Akekuri
Aendgame support
support sp_generator buffer
Akekuri is a Heat Vanguard who excels at restoring SP for the entire party through her Combo Skill and Ultimate, making her a valuable support in any team. She also applies Heat Infliction and provides a Link buff to amplify the next skill or ultimate. While her personal damage is low, her SP generation and team utility keep her at A-tier.
This endgame support build capitalizes on Akekuri’s SP generation tools to continuously trigger the Frontiers set’s team DMG buff and the Thermite Cutter’s ATK boost. High Intellect from gear enhances her Combo Skill SP recovery through the Cheer of Victory talent. The off-piece gloves improve Ultimate Gain Efficiency, enabling more frequent Rallying Flares. Overall, she becomes an SP battery that also passively increases the entire party’s damage output.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Generates SP for the team with Flash and Dash (Combo Skill) upon staggering enemies, and with SQUAD! ON ME! (Ultimate) that fires rallying flares.
- Applies Heat Infliction via Burst of Passion (Battle Skill).
- Provides Link buff when Ultimate is active (talent Staying in the Zone), increasing damage of the next Battle Skill or Ultimate used by teammates.
Scaling
- SP recovery from Flash and Dash scales with Intellect (Cheer of Victory talent), gaining up to 50% extra SP recovery at max Intellect.
- Early on, she provides reliable SP generation without heavy investment; later, investing in Intellect and unlocking Link buff boosts her utility significantly.
- Her effectiveness as a support is largely independent of gear refinement, but higher Intellect and cooldown reduction improve her rotation.
Team Role
Akekuri acts as a dedicated SP battery and offensive buffer. She fits into almost any team composition that needs energy regeneration, particularly those with high-cost ultimates or skill-spam playstyles. Her Heat Infliction can enable elemental reactions, and the Link buff synergizes with burst-oriented carries. Position her as an off-field support, triggering her Combo Skill by switching to her to capitalize on enemy staggers, then swapping back to the main DPS. She pairs well with characters who can quickly stagger enemies, maximizing her Combo Skill uptime.

Explanation
Thermite Cutter is chosen because its Flow essence grants a team ATK buff whenever Akekuri restores SP, stacking with her support nature. The other essences boost her personal ATK and Will, but the team buff is the key.
OBJ Edge of Lightness is a strong alternative when focusing on Heat or Electric damage, as it further increases those damage types for the team after SP recovery.
Fortmaker offers utility with Ultimate Gain Efficiency and Intellect, making it a decent choice if you need even faster Ultimate rotation but lack the team-wide ATK buff from the top weapons.
Notes
- The Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill cooldown by 15% and gives a party-wide DMG buff after SP recovery, perfectly aligning with Akekuri's role.
- Off-piece Eternal Xiranite Gloves T1 accelerate Ultimate charging, ensuring more frequent SP bursts.
