Rating: A-Tier

Overall Tier A

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.

Frontier set DOESNT work with her, it require to gain sp from SKILL, not from combo skill, not ultimate, only from skill, she doesnt work like this, i beg u - update guide

2 Anonymous Anonymous 7 days

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?
