Strategy/Usage
Akira is a very multipurpose offensive unit. In his normal form, he acts as an offensive control unit against aliens, which can make dealing with tough alien bosses like Nimoy Bore much easier. He has fantastic synergy with cats that excel at damaging aliens, like Aphrodite or stacks of Macho Legs Cat. Akira freezes the aliens in their tracks, allowing your damage-dealers to wipe them out. Use him in tandem with Surfer Cat for even better stun-locking of alien enemies!
Shadow Akira is a very well-rounded damage dealer that is great in all areas. Due to his attack buff, he is the best form for taking on any type of enemy, though excelling at none. This form is best used for offensive support to add to high DPS teams.
Inferno Akira is extremely effective against resilient shockwave enemies like Kory or Elizabeth the LVIth. It is possible to use tough meatshields like Metal Cat in combination with Inferno Akira to trash shockwave enemies (making this one of the only times that using meatshields on shockwave enemies is recommended!). Do note that Inferno Akira gains the Strong ability against aliens, but in exchange for Strengthen, which Shadow Akira has. Inferno Akira can be a great asset to use against Crazed Titan Cat and Manic Jamiera Cat.
Due to Akira's resistance to weakening effects for all forms, he is extremely useful when faced against enemies who apply this kind of debuff, such as Calamary.

Appearance
- Normal Form: A boy wearing a light grey helmet, breastplate, pauldron, gauntlet, boots, and white bodysuit. He also wields a giant arm-drill with a cat ornament on his left hand.
- Evolved Form: He got long white hair and his armor became sharper and received a darker tone. The arm-drill changed into a lance(?) with a sinister looking face. The cat face ornament remains, but is in front of the blade which makes it is easier to see.
- True Form: Akira's armor is now mainly red and black. His sword, now overflowing with energy, has a hexagonal jewel instead of a circular jewel and reveals two red laser blades when attacking. The sinister face of the blade is given red eyes and a mouth with sharper, more curved teeth.
Trivia
- This unit might be inspired by X and Zero from the Rockman/Megaman franchise. The arm cannon is their common trait and Shadow Akira's long hair is quite similar to Zero's.
- This unit shares the same name as the popular sci-fi anime film Akira, where a psychic explosion causes World War III in the year 2019.
- The only Dark Hero that has no Anti-Alien abilities in Evolved Form.
