All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relic Set Merits
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Messenger Traversing Hackerspace x4 ★★★★★ - Best
・Messenger Traversing Hackerspace is the best Relic Set for Asta. Keep in mind that the 4pc. effect that applies a SPD buff for everyone does not stack.
Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations x4 ★★★★☆ - 2nd Best
・Watchmaker is an alternative if another party member is already using Messenger Traversing Hackerspace. The Break Effect is also great for Asta if she can Weakness Break the enemy.

Highly underrated character. If you ever get frustrated beating MoC 12 with standard teams, consider using her as an ace in the hole. Her speed buffs enable your teammates to act more in a turn.
