The closest thing the [[Demon Series]] of [[battle armor]] has to a standard, front-line model, the '''Asura''' is a medium-weight design. 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 />
