IS AKARI WORTH IT!? SHE IS WORKING AS INTENDED BUT...FML! [Solo Leveling: Arise]

[@TEA.skillissues]

she is not bugged , she just escanor from temu

[@thearchon8579]

Lol

[@ungedru8548]

I like her moveset, but kinda disappointed...

[@danfromwhen]

I feel like she was supposed to be a fire hunter and they pulled a fast one last minute. Even her skills have fire lol

[@_ABeastOfPrey_]

Even her voice lines include burning lmao

[@joaonunes13th]

Akari means light in Japanese, I said that even before showing the element and no one believed it 😂

[@_ABeastOfPrey_]

@@joaonunes13th It's actually "Hikari", Akari means Bright Star, which is close, but not direct interpretation

[@joaonunes13th]

@@_ABeastOfPrey_ I think they both mean that, when I searched on google It said that: Japanese word akari means "light". It is a feminine name that is popular in Japan and is often chosen for girls. The name is associated with qualities like warmth, positivity, and inspiration.

[@ilyes5560]

Got her A1 from back to back, glad I stopped even though I just summoned because I know she will be used in the future, these specific buffers usually always have a reason to be used in the future

[@hhutame]

Thx for your work and info Payne. It seems I made the right decision about spending all my rate draw tickets for making Thomas Andre A9 to A10. And I'm so happy. He is the only hunter I have that made a10 before time ran out.

[@hhutame]

And now I'll just try to get her first copy and make Mirei a10 afterwards.

[@PAlouidor]

Same for him at A9 and very happy

[@Spoopball]

Netmarble does a good job of making us want every hunter. I always try to pull for at least a single copy to just say I have it. But it's kinda crazy she doesn't have a cleanse or an anti-shield. Mei Lin is the only support that deletes shields and she been viable is her release

[@rvpv7449]

What i think is happening here is the comment i remembered for korean livestream... the middle one said that they expect us to test the intuit blessing stone for the results and meta and is what is happening here... if she was op ... they could not nerf her bcz of their word, rather they can buff as when seeing the results from the sla community(testing from ccs) and then buff her accordingly???? Hence, i think this is a move taken by them to avoid power creep and adjust the hunters accordingly with content creaters results. Thoughts???

[@turtlelagzgaming]

I appreciate your honest opinion Payne, keep up the awesome content!

[@TheFunDimension]

The thing is, you can’t pull for the cat lady or Min at the moment. What I really care about is how well she performs on an 3 man team since Deimos is the next WOBL boss weak to light damage, and assuming light is also support for the next monarch on the WOBL and the proof of the Strong is now a thing, building the best light team is crucial. There is a mechanic the dev team uses in order to build teams for the WOBL that you guys are not paying attention, which is the synergy of the main elemental team, making it easy to predict the next hunters perks. In this case, it is the first time we have a second main healer support, so people need to be cautious.

[@nikoryannebres5740]

Always appreciate your efforts for us master saitama❤

[@brianburca382]

I regret my choices. I was too hyped for this update that it blinded me. Now I used most of everything I currently have. But I can still replenish thanks to these new events at least. But now I can stop on her.

[@TawogStan]

Damn it, was happy that i got her to A2 with less than 100 summons I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for essence stones and i regret everything

[@charisma751]

I just got 1 copy and that’s it. All my tickets went into Thomas

[@_ABeastOfPrey_]

Her animations are so deadass slow, made me appreciate Human Baek even more after her trial, Imma be saving for Esil

[@tatsukinomiya]

I was able to get an A1 of her. I'll settle with that and restack for Ryuji. I personally just like completing the Codex.

[@meklordking-no5rf]

right now I'm pulling for her because I am trying to build a good light team and I want her as a good support same as him I'm going to just get that one copy of her I usually get one copy and save my tickets for the new hunters for future banners

[@slimak8888]

Akari easiest skip since Isla. Full save for Esil.

[@si1entgmer263]

free legendary skill rune though

[@xernandelacruz6401]

​@@si1entgmer263 can you seriously call it "free" when you have to pull?

[@si1entgmer263]

@@xernandelacruz6401 In my mind, I will eventually have to pull her anyways. So if I can get a legendary rune while pulling her it is like why not? Legendary runes or blessing stones are so hard to get. I got 4 copies of her and a Min so it is worth it for me

[@Ventilador99]

​​@@xernandelacruz6401I spent like 300 tickets on thomas and mirei for that rune and got Cutting rush : Effulgence.. prolly not worth it Thomas A7 to A10 Mirei A6 to A8

Come On!!! I'm so happy to hear that Cha is still alive, i was hoping she was awful in order to keep using my A5 Cha

[@sid10458xx]

I got 2 copies in 5 multis im kinda happy ill just save at A1

[@jongaskins5617]

I have min A1 i know you made a video about him a while back but since thomas changed a lot of things how far would you build up min before worrying about a10 thomas and upgrading thomas and goes weapons before a5 mins weapon? Just trying to figure out where to throw resources first.

[@adambf5145]

i got one copy in 150. well, it be like that

[@Cleezy88]

290 for an a1 over here 😂

[@somewhiteguy4197]

Unfortunately went 400 tickets in for A5. Sad to hear she's not worth it

[@CNote825]

You spent 400 tickets on a character that gets eaten IMMEDIATELY knowing Esil is otw? Goto gets eaten too but at least he was hyped up in the manwha

[@Sincerity1993]

Why the hell did u do that? How do you survive in life?

[@AkiCloud]

F

[@km-js7ws]

Welp I got her A2 and to see that Akari got nerfed is a pity, I really hope they give her at least a tiny buff again, glad I stopped pulling at 10k essence stones 🤡

[@Sean-N]

Why do people just summon immediately when the update drops ;-; Are characters like Esil and Goto not more enticing to save for? I know people wanted to summon for akari asap because she is supposedly built for Thomas to support him… so it is just unfortunate that she isn’t up to the expectations many would have for her. This isn’t really a lesson about not being hasty, but maybe a lesson to not get your hopes up… especially if the character isn’t absolute top tier given just by their performance on day one xd Maybe they will do something about her as a unit… as probably a lot of us won’t ever put her in custom if she goes like this till she is in it.

[@Niklas.Kirchner]

Esil yes. Goto absolutly not.

[@Chungy21]

​@@Niklas.Kirchner I don't get how people are hyped for him when he basically insta dies.

I got her A4 as f2p right after A5 thomas 😭🙏 should i continue to a5??

Why u didn't went for a10 thomas? I did it as f2p

[@tatsuyashiba5950]

Might as well at this point. A5 is relatively better for her

[@adityamittal843]

At this point leave the game! Always hold till u get opinions from content creators! Not every hunter is for f2p

[@AkiCloud]

No

[@neoo.1889]

Bugged/ broken/ worth pulling or not, even if she was OP, at the end of the day, the character has dogshit gameplay. Deepthroating a cactus is probably more fun than playing her. Nothing flows well, slow, clucky, you name it. Gina is the best example, may not be meta or OP but is hella fun playing. (A small buff wouldn't hurt though.)

[@GAMELE0N]

i mean her ulti is rly nice... but.. those attacks man... holy shit they suck hard...

[@hamza073073]

I summoned her to A6 this morning without thinkinb , in screwed aint I

[@odinsolberg3679]

They should buff her in an instant. She has to be better. Can't have a character made for Thomas but not be that much better then others. Rip me too. Desided to trust netmarble and got her a4 in 420. Never trust netmarble, that could get u banned.

[@si1entgmer263]

I did 300 pulls just for the free legendary skill rune. Players with abundant tickets should put this into consideration

[@adityamittal843]

I stopped at a7 Thomas, thinking enough for a bit ! But he is extended and now that legendary skill,he fr sure going a10 now

so if i dont have any good supp, i go for akari?

we didn't get a chance to test blessing tbh

[@Kshitijverma_19]

@PayneBlade I wish when new WOBL comes they buff her as she was earlier. I exhausted all my resources in doing her A2 almost to A3. A10 thomas, A5 ggh and A3 akari I'll be most probably ready.

So she has an *Axe* 🪓 & *doesn't* do *damage* .. & she's a *support unit* that *doesn't support* .. !!?!! I guess i wasted my Crystals for nothing !! Welp the only good side to it , is i can choose Mirie weapon instead of hers .

First beru then igris and then big rock, for me atleast.

Igris

[@kierankasey]

Big Rock. Keep him as your main shadow because Beru is mostly a support Shadow. Most teams can benefit from basic skill damage; Beru only supports ATK hunters while buffing Crit Dmg for everyone.
