We have reworked our tier list owing to multiple meta shifts and how we rate characters. As such some of the reviews (especially of older characters) might not match the tier list ratings. Please prioritize the ratings given over provided Review. We will be working on updating all reviews, but it is a time-consuming endeavor.

Once the poster child for bona fide best starting carry, Aki has aged poorly in today’s meta. She is still ole’ reliable Crit focused Assassin DPS - free Resistances, CC Immunity, and Crit Rate, explosive and snowball finish with her Main > Ultimate > Main combination, and easy access via the Starter banner. Aki’s kit has not changed since her release back in early 2023 and can still compete with many DPSes.
What has changed is the world around her. Aki has a bit of a starting curve due to her dependence on Crit stats and need for level 181/ 201 to unlock her full carry potential. Edith by comparison brings more immediate damage, no kill requirements, and raid relevance; and Otoha matches up well against Immortality hax in late game content. With balance patches, raid boss changes and new soul releases, Aki is slowly being drowned out both damage and utility-wise. That being said, she is still an excellent carry and worth using should you have her built up in your roster.
Pros
Tons of free stats and PvE utility - Resistances, CC Immunity, Crit Rate, ATK, Speed, and Mana Burn.
Great snowball potential via Main/Ult combo.
Cons
Steeper beginner curve - snowball potential, damage and free stats locked behind levels and Crit Rate.
Falls behind many of the modern DPSes in terms of damage.

The answers below are the correct ones you have to pick to achieve the True Ending (in the order you have to do so).
That sounds pretty cool.

Rebecca. She has experience in many areas.
Say you owe her too then.
Ask if she's sure she won't have any regrets
But I REALLY like Aki.
I want to find another way.
I love you too, Aki.

Easily upgraded thanks to Tower. Stat stick for most part, speed is always relevant for PvE situations

First to use Main wins in PvP (usually).
