Hey, great, helpful post, Sinestral. Arming anyone who reads it with good knowledge.

But I have to ask anyone able to speak to it, what's the 'meta' draw of AST in FL?

In my mind its greatest strengths seem to be on demand heavy/bind and its relative ease of getting assists due to Macrocosmos' range.

But, its cards and LB, while stronger than for the expected 5 players in CC, is hampered just by how many more players there are to contend with, not to mention how infrequently you can expect your team to be together in many circumstances, even before considering distances between your ranged and your diving melee jobs.

What an I missing? Is it just that River /cards and Macro are a larger force multiplier for your couple DRGs Skyshattering and eventually with battle highs?

I haven't played FL much recently and I feel like I haven't seen too many ASTs in general there before.
