Where these rankings come fromThe weapon order, gear sets and Potential verdicts on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and condensed to a sentence each. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the Potential and team its row states. Everything else (base stats, skill text, material totals) is read from the game’s own data.

Frontiers is Akekuri's best set in almost every case, its three-piece bonus keeping a team-wide DMG% buff up nearly permanently while also cutting her Combo Skill's cooldown.
3PC3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%. After the wearer's skill recovers SP, the team gains DMG +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack.
No Set: Building Akekuri with no set at all and maximum Ultimate Gain Efficiency instead regenerates more team SP and keeps her ATK% and Link buffs up, and pieces with Intellect boost the SP her Combo Skill recovers.

Akekuri FAQ
- What attribute is Akekuri?
- Akekuri is a 4-star Heat operator of the Vanguard class, from Endfield Industries, wielding a Sword, released in version 1.0.
- What stat does Akekuri scale on?
- Akekuri's skills multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Battle Skill and Ultimate, not from the skill description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
- What is the best weapon for Akekuri?
- Thermite Cutter is the closest fit on the data: it is a 6-star Sword with 490 base ATK at level 90, and its skills act on ATK. Prominent Edge is the best 4-star alternative.
- Which gear set should Akekuri use?
- Frontiers. Its 3-piece effect is: 3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%. After the wearer's skill recovers SP, the team gains DMG +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack. The 3-piece effect is the only set bonus a gear set has, and it needs three matching pieces; an operator equips four in all (Armor, Gloves and two Kits), so the fourth is free for an off-set piece.
- How much does it cost to max Akekuri's skills?
- Taking one combat skill from level 1 to 12 costs 172,200 T-Creds and 21× Blighted Jadeleaf among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
- What does Akekuri P1 do?
- Positive Feedback: After recovering SP with skills, Akekuri gains ATK +10% for 10s. This effect can reach 5 stacks.
