Don’t think simply because she is a Starter character that Asta, the Lead Researcher of Herta Space Station, can’t become a formidable unit. I would even venture to call her overpowered. Want to take a deep dive into her kit? Here is all the information you need to figure out how Asta from Honkai: Star Rail ticks.
Asta’s Skills in Honkai Star Rail
Basic Attack: Spectrum Beam
Deals Fire damage equal to a scaling percentage if Asta’s attack to a single enemy.
Skill: Meteor Storm

Asta’s Eidolons in Honkai Star Rail
While you’ll receive Asta for free at the beginning of the game, her Eidolons can only be obtained in one of two ways. After obtaining her as a E6 character, I can report that its worth the effort.
She can be pulled in the Gacha system, or, occasionally, you can purchase her Eidolons in the Starlight Exchange. Character Eidolons rotate monthly in the shop. They cost 140 Undying Starlight to purchase. Undying Starlight is obtained over time by obtaining four-star and above items in the Gacha Pool.
E1 (Star Sings Sans Verses or Vocals)
When using Skill, deals damage for one extra time to a random enemy.
E2 (Moon Speaks in Wax and Wane)
After using her Ultimate, Asta’s Charging stacks will not be reduced in the next turn.
