Ashera Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

Ashera is an excellent offensive and defensive threat due to her incredible attacking and defensive stats. Though she is classified as a Defender, she is an equally competent Attacker and can take on enemies with little assistance.

Weaknesses

Ashera generates large amounts of aggro due to the shear power of her attacks and her aggro-increasing skills and effects. In order to properly defend her team, she'll need to be constantly healed by teammates to keep her in top shape especially when facing against multiple enemies at once.
