The [[Word of Blake]] battlesuit is named for [[w:Asura|demons]] of Hindu lore and is overwhelmingly fielded by [[Manei Domini]] troops whose cybernetic enhancements make them even more powerful.<ref name=TRO20>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 20</ref> Compared to the [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Clan Elemental]] the Asura is not as well armored, although its 280kg of advanced armor can withstand a hit from a Clan [[ER Medium Laser]]. The Asura does not have any enhancements to a standard trooper's ground speed but carries [[jump jet]]s to leap ninety meters at a time, matching the Elemental in terms of speed, and its weaponry has a longer reach. While only ever fielded in significant numbers by the Manei Domini, unconfirmed rumors from the [[Terra]]n resistance movement claims that regular [[Word of Blake Militia|Militia]] units also used these suit, though if true these were most likely discarded testbed models reportedly prone to glitching.<ref name=TRO20 /> ==Weapons and Equipment== The Asura's weapon profile is similar in some ways to the Elemental, but is also enhanced. A [[Medium Recoilless Rifle (Battle Armor)|Medium Recoilless Rifle]] mounted in the right arm serves as its main weapon and has greater range than the Elemental's equivalent. Similarly, a [[Rocket Launcher 4]] does the same damage as an Elemental's missile complement, but also at greater range. The left arm's [[Battle Claw]] allows the Asura to ride [[OmniMech]]s and engage in anti-'Mech attacks.<ref name=TRO>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 20-21</ref> ==Variants== *;Anti-Infantry : Like the others in the Demon series, the Asura features an anti-[[infantry]] variant designed for maximum effectiveness in rooting out disorganized resistance to Blakist rule.
