Shathra's Mechanics

Shathra’s gameplay centers around her Astral Eggs and Astral Wasps. She collects Astral Eggs using light and medium attacks and Special Attack 1. These eggs hatch into Astral Wasps when she uses any special attack.

Her Astral Wasps are crucial for her strategy. They can be sacrificed for power steal, which helps her build up to Special Attack 2 for heavy damage. Destroying Wasps also creates vulnerability passives, boosting her damage output. Additionally, Special Attack 3 provides a long stun and heals 10% of her missing health, including recovery from energy damage.
