Shared Team Members
With Avywenna
Akekuri amps team DMG off SP recovery. She does not replace Perlica's Electric Infliction — she makes Avywenna's recall hit harder once Perlica has already started the Electric chain.
With Laevatain
Akekuri amps Laevatain's team off SP recovery — shorter Combo Skill cooldown and a team DMG buff so Laevatain's dump windows hit harder. She does not replace element enablers like Perlica.
