Eyes of Truth Sarka: ASTRA Knights of Veda Character Guide #9

Steamroll ASTRA Knights of Veda PvE mode with Eyes of Truth Sarka! High attack, continuous area lightning damage, and a mobile character.

Introduction

Eyes of Truth Sarka is a lightning attribute, long-range damage dealer who utilizes a large bow. Unleashing rains of arrows, he can inflict immense damage from safety. When Sarka unleashes his normal skill, [Thunder Strike], he launches towards his enemies and delivers an electrifying blow, granting him the [Thunderstorm Arrow] effect, allowing him to strike down lightning at his enemies from afar. His signature skill, [Thunderbolt Strike] pushes away nearby enemies, delivering potent damage in a straight line, annhiliating foes.

“Never forget! The Arrow of Truth even hits hidden targets!”

He was once a respected warrior of the Batar, but now his whereabouts are known to only a few. This is due to an unfortunate incident that led his father, Shikh, to banish him from the Vulcan Kingdom. Sarka, who journeyed the world in search of the true nature behind his power, hears the devastating news that his homeland, Vulcan, has been destroyed and his younger sister and father are missing.

Character Review

Blessed with a high base attack stat and continuous area-of-effect lightning damage from his normal skill [Thunder Strike], Sarka shreds through enemies with ease. His signature move, [Thunderbolt Strike], is a testament of offensive capabilities. This low-cost (160 Veda Energy) ability delivers a devastating one-two punch: it first knocks back nearby foes and creates a lingering electric field, followed by a powerful linear attack. It's a great move if you find yourself in a pinch and need to make some room for yourself to recuperate.

If you're able to use his dodge skill, [Strategic Withdrawal] properly, Sarka will not only evades attacks but also gains a movement speed buff. This mobility allows him to maintain a safe distance from bosses while peppering them with ranged attacks. Sarka excels in diverse combat scenarios, effectively clearing waves of weaker enemies with his area attacks and inflicting significant damage on enemy bosses.
