Astesia swings melee attacks that deal Arts damage instead of physical, which already sets her apart from most Guards. Her skills keep both her attack and defense buffed for most of the fight, and once Astral Sword is up she can block and hit multiple enemies at once instead of just one.

She costs more DP than you'd expect and only holds a single enemy without that skill running.
