Asura is a Guardian from Sonic Frontiers. It appears on the first island, Kronos Island.

Overview

Asura is a gigantic, bipedal being, with three colossal arms used to defend itself. In order to defeat it, Sonic must climb its arms by using the blue rings it generates to dash up them, then attack the spires atop each of its appendages. After each spire has taken enough damage, the arm will break off, and Sonic will be forced to attack another arm instead. After one hit, Asura will increase its defenses by generating red rings that block Sonic along with the blue rings. It will also generate a laser field around the spires.

After each of its arms has been destroyed, Asura will go down. It drops a Portal Gear upon defeat.

Name Origin

Asura is named after Asuras, a race of beings in Indic religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. They are described as titans or demigods, with superhuman abilities, who are in a constant battle with the Devas. They are usually depicted as having either good or bad qualities, although in some texts they are described as being an enemy of the gods.
