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.

The endgame support build maximizes Akekuri's role as an SP battery and team buffer. Thermite Cutter provides a consistent party-wide ATK increase, while the Frontiers set grants a team damage buff and reduces Combo Skill cooldown.

Explanation
Thermite Cutter is the top choice because its Flow essence gives a party ATK buff when Akekuri recovers SP, stacking up to two times.
Frontiers gear set synergizes perfectly: the 4-piece bonus grants DMG +16% for 15s after SP recovery, and the set pieces provide Ultimate Gain Efficiency and secondary stats.
OBJ Edge of Lightness is a good alternative for Heat or Electric teams, boosting their elemental damage. Fortmaker is a budget option that enhances personal SP gain but lacks team utility.
Notes
- This build focuses on maximizing SP generation and team buffs.
- Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill CD and grants a party-wide DMG buff after SP recovery.
- Redeemer Seal as an off-piece boosts Ultimate Gain Efficiency for faster Ultimate rotations.

- Thermite Cutter is free from New Horizons Weapon Supply and still provides team ATK buff.
Build Insights
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.
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

- Becomes more valuable in late-game teams that require high SP uptime.
Character Notes
Akekuri is a 4-star Heat Vanguard who serves as an excellent SP generator and team buffer. Her playstyle revolves around staggering enemies to trigger her Combo Skill for SP recovery, and using her Ultimate to rain down Rallying Flares that restore party SP.

Playstyle
- Use Burst of Passion to apply Heat Infliction and stagger enemies.
- Follow up with Flash and Dash (Combo Skill) after staggering to recover SP.
- Activate SQUAD! ON ME! to fire flares and restore team SP; the Talent Staying in the Zone provides Link for further damage boost.

Team Guide

Akekuri acts as an SP battery in this free-to-play setup, enabling the main damage dealer Endministrator to use skills more often. Chen Qianyu stacks Vulnerability on enemies to amplify incoming damage, while Ardelia keeps the team healthy and applies Corrosion to lower enemy resistances. This team relies on quick skill rotations to maximize burst windows.
Explanation
Akekuri's primary role is to generate SP for the team, especially after staggering enemies with her Combo Skill and Ultimate.
Chen Qianyu's Vulnerability stacks significantly boost Endministrator's damage output.
Ardelia's Corrosion debuff reduces enemy resistances, making them take even more damage from both physical and arts attacks.
Rotation
- 1Use Endministrator's Basic Attack until Final Strike to trigger Ardelia's Combo Skill, applying Corrosion, and also triggering Endministrator's Combo Skill.
- 2Activate Ardelia's Battle Skill to consume Corrosion and apply Physical and Arts Susceptibility, increasing the damage the enemy takes from both types.
- 3Use Endministrator's Ultimate or Battle Skill to trigger Chen's Combo Skill and apply a stack of Vulnerability.
- 4Use Endministrator's Battle Skill to consume the Vulnerability stack for extra damage.
- 5Repeat the combo. If the enemy is staggered, use Akekuri's Combo Skill or Ultimate to restore SP and restart the rotation.
Stagger enemies to trigger Akekuri's SP restoration, then cycle through debuffs and damage skills to maximize burst.

Explanation
Akekuri continuously supplies SP to the team, allowing Avywenna to use her skills more frequently.
Perlica offers support synergies that complement Avywenna's damage, though the exact buffs depend on team needs.

elementalfire_teamelemental
A fire-elemental team built around Laevatain's Melting Flame stacks. Akekuri applies Heat Infliction with her Battle Skill to restore SP, enabling frequent skill usage. Wulfgard adds additional fire damage and support, while Ardelia provides healing and Corrosion to amplify the team's fire attacks.
Explanation
Akekuri's Battle Skill applies Heat Infliction, which synergizes with Laevatain's fire abilities and restores SP.

- 3Do another Final Strike with Laevatain to gain 2 Melting Flame stacks.
- 4When Laevatain's Combo Skill appears, cast Ardelia's Battle Skill first to apply debuffs, then trigger Laevatain's Combo Skill for the third Melting Flame stack.
- 5Use Akekuri's Battle Skill to apply Heat Infliction and restore SP, then perform a Final Strike with Laevatain for the last Melting Flame stack.
- 6Use Akekuri's Ultimate if available, or wait for SP to cast Laevatain's Battle Skill.
