Daskal
A dominant frontline tempo controller who wins fights by denial, not damage. Daskal's DEF-scaling team shield, battle-start damage reduction, and built-in sustain through Deadly Pierce make him the most resilient UR tank in Last Asylum: Plague — enabling his entire team to outlast any burst composition.
Skills

Skill 1
Battle Will
Slashes the target, dealing 622.5% ATK Physical DMG to a single enemy.
👉 Role: Sustained single-target DPS filler
• At max stars reaches an effective ~1,867% ATK — respectable for a tank
• Upgrade last: Daskal's win condition is survival, not raw damage output
👉 Best for: Finishing weakened enemies during extended fights

Skill 2
Bloodshed Defense
Concentrates energy to grant every ally a shield equal to 570.0% of their max DEF, absorbing 50% of incoming damage for 5s.
👉 Role: Primary team survival tool — upgrade this first
• Scales off DEF, not HP or ATK; build DEF to exponentially increase shield value
• 50% damage absorption makes incoming burst effectively halved for 5 full seconds
• At max stars shield effect reaches 660% DEF — a wall every 5.85s
• Pair with Resolute Fight passive for back-to-back shield coverage at fight start

Skill 3
Deadly Pierce
Stabs the target with a two-handed sword, dealing 770.0% ATK Physical DMG and restoring HP equal to 400.0% ATK.
👉 Role: Daskal's personal sustain engine
• Base heal is 400% ATK — at max stars it reaches 1,600% ATK recovery per cast
• 4.55s cooldown means near-continuous healing during prolonged fights
• Makes Daskal extremely hard to kill through sustained damage — doesn't rely on team healers
👉 Best for: Long attrition fights and any mode where the enemy delays burst

Skill 4
Resolute Fight
At the start of the battle, grants all allied tank heroes a shield equal to 18.75% of their max HP, absorbing 50% of incoming damage for 5s.
👉 Role: Battle-start insurance — triggers before the first hit lands
• 50% damage absorption during the opening 5–7 seconds neutralises enemy burst openers
• When overlapping with Bloodshed Defense, tanks are effectively immune to burst for extended windows
• At max stars: shield extends to 7s and effect increases by 50% total
• Priority #2 to upgrade — early survival dictates fight tempo

Skill 5
Tenacity
ATK, HP, and DEF +20%; skill cooldown speed +10%.
• Shared with Shadow and Marlena — one of the strongest support skills in the game
• +20% DEF directly inflates Bloodshed Defense shield value even further
• +10% cooldown speed tightens the Bloodshed Defense cycle, more shields per fight
• Once unlocked, Daskal transitions from strong tank to near-unkillable team anchor

Verdict
👉 Daskal is a tempo-controller, not a damage dealer. His double damage-reduction windows — Resolute Fight at battle start and Bloodshed Defense every 5.85s — make him one of the strongest tanks in the game once properly invested. Build DEF as your primary stat, unlock Tenacity at Lv.30, and pair him with high-burst DPS heroes who need time to ramp up. The strategy is simple: survive → shield again → sustain → win.
