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.
endgame support late_gamesp_batteryteam_buffercooldown_reduction
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.

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.
early game support beginnerf2penergy_generation
This early setup focuses on getting Akekuri’s SP generation online as quickly as possible. The Catastrophe set’s Ultimate Gain Efficiency and initial SP let her fire off her ultimate early in combat, providing an immediate team SP injection. Combined with the Thermite Cutter’s team ATK buff, she can already amplify the party’s damage from the start of the game.

Explanation
Thermite Cutter is still the top choice because its Flow essence directly supports the team whenever Akekuri restores SP, which she can do even without late-game cooldown reduction.
The Catastrophe set is ideal when first building Akekuri—it lets her reach her Ultimate faster and provides an initial SP boost, smoothing out her rotation before you acquire better gear.
Notes
- The Catastrophe set provides 20% Ultimate Gain Efficiency and 50 SP at the start of battle, helping Akekuri use SQUAD! ON ME! sooner.
- Even with early gear, Thermite Cutter remains the best weapon due to its team ATK buff on SP recovery.
Build Insights
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.
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.
Character Notes
Akekuri is a supportive Heat Vanguard who specializes in generating SP for the entire team. Her kit revolves around restoring energy through her Combo Skill when enemies are staggered and through her Ultimate, which also grants a Link buff to boost the next skill or ultimate used by allies. She is not a primary damage dealer, but her ability to keep the party’s skills and ultimates flowing makes her a versatile addition to most teams.
Playstyle
- Use Burst of Passion to apply Heat Infliction to key targets.
- Switch to Akekuri when an enemy is about to be staggered to activate Flash and Dash and recover SP.
- Cast SQUAD! ON ME! often to provide SP to the team and apply Link.
- Position her safely; she doesn’t need to be on-field constantly, only for stagger windows.
- Focus on Intellect to maximize SP recovery from her talent.
Strengths
- Excellent SP generation for the entire team.
- Applies team-wide ATK buff through weapon and gear set synergy.
- Provides Link buff to amplify a teammate’s burst window.
- Easy to trigger Combo Skill via staggers.
- Fits into many team compositions due to energy support.
Weaknesses
- Low personal damage output.
- Requires enemies to be staggered for optimal SP recovery.
- Ultimate's SP recovery is spread over time, not instant.
- Less effective if the team does not benefit from SP or ATK buffs.
