**Ash** is an SSR ranger who plays as DPS. Fully upgraded, she reaches 685,873 Might, rank 9 of 16 among the game's DPS heroes. Unlocking her takes 10 shards (:item-shard-ash: [[hero-shards|Ash Shard]]), and the shards become available once the :building-ranger-statue: [[building-ranger-statue|Ranger Statue]] reaches level 20.

## Profile
[Hero] Possesses exceptional shooting skills. Acquire her after successful treatment at the clinic.
## Why she matters
**Role:** A ranger DPS who strengthens her own kind, as the passive :skill-ash-4: Focus adds 33% monster damage for two rangers at 50 stars. With no stars and no skill levels the bonus is 12.3%, and it goes to the two highest-attack rangers in the squad, so Ash pays off specifically in a ranger line-up. Her own blow, :skill-ash-2: Eagle Spirit Hunt, lands 2,798.4% of ATK on a single target.
**Worth investing:** Ash ranks ninth of sixteen DPS heroes by maximum Might (685,873) and sits in tier B. She belongs to the best ranger squad built without UR heroes, so early investment pays off, and once Cynthia or Red Lady opens up the place in the first five goes to them.

## Progression
### Hero levels
The hero has 150 levels, and reaching the last one costs :res-antidote: Antitoxin 5,248,471,500. The table shows the stats at reference levels:
| Level | HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1,532 | 23 | 15 |
| 50 | 53,391 | 814 | 540 |
| 100 | 314,150 | 4,803 | 3,184 |
| 150 | 747,948 | 11,431 | 7,579 |
### Stars
Reaching 50 stars takes 975 shards (:item-shard-ash: [[hero-shards|Ash Shard]]). Besides stats, stars unlock stronger versions of the skills, which makes them matter more than levels:
| Stars | HP | ATK | DEF | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 25,898 | 394 | 261 | 3 |
| 25 | 76,530 | 1,168 | 774 | 8 |
| 40 | 148,918 | 2,278 | 1,510 | 35 |
| 50 | 213,663 | 3,264 | 2,164 | 60 |
### Skill levels
Every skill goes up to level 40 with :item-skill-badge: [[skill-badges|Skill Badge]]: one skill costs 436,700 of them. The higher the level, the more hero stars it requires:
| Skill level | Stars | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 20 | 300 |
| 10 | 30 | 1,200 |
| 20 | 40 | 6,900 |
| 30 | 50 | 18,400 |
| 40 | 50 | 33,400 |

| **Total** | **961,611** | **14,695** | **9,744** |
## How to play
Ash carries 685,873 Might, ninth of sixteen and 80 ahead of Bestar. Eagle Spirit Hunt lands 2,798.4% on a single target, the largest ultimate among the SSR heroes of the role, where Claire manages 2,266.29% and Grenwald 2,044.65%. Area damage is what she lacks in return, and One Stone Two Birds strikes two random targets.
SSR heroes carry no server age condition, so Ash is available from day one. She holds her place while the UR rangers are out of reach: Cynthia arrives on server day 7 and Red Lady on day 35. The passive Focus strengthens the two rangers with the highest ATK, so part of its value is lost in a mixed line-up.
Her ceiling rests on levels and stars alone, as SSR heroes get neither awakening nor a weapon: 961,611 HP and 14,695 ATK, of which stars give 213,663 and 3,264. Focus stands at 24% until the twentieth star, and from there three steps of 3% at the twentieth, forty-fifth and fiftieth star carry it to 33%.
In a squad without UR heroes Ash stands with Stellar, Griffith, Grenwald and Hastar: 7.7M survivability and 1 effectiveness at a +10% bonus. She is more useful alongside Griffith, Bestar, Hastar and Louis: the warlock Hastar does not stop the four rangers from earning a +15% bonus, and the five reach 16.8M of survivability and 5 effectiveness.
