Akekuri

A

early game support

supportsp_generator
Akekuri is an A-tier support Vanguard who excels at generating SP for the team through her Combo Skill and Ultimate. She can apply Heat Infliction and provide Link to boost the next skill or ultimate damage. While her personal damage is low, her ability to sustain team energy and buff overall damage makes her a valuable addition to SP-hungry teams.
This early game build prioritizes rapid Ultimate access to spam SP recovery and team buffs. The Catastrophe set provides immediate SP at battle start, while Thermite Cutter (free from the beginner weapon supply) offers a team ATK buff. Focus on Ultimate Gain Efficiency and Intellect stats to maximize early performance.

Insights

Core Mechanics

  • Generates SP via Flash and Dash (Combo Skill) after staggering an enemy.
  • Ultimate SQUAD! ON ME! fires 3 flares, each recovering SP for the party.
  • Applies Heat Infliction with Burst of Passion.
  • Unlock Talent Staying in the Zone to grant Link during Ultimate, boosting next skill/ultimate damage.

Scaling

  • Scales well with Intellect for increased SP recovery from Cheer of Victory talent.
  • Early game relies on base SP generation; endgame gear like Frontiers set and Thermite Cutter amplify teamwide ATK buffs.
  • Becomes more valuable in late-game teams that require high SP uptime.

Team Role

Akekuri serves as a dedicated SP battery and team damage buffer. She is best placed in teams that need frequent skill usage, such as those with high-cost ultimates or combo-oriented characters. Her Link buff and potential ATK increase from Thermite Cutter benefit any damage dealer. She excels in Heat or Electric compositions when using OBJ Edge of Lightness.

Miner Fists and Catastrophe Filter pieces are easily obtained early and further boost Ultimate Gain Efficiency.

Notes

  • Early game build focuses on getting Ultimate online quickly.
  • Thermite Cutter is free from New Horizons Weapon Supply and still provides team ATK buff.
