Astra, also known as the Nova Visionary is a mountain fox who relies on the power of the stars and galaxies to defeat her foes. Designed from the ground-up being easy to access hard to master, is a light and fast trap-setter type character with multiple playstyles in mind.

"Do you see the beauty in the stars? I wish to keep them. I wonder what it is happening down below, all my readings say a terrible future is about to come, should I help her?"

With the power of stars in her hands, this Nova Visionary uses her tarot cards to create destinies from the guiding stars! Beware of her 3 cards - Solar, Stardust and Nebula. All three can be used to both cast spells and create traps to turn the tide of the battle. As a defender of the Archai Mountains, she will not hesitate to move to protect her home.

  • Stardust (Star) - Procures multiple small bursts of stars to keep enemies at bay
  • Nebula (Galaxy) - Procures a negative space or black hole to hold enemies in place near her grasp

The cards can be used as Spells (Forward Special) or Traps (Down Special)

Author's Message:

After such a long time working on Astra, I am so happy to finally release her. After 5 gruelling months ever since she was started on July, and announced on August 26th (https://twitter.com/WishdreamStar/status/1165745047767093248) and after 3 complete revisions, she is finally done.

I worked so hard to finish her, making her fun and exciting to play as well as fun to discover what she has underneath.
I hope you all enjoy her and how she plays. She may be rough around the edges here and there but I hope we can work together to fix all of that.

I have been playing this character on-and-off for like, more than two years at this point. I've learned the weird movement tech, the distances that cards are shot by moves, and everything in-between. For me personally, Astra is one of the best characters I've ever had the joy of playing as, not just in this RoA Workshop community, but across any game. Thank you for making this character, Wishdream. :fhappy:

TL;DR I played and enjoyed this character so much that I wrote a 5k word essay on why she's "Peak Workshop", and it's only half joke-y. You can probably find it somewhere in a certain RoA Workshop Swiss bracket's discord. :cf_pakumen:
