Asta's Best Relics and Ornaments

All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relic Set	Merits
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 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.
Thief of Shooting Meteor x4	★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best ・A decent relic to pick up if you want to focus on dealing Burn DMG.
Ornament Set	Merits
Broken Keel	★★★★★ - Best ・Assuming you can reach the Effect RES% requirements, Broken Keel is the best ornament for Asta. This provides the highest DMG buff for non-DoT teams.
Fleet of the Ageless	★★★★☆ - 2nd Best ・Fleet of the Ageless is also a great Ornament for Asta since it's very easy to reach the requirements needed to activate its special effects. It also increases Asta's survivability. ・It's better over Broken Keel if you're supporting DoT teams.
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas	★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best ・The extra 5% Energy Recharge provided by Lushaka, the Sunken Seas helps Asta get her Ultimate up in only 3 turns with a Skill-Basic Attack-Basic Attack rotation. ・However, this requires you to also use Energy Rope and S5 Memories or S5 Meshing Cogs.
