[p] Still think you can catch me?[/p][p]Hello Wild Ones![/p][p]In this issue of Wild Assault Dev Log， we continue our Valiant profile series with an in-depth look at AKAIHIME[/p][h3]Profile[/h3]

Tactical: The tactical grenade's effective area and duration are significantly increased. Signature: Enters stealth while sliding, leaving a decoy in place that prevents enemies from shooting.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Story[/h3][p]"Akaihime" is a codename, she never had a real name. Her earliest memories are from a children's welfare institute whose founder viewed children as tools for government subsidies. The children endured bullying and hunger. In this toxic environment, Akaihime learned deception and theft early, eventually leaving the despised orphanage alone.[/p][p]To survive on the streets, the young Akaihime used every means possible. She knew her advantages: intelligence, beauty, and mastery of deception... all became bargaining chips for survival. Struggling in the underworld gave her sharp insight into human nature. By exploiting and manipulating desires, she established and controlled her own red-light district before adulthood.[/p][p]Fate shifted when a KGB agent appeared. intending to infiltrate the red-light district and society's gray areas, he encountered Akaihime and fell under her deception and charm, exposing his origins and identity. When he finally recalled his mission, shame and anger were mixed with admiration for her cunning and methods.[/p][p]One of the world's most powerful intelligence agencies extended an olive branch. Akaihime silently watched the man amid swaying music and dance. Facing the invitation, she knew two outcomes awaited: elimination or recruitment. It was a huge gamble, but Akaihime was already weary of the dull society in tense times—she craved a chance to change her life, even the world... Everything went as she anticipated.[/p][p][/p][h3]3.

[p][/p][h3]4. Strategy Guide[/h3][p]Battlefield Role:[/p]

• [p]Breacher/Flanker[/p]
• [p]Utilize high mobility and smoke stealth to act as a elusive raider for efficient eliminations.[/p]

[p]Skill Strategies[/p]

• [p]Basic Stealth:[/p]
  • [p]Use Q's damage reduction and stealth to reduce damage, conceal position, or initiate ambushes, applying sustained pressure on small/medium targets.[/p]
• [p]Slide-Combo:[/p]
  • [p]Leverage E's high-speed linear movement and low profile to evade enemy projectiles and gunfire for tactical flexibility.[/p]
• [p]Mobility Combo:[/p]
  • [p]Combine "special melee displacement + jump" for long-distance repositioning.[/p]
• [p]Core Mobility:[/p]
  • [p]Low-profile slides dodge bullets, while shootable slides with AOE melee displacement can instantly breach enemy formations. The kill-refresh passive enables chain kills.[/p]

[p]Weapon Recommendations[/p]

• [p]Balanced: Type 4 Rifle[/p]
  • [p]Versatile mid-range coverage[/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]CQC: AKS/ASVAL[/p]
  • [p]High close-range burst, moderate mid-range capability[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

• [p]Assassination: Shotgun[/p]
  • [p]Sacrifices range for extreme close-range burst; high-skill choice[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Survival Tips:[/p]

• [p]Skill Cycling is Key:[/p]
  • [p]Actively trigger "Overkill" (excess damage or consecutive kills) to refresh skills and sustain aggression and mobility.[/p]
• [p]Engage/Disengage Artistry:[/p]
  • [p]Combine Q and E for rapid entry/exit from combat zones, evading enemy aim and prediction, with added damage reduction.[/p]
• [p]Prioritize Shooting:[/p]
  • [p]While slides are flexible, "shoot more, slide less" in practice. Avoid overusing movement and waste output opportunities. Ensuring effective damage from a safe distance is key to high efficiency.[/p]
• [p]Beware Countermeasures:[/p]
  • [p]Experienced engineers pre-place traps in smoke—avoid predictable patterns.[/p]
• [p]Recommended Talents:[/p]
  • [p]Prioritize heal acceleration, movement speed, and attack speed (sacrificing melee damage).[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Summary[/p][p]Akaihime is a classic high-risk, high-reward flanker. She exerts sustained pressure on enemy backlines and flanks through extreme mobility and assassination prowess. However, her low base survivability heavily relies on operational awareness and skill timing, making her not recommended for beginners in high-pressure matches.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That's all. Join us again next week! If you have suggestions or ideas for Akaihime, please share your feedback with us! We hope you enjoy a nice weekend.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Combat Cat Studio[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]X：https://x.com/WildAssaultGame[/p][p]Discord：https://discord.gg/WildAssault[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Follow us on social media ⤵️[/h3]
