Aka

A former bounty hunter turned companion and lover to Simon. She was infected early on by a corruptive force and requires frequent sex with Simon to survive, however there is a transformation ritual that may save her at the cost of her humanity.

Story
Not much is known about Aka's life before joining Simon, other than she became a bounty hunter as a means for putting food on the table, choosing to dual-wield daggers preferring speed and precision over brute force, and the fact that they were even cheaper than axes in weapon shops.

Her life irrevocably changed the day she met Simon after Chosen #565, aka Tal, hired her due to her looks. In spite of portraying herself as a professional, she is actually a rookie with a decent amount of skill.

During a trek through a smuggler's cave the group encountered a spell circle that held a Lustlord's Soul Shard. Although the rest of the group was unaffected: Tal being immune due to Ivala's blessing; Simon because of his new nature and Yarra as a succubus; the magical circle's activation imbibed a corruptive force into Aka. The corruption made her libido increase to the point that she could not go anywhere without sexual contact for a good amount of time. However, Yarra claims that there is a ritual that could change that but it would come at the cost of her humanity.

In terms of her personality, she is still very moralistic despite her oncoming transformation, especially when it comes to sexual behavior, preferring that Simon, other than Succubi, remains faithful only to the harem; contrasting with Yarra's more liberated mindset. As such, they are often found on opposing opinions in choice events. The only time they agree is the subsequent domination of Varia though are on opposing sides as to whether or not allow her to be gangraped.

Tactics
Aka's a debuffer through and through and is a staple for most boss battles because she can lower damage, increase damage, lower speed, etc. In most fights, she will have the initiative, so it's not possible to apply buffs on her on the first turn. Her main claim to the party for most of the game lies in her dual wielded daggers which gives her a combined Critical bonus of 25%, meaning if RNGesus blesses you, most encounters are oneshot able. None of her stabs can generate Critical hits, so if you're looking for them use normal attacks or Forceful Lunge. Her Poisoned Blade can't either but the damage from Poison is a large commodity in and of itself. Her major drawback is that she doesn't have any kind of AoE skills, which limits her usefulness in combat with multiple enemies.

Rafael367 - I have a few suggestions for using Aka:


 * First, her Crippling Strike reduces AGI, which makes enemies act much later in the round, but not much else, (this can be situationally useful if you need more time to land a stun on a particular enemy). Her Blinding Strike makes them miss more often. Her Weakening Stab makes them hit softer. Finally her Piercing Strike which you will be earning later on weakens their armor so you hit harder. Try Weakening first, then Blinding. Use Piercing once you get that to stick. Battles should go much more smoothly then. Aka's regular attack also hits pretty hard if you are outclassing the mobs already and want to conserve mana.
 * Secondly, for groups I would suggest that you use Aka's Poisoned Blade as part of a 2 hit combo with a Simon/Hilstara stun, or Yarra/Cumdump handcuff lust stun attack. This way you would lock an enemy down for 5 rounds while it's still taking damage, allowing you to focus on another enemy. Most boss enemies will be immune to both poison and stun, but a most other enemies do not resist either.

Relationship points
Maximum affection is 100, and once there a girl should not lose affection afterward.

Aka is generally in favor of "good" options and doesn't approve of Simon sleeping with random people (especially prostitutes). She's often found opposite Yarra on moral choices. However, Aka also has a vengeful streak that comes out a times, particularly with Varia. Aka likes weapons, especially knives.
