Pros & Cons for Akari Minase (Synchro Aptitude)
Slash/Shot Attribute Multi-Hit Defender
Akari is a 5★ Slash/Shot Attribute Defender who summons Riatla during battle. During Riatla's turn, she can perform a Slash Attribute Blast Overflow Attack, while her Ultimate deals Shot Attribute AoE damage.
Can Heal Multiple Allies
Akari's Combat Skill heals a selected ally and adjacent allies, while also recovering HP equal to 10% of max HP for allies under Surveillance when their HP falls below 50%, allowing her to sustain multiple teammates at once. Her Additional Passive Skill also removes 1 debuff from the target after using her Combat Skill.
Overflow Attack Can Reduce PLTs
Akari summons Riatla at the start of battle, enabling an Overflow Attack during Riatla's turn. This Overflow Attack deals Slash Attribute Blast damage and can reduce PLTs, making it useful for both damage and support.
| Tip! | Additionally, Extra Attacks and Overflow Attacks can reach 100% CRIT Rate. If Akari's max HP reaches 6,300 or higher, the DMG Multiplier of her Overflow Attack also increases by +150%. |
|---|
Buffs and Triggers Extra Attacks
At the start of battle, all allies gain the "Surveillance" effect. Whenever an ally under Surveillance attacks, Akari gains a Patrol stack if she is not incapacitated. Once she reaches 8 Patrol stacks, all stacks are consumed to trigger a Blast Attribute Extra Attack. In addition, before the Extra Attack activates, she can increase the CRIT DMG of allies' Follow-Up Skills, Extra Attacks, and Overflow Attacks.
| Tip! | Using Akari's Ultimate grants 2 Patrol stacks. Although all Patrol stacks are consumed after triggering an Extra Attack, she immediately regains 1 Patrol stack afterward due to the Surveillance effect. |
|---|
Prioritize A1 and A2
A1 improves both survivability and damage support by granting revive utility and DEF PEN Rate UP for allies, while A2 reduces the required Patrol stacks by 1 and increases allies' DMG dealt. Because of this, A1 and A2 are the recommended stopping points early on. If possible, aim for A6 afterward, since it allows her Passive Skill CRIT DMG buff to stack twice and grants her additional CRIT DMG after using her Ultimate.

Best Squad Setup & Recommended TeamsBest Weapons for Akari Minase (Synchro Aptitude)
Best Weapon is AR-Hgrumis

Its effects provide increased HP, plus ATK UP for the equipped character and DMG dealt UP for all allies after using a Normal Attack or Extra Attack, making it an excellent option for improving both Akari's support and offensive capabilities.
