Ashura is a physical ability for Lightning in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It is a unique version of the Heavy Slash ability exclusive to the Dark Knight garb, dealing heavy physical damage on a single target, but at the expense of sacrificing HP.
Obtained[]
Ashura Lv. 3 is automatically obtained as one of the locked abilities for the Dark Knight garb, which can be obtained by completing the "To Save the Sinless" side quest in Luxerion.
Mechanics[]
Ashura shares the same animation as Heavy Slash. When used, Lightning unleashes an explosive finishing slash on the target, dealing heavy physical damage. Like Heavy Slash, Ashura can temporarily interrupt a target and sometimes launch them into the air. The ability costs 50 ATB and 5% of Lightning's max HP to perform.
Ashura has the following set stats and cannot be upgraded.
