Passive: Slash procs inflicted by Ash’s weapons and abilities deal 25% more damage and last 50% longer.
Shuriken - Launches a spinning blade of pain, dealing high damage and impaling enemies to walls.
Smoke Screen - Drops a smoke bomb that stuns enemies and obscures their vision, rendering Ash invisible for a short time.
Teleport - Ash teleports towards the target, bringing him into melee range and making enemies vulnerable to finishers.
Blade Storm - Project fierce shadow clones of Ash upon groups of distant enemies. Join the fray using Teleport.

Ash is actually my favorite out of all the stealth frames, I like how offensive his kit is. I do kinda miss when Blade Storm was just a tap-and-done ability, but I do admit it was a little bit cheesy. At least you don’t have to mark each target 3 times anymore! It’s also criminal that instead of making Ash’s Teleport usable on the ground, like it always should’ve been, they just gave that ability to Kullervo instead! At least you can steal it from him with Helminth.
