Trivia

Akafuyu is a 5★ Musha Guard who specializes in Survival and DPS. As a Musha Guard, Akafuyu cannot be actively healed by other friendly units (passive healing such as Bard Supporters' trait will still heal her); to compensate this, she will restore a slight amount of HP in each attack (30 initial, 50 at Elite 1, 70 at Elite 2). Akafuyu has high HP and ATK in exchange for low DEF and can only block a single enemy, similar to Dreadnought Guards but higher, in exchange for a staggeringly high DP cost of 25 at Elite 2, preventing her from being deployed easily in the early game. Since Medics and Guardian Defenders cannot heal Akafuyu, she must be on the lookout for hard-hitting enemies and those with Arts attacks (due to Akafuyu's lack of RES) as they could render her great HP redundant unless she can dispatch them fast enough.

Talent

Like the other Musha Guards' (first) talent, Nobukage-ryu - Hatobu gives Akafuyu an ASPD Tenacity.

Skills

1. Nobukage-ryu - Kaminari Gatana no Zei buffs Akafuyu's ATK and makes her attacks deliver two hits, but she becomes unable to block enemies while active.
   • Although the drawback seems unhelpful at first glance, Kaminari Gatana no Zei can be useful when Akafuyu needs to take out (or at least whittle down) melee enemies with very high ATK like Hateful Avengers without letting herself be potentially knocked out in one hit, making Hatobu redundant.
2. Nobukage-ryu - Juumonji Masaru causes Akafuyu to lose half of her current HP when activated but buffs her ATK and DEF, and gives her one Shield while active.
   • In a similar vein to Utage's Descending Strike - Earth Splitter, having half HP when Juumonji Masaru is activated means that Hatobu and the skill's ATK buff will improve Akafuyu's DPS, not to mention that the Shield and DEF buff can allow her to withstand incoming attacks and giving Akafuyu the opportunity to cut down her foes.

Operator Module

The MUS-X Operator Module, Samurai Armor, applies a 25% Sanctuary effect when Akafuyu's HP falls below 50%, in addition to increasing her ATK and DEF. Once upgraded, Akafuyu receives a second talent, Nobukage-ryu - Gyakufu, which buffs her DEF while blocking an enemy.

Base skill

Guard Expert α speeds up the skill Specialization training of Guards by 30% while she is assigned as the trainer in the Training Room. At Elite 2, Guard Expert α becomes Nobukage-ryu which also speeds up the training further by 45% if it is for Specialization Level 1.

Summary

Akafuyu is a good Musha Guard who, despite of being unable to be healed by her comrades, will make good use of the fact that anything which does not kill her makes her stronger to cut down all in her path.
