CLEARANCE::STANDARD

Ashton has twin dragons fused to his back — a misfortune he largely blames on Claude and Rena. By proclaiming he will have the two of them take responsibility for what they have done to him, he has forcibly joined their group.

Gentle at heart, Ashton is often perceived as weak and unreliable. His symbological fencing abilities — passed down from his ancestors — are, however, first class. He was quick to join Precis when he heard of Ernest and Opera's plight. Only time will tell if AShton will regret it......

// tactical_assessment
Ashton is one of the easier characters to learn the combo timing for, allowing for huge chunks of damage to be dealt while stunlocking the enemy. His technique "Leaf Slash" allows him to close the distance rapidly. Ashton also gains access to the create skill "Cooking" sooner than others, allowing for the creation of HP/MP restoration dishes.
Skill Balance Graph
Skill Balance Graph — No one can master every skill in Blue Sphere. The graph gives a visual representation of how many skill points are in each of the four categories: Tec, Int, Btl, or Sen.
