Akekuri is a Heat Vanguard character that generates SP through her Combo Skill and Ultimate. Thanks to this, she can fit in any team to help out their SP economy. Her Combo Skill triggers just from staggering the enemy, and this makes it easy for her to restore SP.
She can also apply Heat Infliction and provide Link, which increases the damage of the next Battle Skill or Ultimate used by the team. Overall, she is mostly used for SP generation when the team lacks it.

Thermite Cutter is the best Weapon for Akekuri since it can provide a party-wide ATK buff after she restores SP, which can be helpful for most teams. OBJ Edge of Lightness is an effective alternative when Akekuri is being used in Heat or Electric-centric teams.
Fortmaker is decent for its Intellect and Ultimate Gain Boost, which Akekuri can use to access her Ultimate sooner.

My guess is that if her ult does scale with an ult damage stat, she probably would have benefited more with that armor because of the gloves' trait for faster charging of the ultimate. Is there any way to clarify if it really does scale?
