Assessment

Apsaras is a support class which boasts the one of the highest innate multiattack rates, right after Class 270201 mc icon.pngDrum Master and Class 160301 me icon.pngLuchador and rivaled only by Class 210301 kt icon.pngRuneslayer. Like the previous classes in its line, Apsaras has bonus effects in its skills that activate depending on whether an Axe or Spear is equipped as the main weapon. Equipping Helmwige square.jpg Helmwige activates both Spear and Axe effects at once, including the class support skill, bringing them to their full potential. The EM skill Ability Springwater Robe.png Springwater RobeGain Status Mirror Image.pngMirror Image (2 times)Next one-to-one attack received will be ineffective
(Effect removed on next all-foe all-ally attack)
 and Status Springwater Robe.pngSpringwater RobeOn next skill cast, both spear and axe effects activate
Duration: 3 turns or until a skill with Spear/Axe effects is used. is an alternative to Helmwige, but only affects the next applicable skill.

Compared to the other high-level Spear-proficient classes (Class 110301 sw icon.pngSpartan, Class 420301 sp icon.pngCavalier and Class 120301 wa icon.pngSage), Apsaras is the most offense-oriented, Spartan provides the best defense against single-turn damage, Sage provides the best healing, and Cavalier (with a Spear) provides the strongest tanking and countering abilities against enemy normal attacks.

In the Axe-specialty department, Apsaras' competition are Class 100301 sw icon.pngBerserker and Class 410301 ax icon.pngLumberjack. While Apsaras carries a wider range of party-wide buffs, Berserker generally has better damage potential and its Sword proficiency is easier to build an Ultima or Hollowsky weapon team around. Lumberjack competes with Apsaras more directly as a support class, and while it needs more ramp-up time, its abilities are much better for solo play or long battles than Apsaras is.

Skills

  • Ability Thunder on the Water.png Thunder on the Water300% elemental damage to one enemy. (Damage cap: ~640,000.)
    Spear: Inflict Status Lock.pngBreak Boosted (Time)Break mode time is extended
     to one enemy in Break.

    Axe: Mode bar cut to one enemy in Overdrive.
    All allies gain Status Uplift.pngCharge Bar +20%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 20%
    Strength: 20%    .    :     A serviceable skill, but its Axe effect is far better in the game's current state. Its inherent damage is decent, but not particularly notable. Some players may find themselves never using this skill outside of its axe effects.
    • Spear: Most players who can unlock Apsaras will likely have grids strong enough to make Status AttackUp.png10% Skill DMG UpSkill DMG is boosted
      Strength: 10%Duration: 2 turns       useless, as it doesn't boost Skill DMG Cap. Many HL raids will reset mode bar at certain HP triggers, nullifying the effects of Status Lock.pngBreak Boosted (Time)Break mode time is extended
       and lowering its value and Break states are far more likely to break to damage dealt anyway.
    • Axe: Status Uplift.pngCharge Bar +20%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 20%
      Strength: 20%       is always helpful, and while the cut to mode bar is negligible, it scales slightly better into later-game raids with long Overdrive gauges. Be sure to use Ability Swan Song.png Swan SongAll parties gain Status Uplift.png10% Charge Bar Gain UpCharge bar gain is boosted
      Strength: 10%Duration: 3 turns      .

    Strength: (Healing cap: 800)Duration: 3 turns     and Status DebuffSuccessUp.png10% Debuff Success BoostedDebuff success rate is boosted
    Strength: 10%Duration: 3 turns    .    :     A useful support skill that affects all parties' charge bar gain. However, its low strength and lengthy cooldown makes it less desirable compared to skills with shorter cooldowns or character skills with stronger effects.
    • Spear: A relatively reliable Crit buff is always welcome, but doesn't have any explicit synergy with other skills.
    • Axe: Enjoys more synergy with Thunder on the Water300% elemental damage to one enemy. (Damage cap: ~640,000.)

    Strength: 20%Duration: 3 turns    .     is the most situational Extended Mastery Skill that depends heavily on the fight, your main weapon, and team.
    • Its Status AttackUp.png50% ATK UpATK is boosted
      Strength: 50%       buff is strong, but only effects party members besides the MC. If you need a party-wide ATK up, Rage IIIAll parties gain Status AttackUp.png30% ATK UpATK is boosted

      Strength: 30%       effect, but it also has a lower cooldown, affects the MC as well as all other raid participants, and does not self-inflict DEF Down.
    • Status Devotion.pngDevotionThe ally with the highest remaining HP takes one-ally attacks in your place
       shines when the MC must not be hit in order to maintain a buff or trigger an effect, such as Status HypeUp.pngHigh TensionHype lvl increases each turn / Ends upon taking DMG (Max hype lvl 4)
      -style buffs or certain weapon skills such as Helmwige (Humanity) or True Conviction Flashspear's. However, Devotion's poor uptime (3 turns vs. its 8-turn cooldown) means you need other character abilities to fill in the gaps, and it cannot redirect damage from all-ally attacks. Combos well with Ability Spirit.png EinherjarGain Status AttackUpStack.png20% ATK Up (Stackable / Max: 100%)ATK is boosted on every turn
      Strength: 20% (Max: 100%)Multiplier: Unique StackableDuration: Until hit      .       for up to double damage with enough time to build up.
    • Consider bringing Ability ClearAll.png ClarityRemove 1 debuff from all parties. or a character with debuff clearing abilities if you expect to take heavy damage.
  • Ability Crestfallen Flower.png Crestfallen FlowerGain Status Veil.png50% Debuff Res. UpDebuff resistance is boosted

    Above 50%, strength decreases linearly until 10% at 100% HP    .     provides useful damage buffs but is hampered by its low values. Certain elements typically favor one buff or the other, making the skill pickier about your main weapon than Apsaras' other options. However, when used with Springwater RobeGain Status Mirror Image.pngMirror Image (2 times)Next one-to-one attack received will be ineffective
    (Effect removed on next all-foe all-ally attack)
     and Status Springwater Robe.pngSpringwater RobeOn next skill cast, both spear and axe effects activate
    Duration: 3 turns or until a skill with Spear/Axe effects is used    .     or Helmwige, both modifiers are multiplied with each other, and the party's damage output becomes more well-rounded regardless of health. The skill is more useful against enemies that debuff your party upon using special attacks, as the party gains a 50% chance of avoiding the debuff.
  • Ability Springwater Robe.png Springwater RobeGain Status Mirror Image.pngMirror Image (2 times)Next one-to-one attack received will be ineffective
    (Effect removed on next all-foe all-ally attack)

  • Ability Wasted Earth.png Lightning StrikeSpear-specialty allies gain Status TripleUp.pngGuaranteed TAGuaranteed triple attack regardless of Triple Attack Lowered debuffs
    Duration: 1 turn     .
    Axe-specialty allies gain Status Adversity.png15% DMG AmplifiedDMG for one-foe attacks and counterattacks is amplified
    Strength: 15%Duration: 3 turns    .     provides a burst of extra power for the whole team, provided your characters have Spear and/or Axe specialties. The skill can be used with a mixed Spear/Axe team, but shines as a way to provide power to single-weapon teams using Ultima/Hollowsky weapons.
    • The Spear effect lends itself to use in teams built around a burst turn, especially those with access to skill resets from summons like Qilin and Aphrodite. Spear teams using Lightning Strike should bring sources of Bonus Damage and Supplemental Damage for maximum effectiveness. (Weapon s 1040211900.jpg Hollowsky Spear, for example, shines for its passive Supplemental Damage when characters are above 80% HP.)
    • The Axe effect provides a strong damage increase on a 50% uptime, but characters with Axe-specialty are relatively rare and few elements can build an all-Axe lineup.
    • Unlike Apsaras' other skills, this skill doesn't require Helmwige or Springwater Robe; as long as the character has both weapon specialties, they will get both effects. That said, besides the MC who automatically qualifies, few characters are applicable for both effects.

Notable Main Weapons

  • Class Champion Weapon Helmwige square.jpg Helmwige - Allows both Spear and Axe effects of Apsaras skills to activate at once, without the need for Ability Springwater Robe.png Springwater RobeGain Status Mirror Image.pngMirror Image (2 times)Next one-to-one attack received will be ineffective

    • Devilry: Also grants Status Bonus Damage.png30% Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks

      Strength: 45%       upon using Swan Song. Because it does not grant a boost to C.A. DMG Cap, much of the increased damage will be lost due to hitting the Damage Cap.
