If you’ve been waiting for something fresh in A Universal Time (AUT), Update 6.2 is a pretty exciting one. While it isn’t the biggest update we’ve ever seen, it introduces an entirely new ability, expands the Premium Shop with several sought-after abilities, and includes a handful of balance adjustments and bug fixes that longtime players will definitely notice.
The biggest attraction is easily The Ashura, a combat-focused ability inspired by legendary martial arts. If you enjoy aggressive melee combat instead of relying on flashy ranged attacks, this one is worth checking out.
Here’s everything included in the AUT 6.2 update and what it actually means for players.
AUT Update 6.2 Guide – The Ashura, Codes, Bug Fixes
The headline feature of Update 6.2 is The Ashura, a new Rare Ability centered around martial arts mastery.
Instead of depending on supernatural attacks or long-range abilities, The Ashura focuses on becoming stronger through close combat. The ability is designed around aggressive fighting, chaining attacks together, adapting to opponents, and punishing mistakes with powerful combos.
According to its in-game description, players mastering The Ashura can:
- Chain devastating melee combos
- Counter incoming attacks
- Adapt throughout battles
- Grow stronger through combat
- Domersinate close-range encounters with martial arts techniques
If your preferred playstyle involves staying in your opponent’s face rather than zoning them from a distance, The Ashura fits that role perfectly.
It also feels like a solid option for players who enjoy technical combat rather than simply throwing out abilities whenever they’re off cooldown.
How to Get The Ashura
Obtaining The Ashura isn’t overly complicated, although it does rely on a bit of luck.
Here’s the process:
- Open chests throughout the game.
- Look for the Techniques of The Ashura item.
- The item is classified as Epic rarity.
- Once you obtain it, use it while your character is Standless.
- Your Standless character will transform into The Ashura.
That means you won’t unlock it directly from a quest or NPC. Instead, you’ll first need to find its technique item from chest drops.
Techniques of The Ashura Item
To unlock the new ability, you’ll first need to obtain:
Techniques of The Ashura
Rarity: Epic
Its only purpose is unlocking The Ashura.
Since it comes from chest rewards, expect some RNG before getting your hands on one. Players farming multiple chests will naturally have better odds than casually opening a few each day.
Premium Shop Changes
Update 6.2 also refreshes the Premium Shop with several new abilities.
This gives players additional options without waiting for future rotations.
The newly available items include:
The Ashura (Epic)
The brand-new martial arts ability is now available through the Premium Shop as well.
If you’d rather avoid relying completely on chest luck, this gives another way to access the ability.
Slayer Trainee (Rare)
Slayer Trainee joins the shop as a Rare ability.
While it isn’t the flashiest addition, it’s another welcome option for players looking to expand their collection without depending solely on random drops.
Water Breathing (Epic) – Early Access
Water Breathing is now available in Early Access.
Players purchasing it now get an opportunity to experience the ability before its full public release.
Thunder Breathing (Epic) – Early Access
Another fan-favorite joins Early Access.
Thunder Breathing has been added to the Premium Shop, giving players early access before its wider availability.
Moon Breathing (Legendary) – Early Access
Probably the most eye-catching Premium Shop addition.
Moon Breathing arrives as a Legendary Ability and is currently available through Early Access.
Considering its rarity, it’s likely to become one of the more desirable abilities among collectors and competitive players alike.
Balance Changes
Although Update 6.2 mainly focuses on new content, there are a couple of gameplay adjustments worth mentioning.
Crazy Diamond “Bocchi” Rush Speed Increased
The rush attacks for Crazy Diamond “Bocchi” have been sped up.
This should make its combo pressure feel smoother while allowing players to connect attacks more consistently during combat.
For existing users, the ability should simply feel more responsive than before.
Anubis “Bamboo Hatted Kim” Sound Effects Updated
The developers have updated the sound effects used by Anubis “Bamboo Hatted Kim.”
This isn’t a gameplay buff, but improved audio can make abilities feel much more satisfying during fights.
Skins That Are Now Unobtainable
Several older skins have officially been moved into the Unobtainable rarity.
If you already own them, they’ll likely become even more valuable over time.
The affected skins are:
- Garfield Queen
- Sol: Moyai
- Star Platinum: Gold
- HSTWR
- Killer Queen: Abomination
- Thug Platinum
Players who missed these skins will no longer be able to obtain them through normal methods unless they’re reintroduced during a future event.
Bug Fixes
Only one gameplay bug is listed in the patch notes, but it’s an important one.
Chainsaw Hybrid Soul Mechanic Fixed
A bug allowed Chainsaw Hybrid to improperly use the Reaper/Shinigami soul mechanic.
This interaction wasn’t intended by the developers and has now been fixed.
As a result, Chainsaw Hybrid should now function according to its intended design without inheriting mechanics from unrelated abilities.
Codes
From what Update 6.2 introduces, The Ashura looks like an excellent choice for players who enjoy close-range combat.
Rather than overwhelming opponents with flashy projectiles, it rewards timing, combos, counters, and consistent pressure. That’s a refreshing direction compared to many ability-focused playstyles in AUT.
If you’re already farming chests regularly, it’s definitely worth keeping an eye out for the Techniques of The Ashura item. And if you don’t want to leave things to RNG, the Premium Shop offers another path to unlocking it.
Even beyond The Ashura, the addition of multiple Early Access abilities and several collectible skins becoming unobtainable gives longtime players a few more reasons to log back in and see what’s changed.
