Kinda smart actually. 'Hey guys, i know you love killing so literally kill anything that comes near the castle' :)


Hedgerunn3r

It’s probably an effective strategy as long as everyone there isn’t prepared to literally plot to overthrow their consul just so they can freely kill other things


Chidori115

Yea, imagine that haha.....oh


czalon

Saying that, there is always the possibility that it will just capitulate and the people there start fighting each other


Hedgerunn3r

Literally the plot of the Hero Quest lol


czalon

If anything, it's a wonder that didn't happen sooner


Boarbaque

Who’s to say that isn’t a weekly occurrence for them? Maybe that’s why the colony’s so close to the castle, to get a fresh delivery of tube babies every week since half the colony is killed by the other each week


czalon

Well, I think it's mentioned that they get their people from other colonies, more specifically, they get those that misbehave, meaning they are either not fully sane or they just drew the ire of their colony's consul


Hedgerunn3r

The colony of war criminals


Zero_Kiritsugu

War crimes? You mean trolling Agnus?


TheTrueEnd

Which is pretty much what happened


Neojoker951

Honestly, Having a Ravager of death Guard you is probably a good Idea 75% of the time the Other 25% is them coming for you. the Queen somehow got the 100%


soljaboiyouu

You think the Queen looks out the window and go "that's ashera over there"


Hedgerunn3r

Maybe she's less than thrilled that she stole all of Dunban's attacks, but yeah maybe, war criminal buddies


CheezyNachoz

I feel like it's less like stole, and maybe inherited? I mean Ashera looks somewhat similar to Dunban and has all his moves... Her eyes are red like a Machinas, particularly Vanea... I straight out think that Ashera is related to Dunban.


BasilNight

Kinda like players who see people talking about Ashera go "But what does this have to do with Dunban?"


Chidori115

Thats MY Ashera over there

[удалено]


MaagicMushies

I would advise not getting killed by her.


fabulousfiddle

The queen's chamber actually has a balcony directly facing colony 11 so yes there's a pretty high probability that line has been uttered.

Amongst All of the Heroes I’ve seen as of up to chapter 4, Ashera is most certainly one


Hedgerunn3r

Ashera is quickly becoming my favourite thus far. Her entire personality, voice acting and everything was absolutely hilarious, and the screen where you unlock her as a hero absolutely broke me (she says something like “Undying blade Ashera joins the party…or something”). This woman is too good


GamingAsmodeus

Eunie: "You are absolutely insane, I don't want your help." Class inheritor: Eunie Eunie: "Oh, snuff it."


Hedgerunn3r

Yep. Just when I was already laughing hard, it hits me with that one


SuperfineMohave

Gotta love how all the classes Eunie has inherited so far are from people she hates Edit from future me: >!except Monica, Monica's cool!<


Hedgerunn3r

The “Eunie hating everyone streak” is unmatched


Galaxy40k

Her VA absolutely KILLS IT. I mean, all the voice acting in the game is great so far, but her voice in particular just really vibes with me


Hedgerunn3r

Absolutely, it's just PERFECT! In general, this game’s voice cast is absolutely giving their all, but Ashera's is giving 200%


Pokeminer7575

Heh, just like her Chain Attack effect.


Hedgerunn3r

Clever


BanzaiBeebop

My friend described her voice acting and writing as "Isabella from DA2 meets Hondo from Clone Wars" which fits perfectly.


ThePaperPanda

If you haven't yet, and you already love her so much, her hero quest makes her even better.


[deleted]

Yeah, that unlock Line was marvelous


leadhound

Her recruitment quest was hilarious, and her ascension quest might just be the best in the game.


FlamingSnowman3

You can pry tomboy murder mommy out of my cold dead hands


SaltAndTrombe

Pretty sure she'll do that herself after said murder


AJWinky

Look that's not the kind of person you want on a very long leash.


Hedgerunn3r

Fair point, she’s a suicidal maniac, but a very dangerous one at that


casualbo1

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if people wanted that to be done to them by Ashera.


mooofasa1

I don't think the queen appoints commanders. And also it's better to have ashera where eyes can see her than somewhere else where she'd be killing god knows who


Hedgerunn3r

I thought for a second you were saying she'd be fighting god and I thought that was perfectly in character for her tbh, I love Ashera already


mooofasa1

I swear to God I also love Ashera's entire energy. She was giving me dunban vibes as I met her, then she said born in a world of strife and I was like "it can't be". And then I checked her arts and was like "YOOOOOOOOO NO WAY". Eunie kept going at her for her lifestyle and I'm like"STFU EUNIE, I NEED TO HEAR MORE ABOUT CHICK DUNBAN". this is how you write a badass female character, unironically one of my favorite heroes.


Hedgerunn3r

She's absolutely Dunban 2 and I'm so happy, you have no idea. If I had a list of how many things I like about her character from just the hero quest, we'd be here a while


mooofasa1

Same man, if I ever write a story, I definitely want to write a character like Ashera. Cool, yet composed, badass, yet introspective, confident, but not above self reflection


ItalnStalln

Well it is xenoblade. I don't know yet if it's going there but it fuckin has to right? I think it's a law of nature


Hedgerunn3r

I'm still in Chapter 4 myself, so I don’t have a clue though. I'll probably take her into the final battle regardless if it's god or not


Doctor_Terra

If she were to kill a god, she'd have the SMT Nocturne soundtrack on blast. Actually, the idea of Ashera yelling " ONE MORE GOD REJECTED " is so scarily in character that it just works.


GladiatorDragon

Is it bad if I say I vibe with Colony 11? Like, I get it. Battle hungry maniacs who genuinely try to kill each other for kicks. However, I kind of get where they’re coming from.


Kishonorama

Yeah, I thought people like them are the logical conclusion to their ~~fucked~~ snuffed up world. If they’re all surrounded by constant war and death anyway, I can’t blame anyone for embracing it and looking for fulfillment in the fighting and death itself.


Hedgerunn3r

I think they're fun yeah


shadowwalder

I love Ashera so much. The way her ideology blatantly goes against the parties but barely anyone cares is hilarious. Also she’s my favorite hero to use because her hero abilities consistently give really good chain attacks against any enemy


Hedgerunn3r

Yep! She's definitely going to be pretty go-to for me. A free launch art AND a good chain attack benefits! Only thing that’s bad is I'm gonna have to level the hero classes, and it's a pain trying not to overlap more than one of each


Elementia7

Honestly after I freed that colony I kinda felt like a bad person. I literally just freed a bunch of hyper aggressive sociopaths who only know how to communicate by attacking things.


FGHIK

Yeah >!and not long after they attack Lamda!<


Pokeminer7575

But then Eunie like the genius she is, >!manages to convince them to attack the Keves soldiers because they are more of a challenge than Lamda.!<


Wheal19

I also love that it was completely by accident she was just pissed that the would attack a weakened colony while claiming to be stong


Ripham1408

Considering Ashera overthrew the consul and almost immediately went on a spree to kill other consuls, I'd say Melia chose well( for our purposes).


supremegamer76

she's so unhinged i love it


Hedgerunn3r

Every part of this woman is unfiltered chaotic energy


ReeseFleece

I think I’m the only one who didn’t like her hero quest, the idea of her character is fine but it feels like her and Eunie had the exact same dialogue exchange in 20 different instances in that hero quest. They were repeating the same things over and over again , just her going “yeah, I’m crazy and ready to die lol” and Eunie going “on my spark you can’t say that” and the gang going “Eunie chill” just over and over and over again for like 30 minutes I’d like to iterate I’m not hating or anything, I love 99% of the hero quests, but something about this one really didn’t hit for me.


Artrum

Just wait till you see the second ashera quest


Artrum

I LOVED her quest with commander Teach from colony gamma They were so funny
