holds the archetype back against non-group enemies. It still has a sizable ATK boost to help deal with even armored enemies, and its quick rotations allow it to be used very often against incoming waves.

Its main drawback is Ashlock’s inability to block for its duration. It may not be a large issue in some stages where she can wipe out most weaker enemies and weaken larger ones as they’re approaching, since the low duration means she’ll often be able to block again by then. But in some situations with very fast enemies, she won’t be able to effectively switch around when dealing with them.
