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.

Thermite Cutter is the best Weapon for Akekuri since it can provide a party-wide ATK buff after she restores SP, which can be helpful for most teams. OBJ Edge of Lightness is an effective alternative when Akekuri is being used in Heat or Electric-centric teams.

Fortmaker is decent for its Intellect and Ultimate Gain Boost, which Akekuri can use to access her Ultimate sooner. However, the weapon does not offer any team buffs unlike the other weapons mentioned.

There are new gloves that are better for Akekuri. The Frontiers FIber Gloves T1 give +65 Intellect, +43 Agility, and +20.5% Ultimate Gain Efficiency. Instead of the External Xiranite Gloves T1 that are +65 Intellect and +43 Will. It's clear this build is about raising your secondary stat and these new gloves do that perfectly as well as raise her main stat too.

A "skill" from the frontier set doesn't specify which type of skill, so it can be combo skill, battle skill or even the ultimate as long as it recovers sp, it's the devs fault for not being specific enough to make them easily understandable by certain players
