Akekuri Guide & Best Builds
Welcome to our Akekuri build guide for Arknights: Endfield. Akekuri is a 4-star Sword Vanguard Character available in Arknights: Endfield who utilizes the Heat element.
In our Akekuri guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Akekuri, from building the best Gear and Weapons, to important stat priorities and combos.
Akekuri's Best Weapons
Rapid Ascent
- Main Attribute +132 (9/9)
- Crit Rate +19.5% (9/9)
Twilight: Azure Clouds (4/9):
Battle skills and ultimates gain Physical DMG Dealt +24%.
Against Staggered enemies, battle skills and ultimates also gain DMG Dealt +56%.
Of the three Agility Swords available at 6-star, only one of them even
has a Potential Skill that Akekuri can use, and that's Rapid Ascent. Rapid Ascent will grant a
boost to Akekuri's Main scaling Attribute, Agility, and increase her Critical Rate. The meat and
potatoes of the sword is its Potential Skill, Twilight: Azure Clouds. This Potential Skill increases
the damage output of her Battle Skill and Ultimate. However, it also synergizes with her Combo Skill,
which triggers against Staggered enemies. Against those enemies, her Battle Skill and Ultimate will do
even more damage than the baseline boost offered by this weapon.
OBJ Edge of Lightness
- Agility +124 (9/9)
- Attack +31.2% (9/9)
Flow: Unbridled Edge (9/9):
Secondary Attribute +14%.
After the wielder's skill recovers SP, the entire team gains Heat DMG Dealt and Electric DMG Dealt +8.4% for 20s.
Max stacks for effects of the same name: 3. Duration of each stack is counted separately.
OBJ Edge of Lightness is Akekuri's signature weapon, and it's easy
to see why! This weapon's Passive Attribute boost is Agility, which is Akekuri's Main scaling
Attribute. The Special Attribute increases Attack, which is just generally good. However, it is the
Potential Skill of OBJ Edge of Lightness that really makes this weapon shine for Akekuri.
First off, it enhances her Secondary scaling Attribute of Intelligence. More importantly, whenever Akekuri generates SP with her Combo Skill or Ultimate, she buffs Heat and Electric Damage dealt by herself and her teammates. This buff lasts long enough that she can keep this buff active 100% of the time. Additionally, this effect stacks. Considering Akekuri does Heat Damage with her Ultimate that activates this effect, you can see how she accelerates the damage output of herself and any team utilizing Heat and Electric Operators!

Contingent Measure
- Agility +93 (9/9)
- Physical DMG +26% (9/9)
Suppression: Emergency Boost (9/9):
When the wielder's battle skill hits the enemy, the wielder gains ATK +33.6% for 20s.
Effects of the same name cannot stack.
There's not much to say when it comes to picking a 4-star weapon for
Akekuri. Contingent Measure increases Akekuri's Main scaling Attribute, Agility. As
far as the Special Attribute and Potential Skills of the two 4-star Swords, they're practically
identical for Akekuri's purposes.
Best Gear for Akekuri
Frontiers
3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%.
When the wearer recovers SP with a skill, the team gains DMG +18% for 12s. Effect trigger cooldown: 30s.
When the wearer recovers SP with a skill, the team gains DMG +18% for 12s. Effect trigger cooldown: 30s.
This Gear set will be Akekuri's holy grail as a Vanguard. The
set effect will reduce the cooldown on her Combo Skill, which is her Main SP generator.
When recovering SP, the set will trigger an effect to grant the team a general damage boost for
a significant amount of time. Additionally, this set gives a massive boost in Agility and
Intellect, vastly improving Akekuri's damage output. Alongside Akekuri's first Talent, Cheer
of Victory, the massive Intellect gains will help her team generate SP much quicker. As an off-piece,
we'll take the Type 50 Yinglung Hand piece to improve the efficiency of her precious Combo Skill
that generates SP.

- Hand: Type 50 Yinglung Offpiece — Agility, Intellect, Combo Skill Efficiency
- Kit 1: Frontiers Set — Strength, Agility, Sub-Attribute (Intellect)
- Kit 2: Frontiers Set — Agility, Intellect, Sub-Attribute (Intellect)

Roving MSGR
3-piece set effect: Wearer's Agility +50.
When the wearer's HP is above 80%, Physical DMG +20%.

This is the 4-star set you'll be using for the rest of of Chapter
One, as you'll be using it as both 3* and 4-star Gear. This set will provide a significant
boost to Akekuri's Agility, and increase her damage while above 80% Health. Individual pieces
will also be increasing her Agility further, as well as offer various different ways to
increase her damage.

Akekuri's Skill Priority
Skill Priority: Flash and Dash > SQUAD! ON ME! > Burst of Passion > Sword of Aspiration
How to Play Akekuri
Akekuri is a Vanguard. Her Main role is to get your team additional SP. Thankfully, as a 4-star, her effects are pretty generic and flexible. The condition for her Combo Skill, her Main source of SP, requires you to trigger Stagger as often as possible.
The most straight forward way to do that? Get your Final Strikes in - constantly. You're going to be doing this with any team, and Akekuri won't be consuming any resources to get that SP. It's unfortunate that Akekuri has no way to natively make that Stagger happen faster, but you'll be thankful for that boost of SP every time you do hit Stagger, as that's going to be a massive influx of damage during the enemy's most vulnerable moments.
