I see with my entire body...
...so no matter where you attack me, I will know you're coming.

The Slayer abandoned his own eyes in order to awaken the waves. Commissioned by the Shonan craftsmen, they were able to compensate these blind warriors by crafting the Plate Armor. By doing so, the blinded warrior's efficiently would be useless, as well as losing one of their five senses. The good side to this however, is that their armor helps detect the flow of enemies surrounding him, easily able to identify the enemy. G.S.D. where he rests in the Hendon Myre Alley, is able to transfer this great flow of energy to emit powerful waves. The only thing to sew the Asura on the battlefield is showing the path to go forward.

They will leave no regrets to lose their sight from their selected route, which shall show them a determined will down the road.


The Asura is a Slayer who strikes a chilling bargain with the demon Khazan.png Kazan and sacrifices his eyes to attain great power. Though blind, the Asura can master magical attacks and defensive techniques, and sharpen skills that utilize waves and long-range weapons. A few of his most iconic skills are Ghost Orb.png Ghost Orb, Spirit Crescent.png Spirit Crescent, and Agni Pentacle.png Agni Pentacle.


  • At level 50, the Asura awakens as the Silent Eye. At level 75, the Silent Eye awakens as an Indra.
  • His subclass cosmetic effect is a blindfold over his eyes, identical to that worn by G.S.D.
  • His 2nd Awakening cosmetic effect is electricity surging from his torso, with glowing blue ancient writing on his left arm.
  • His Neo Awakening cosmetic effect has him enter into a stance and forms a sword of arcing blue lightning in his left arm.

Becoming an Asura

The Slayer must choose the Asura advancement upon character creation.

Alternatively, if the player is still in it's base class:
The Slayer must click the Advance button on the skill window.


Awakening as a Silent Eye

Let me read to you from the Book of Dark Visions, Chapter of Shadows. Within these lines you will know the epic of the Silent Eye.

“The earth quivers, yet my heart is filled with peace. Though my eyes have been cast into eternal darkness, I sense all things, seeing beyond the deception that the eyes can bring. Countless years of training in darkness has paved the way for a true kinship with the world of shadows.

I stand fast on the trembling earth, beneath the thick black skies. I reach stretch my senses out into my surroundings, and I feel the fear of those who surround me, their swords unsheathed and directed upon me. Beyond them I can sense my lost eyes. My eyes, embroidered into the dark boundless skies, have been there since the beginning. Yes, my precious Wave Eyes...keeping guardian watch over me. Their constant gaze will help me realize the power of waves.”


The Asura must first reach level 50.

  5. Collect 10 Seal of Emperor Helm.png Seals of Emperor Helm.

Awakening as an Indra

Slash the ghosts and challenge the gods.

Lightning splits the sky and the rage trembles across the land.

My blind eyes shall be in endless darkness.

But why does it emit such a bright light?

An energy that rises from the stalwart body splits the sky and each breath shakes the land.

The energy reaches a thousand miles,

and the wind spreads the sound of fear to the ends of the world.

— Wave Arcanum. Chapter of Thunder (Transcribed)


The Silent Eye must first reach level 75.

Awakening as a Neo: Asura

You who have been enlightened with the mind’s eye in the wave of darkness.
You who brought forth the thunder god with the wave of lightning.

You are now worthy,
Open your true eyes.

And so will you awaken the wave vision,
You will see the flow of waves in all things.

You will see what you wish to see
You will feel what you wish to feel.
Nothing will be unrealized
See through the nature of all things you see.

And so wherever the wave flows,
So shall your powers reach.
It is worthy of being called an authority.
