Assessment
This section contains subjective remarks about this class. Relevancy of information and recommended weapons can quickly change over time. Use substantial discretion before heavily investing resources.
Overview
Apsaras is an offensive class that gains strength with more axes and spears equipped in the grid. This requirement can be quite restrictive depending on what weapons are available for the element. Due to its lacking class and Ultimate Mastery skills, Apsaras tends to only be used in low button setups.
