Asashio is a character from the game Azur Lane, a destroyer belonging to the Sakura Empire and the lead ship of the Asashio-class. In the game, she is portrayed as a quiet and gentle character, but deep down, she longs for her sister ship, Arashio, who sank alongside her in the 'Tragedy of Dampier Strait'. Her desire to reunite with Arashio is evident in her dialogues and storylines. Asashio possesses skills that enhance Asashio-class ships within her fleet, while also having an advantage against enemy destroyers. Her skill 'Eighth Destroyer Division' increases the firepower, reload, and torpedo stats of Asashio, Oshio, Michishio, and Arashio within the same fleet. Her 'Anti-Destroyer Tactics' skill increases her accuracy against destroyers and reduces the torpedo damage she takes from them. For equipment, recommended items include the 127mm Twin Dual-Purpose Gun MK12T3 as her main gun, the 533mm Quintuple Torpedo Mount T3 for torpedoes, the 113mm Twin High-Angle Gun T3 for anti-air, and the Emergency Repair Kit T3 and Type 93 Pure Oxygen Torpedo T3 as equipment. Asashio is an R (Rare) character, drawn by artist Alic, and obtainable through construction or drops. Overall, Asashio is a destroyer character with some supportive capabilities and anti-destroyer capabilities, suitable for commanders who enjoy collecting and raising Sakura Empire ships.
