♦ Brief Introduction about Harumasa ♦
Asaba Harumasa is an S-rank agent specializing in Electric Attack abilities. Harumasa's weapon has two forms: bow and blade.
He can weave back and forth on the battlefield, launching unexpected attacks. As for his Special Attack, Harumasa can leap up, shooting arrows at enemies mid-air to deal Electric damage. By utilizing his EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, and other skills, Harumasa can generate traps called Electro Quivers. And when he has enough Energy, he can launch an EX Special Attack and daggers ahead alongside an enhanced arrow. This will also generate Electro Quivers.
While there are Electro Quivers on the field, holding Special Attack or Basic Attack can trigger them and have them attack and apply X-Marked to them enemies. While any X-Marked enemies are present, Harumasa enters the Awakened state. In this state, Harumasa can use his Dash Attack to rapidly close in on enemies and unleash a powerful slash.
