Best Light Cones
Best Light Cone: Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds
Upon entering battle or taking action, this Light Cone grants all allies a boost to ATK, CRIT DMG, or Energy Regeneration Rate, which synergizes well with Asta’s own ability to boost teammates' damage.
Alternate Option: Planetary Rendezvous
This Light Cone, while niche, can be extremely powerful. When the users enters a battle where all allies deal the same DMG Type as the wearer, DMG dealt increases by 12%. Asta can make especially good use of this due to her Ignite Bonus Skill, which increases all allies' Fire DMG, making her extremely powerful on anall-Fire DMG team.

Best Teammates
As mentioned above, Asta thrives on anall-Fire DMG teamdue to her Bonus Skill, though this is not always viable due to the foe’s weaknesses. Nonetheless, she appreciates teammates such asHimekoand Hook for increased firepower. While Asta is far from the frailest character there is, you should provide her with shielding or healing to allow her to keep up the damage.
