Strategy/Usage

Akuma is like a glass-cannon version of Shadow Gao with slightly less range. Akuma can be used the same way as Shadow Gao against Traitless enemies, such as Mystic Mask Yulala or R.Ost. He is a somewhat viable counter to Henry, with his immunity to freeze and insane damage against him. Depending on the stage however, the supporting enemies might destroy him, or give Akuma more things to destroy. Boosting Akuma can be considered a good idea, as at level 50 his maximum damage can reach effective 245,430 DPH and 49,752 DPS, 25k unboosted effective at level 30. However, this isn't ideal for Akuma in reality due to a few problems. Do not use Akuma for general usage outside of his niche.

Be wary of his less-than-stellar health which reflects poorly with his one less than below average 3 KBs at 450 range, as he won't be able to take much pain compared to Shadow Gao who has 96k health at level 30 for contrast. In terms of effective DPS, Akuma has great effectiveness with DPS being 34k (30)/44k (40)/54k (50); unfortunately, this is balanced with his multi-hit mechanic causing not all of his DPS (against low-buff or high-knockback enemies, the actual DPS connecting can get as low as 1/3 of his 3 multihits) to consistently hit with many relevant Traitless Enemies having high knockback counts, i.e. H. Nah, Rain D. and unbuffed R.Osts. Akuma's 20 speed unfortunately also causes him to rush into Backliner class enemies including those with wave, LD or surge attackers, all of whom stand at backline and melt his usage. This leads into Akuma's largest problem: his survivability, having a measly 54k health at level 50 and otherwise 44k 40, 34k 30 which compared to other Backliner-class units is far too little, making him effectively a true suicidal Nuker. Overall, a unit with the great potential to melt away the threat of pure Traitless stages, with balanced weaknesses shifting him into a throwaway glass cannon.
