The Real Power of Akaza in Demon Slayer

Demon Slayer Hinokami Chronicles Akaza Ranked Matches Gameplay. Akaza is not a strong character gameplay wise, but he absolutely destroys some top tiers. He was built to counter Water Wheel, so I hope you guys enjoy these matches.

[@anonomit8229]

@@Sabersoloss I’m pretty sure that it was early morning because Tanjiro went home early in the morning and since they seemed to have been attacked at least 2 hours before, it can be assumed that Muzan had attacked early(before sun rises 12:00-6:20 am) morning so if Tanjiro left around (based on how bright it was and how the sky looked/ what could be assumed about his sleep schedule due to him being a wood seller that fills his cart around 12-3pm) 7:00am then Muzan probably attacked between 3-5am which would be before the sun rises

[@Genzz78]

I just think he needs a small buff to his damage and damage reduction to 1.2x then he’ll be in a perfect spot, i love the character so far he’s very fun to play.

[@itimlopes1779]

Globku thinks poorly of Akaza but he's not using him at uis best, compass needle after pushblock, mindgames with his tilt move, and colapse at the end of combos for good damage, Akaza has to be aggressive, this safe playstyle is better suited for Rui

[@shogun5589]

You can only push block curtain stuff into compass needle most of the time it takes to long and u get hit out of it is why you have to be extra careful on how you use it

[@MediumSmoke]

Too bad that the safe playstyle is universally more powerful than being agressive in this game. Hence why Rui scores higher on a tier list.

One of Akaza's biggest strengths is that he can convert off just about anything with compass needle. It's not the godlike move everyone is saying it is because it's insanely easy to punish, but it's a very good tool for punishing stuff normally out of range and for getting combos when the opponent is in an awkward position

[@thegaminggiff]

Akaza just feels so misplaced in this campy style game honestly. Yeah you can push to open them up, but thats so much work to get nearly nothing, when theyll just continue to camp you all game. Its a big shame, but defensive options are so good in this game, why approach? And akaza needs to for so much resources

Ranked matches should really prevent people from rage quitting the match. Make them face their consequences like a man

[@captainchaos5705]

There's no way to stop them from doing it unfortunately, because they can always turn off the console or quit the game entirely. But hopefully they lose points for doing it, or some other punishment

[@thedude9828]

Should have a match making penalty for people who do, but its not like other games where you can leave for an hour, the game has to be open for the time to be run down, that way they can't just play a different game and get on an hour later, and make it so that they get matched with others who disconnect, the more frequent, the longer the penalty

[@spxsticks4247]

Water tanjiro takes so much skill to play its not even funny

[@namelessgamer8745]

I actually think his one of the strongest if you know how to play him but since everyone just wants to mash and spam he seems weak I actually see why he takes so much damage and why they made it kinda hard to do big damage with him

[@TheGodlyGamerMugen]

Yeah if he didn’t take more damage he’d be OP and when people know how to use demon boost right they heal a lot and end up having a lot more health then it seems

[@Accelerator1111]

I find him to be quite good, the only thing i would've actually liked Is if he unlimited demon guage when surge (maybe not both bars but one of them so that way you cant spam Dodge)

[@kauanjos3199]

Yeah but if the opponent has a more patient playstyle he's kinda screwed

[@nikeeuro]

What I've seen work with Akaza is if you get perfect timing with LB Y/L1 Triangle when someone uses assist save, they dont get chance to react, i've done it a few times and its too op cause its also a reset

[@aleksander243]

Please predict yushiros moveset. I need to see it. It could be like nighteye from mhoj2. Maybe. Possibly.

I think if he just had the same amount of health as say Rengoku he would be high tier

[@olenhess4007]

FAX

[@atpr3241]

I'm fine with his health. He just needs more damage. A safe combo with 2 meter and assist should be doing 5k imo

[@cable.3538]

Damn why does everyone keep running away it's crazy how easy it is to make the oponent lose some time and just escape. I think assist recharge should slower if you just run away cuz it's kind of crazy rn

[@auraemerald8434]

Akaza just looks like so much fun.

[@superspetz24]

Gotta say I’ve been learning to like Alana more and more, you just have to find a nice balance of being conservative while also spending meter for the big damage. I can get pretty consistent 4K combos with him m, even better if I catch them with my tilt special.

[@K1pu.]

btw for rui u can do his moving asist while bloking

[@tobi9188]

I know I’m late but in my opinion Akaza is mad goated and really good but what I would call a reflex fighter can take damage and heal since he’s a demon his compass needle when timed well can counter or save you from many moves and he can still provide solid damage when needed plus looks good while doing it so in conclusion, He’s not good for just one-shoting people but is one of the most adaptive fighters yet Thoughts everyone?

[@shogun5589]

You really have to play smart with akaza to prevail and it feels real good when you do side note why does every zenitsu player I go against just run all day lmao worst character to fight against in this game easily

I think ppl should use his compass needle more (guard skill). Sure it starts red combos but you don't even have to play neutral. Once ppl find out of op it is I think the opinion of akaza will change (just slightly tho. His damage is low unless you have blood art gauge)

(I repost this message under this video) Actually I just had an idea for Demon Alternate Skins! What if, we gave Rui, Older Sister Spider, and some of the background members that died off-screen, as skins for him? (Kinda like Injustice 2 premium skins! That'd be dope!) And you could do the same for Enmu, with the lower Moon Demons! You could also give their human forms as skins. All of this would be better than a simple alternate clothing!

I think It would be better if he didn't take that much damage, and if demons in general could have infinite demon guage on surge, or atleast one of them being unable to run out, so you could use His demons abilities as many times you want on surge, other than that i personally think they are fine
