[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]

• [p]Physique: SLIM BODY[/p]
• [p]Role: ASSAULT[/p]

[p]Abilities:[/p]

• [p]Tactical(Q) — ENCOUNTER[/p][p]Akaihime tosses a tactical grenade, keeping herself in stealth within the affected area.Stealth state grants damage reduction[/p]
• [p]SIGNATURE(E) — DEPARTURE[/p][p]Slide forward quickly while shooting. Performing melee during the slide triggers a special attack.[/p]
• [p]Ultimate (Z) —ENIGMA[/p][p]Akaihime enters a combat stance, which enhances her abilities. Instantly regain a certain amount of HP with each enemy kill. 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]Compatible Guns:[/p]

• [p]Submachine Guns[/p]
• [p]Shotguns[/p]
• [p]Sniper[/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]

[p]Hello, Valiants![/p][p]In our previous issue, we shared the backstory of "Snow Leopard Anthea" and left her role as a cliffhanger. We’re truly grateful for your overwhelming enthusiasm—since publication, we’ve received hundreds of in-depth analyses and predictions. We’re deeply impressed by your passion and understanding of the game! Based on the concept art and storyline, many of you have made accurate guesses about her class and even some skill effects. Now, let’s pull back the curtain on this mysterious Valiant![/p][p][/p][p]Hailing from an unknown past and raised in a laboratory, her memories of her homeland have grown faint. Now, armed with innate ice abilities and extreme mobility, she’s poised to become an elusive hunter, striking unseen across the battlefield.[/p][p][/p][p]— Valiant Profile: " Anthea" —[/p][p](Final in-game design may differ)[/p][p]▌Basic Info[/p]

• [p]Build:[/p]
  • [p]Medium[/p]
  • [p]Disappointment for the "buff lady" theorists.[/p]
• [p]Class:[/p]
  • [p]Assault[/p]
  • [p]The design synergizes with the intended gameplay fantasy of her abilities.[/p]
• [p]Nationality:[/p]
  • [p]Unknown. Taken to a lab as a child, she has no memory of her origins.[/p]
  • [p]Some lab personnel speculate she may be from Central Asia.[/p]
• [p]Default Weapon:[/p]
  • [p]Rifle – a brand-new one![/p]
  • [p]No heavy firepower. No sheer brawn.[/p]
• [p]Passive Trait:[/p]
  • [p]Enters health regeneration (breath recovery) faster.[/p]

[p][/p][p]▌Core Combat Role: Highly Mobile Battlefield Disruptor[/p]

• [p]PASSIVE[/p]
  • [p]Anthea’s gameplay revolves around movement and control. Her passive allows multi-directional displacement using walls, including mid-air redirections, making her movement unpredictable.[/p]
• [p]TACTICAL ABILITY \[Q][/p]
  • [p]A key tool for initiating surprise attacks or escaping danger. She uses a grapple to quickly pull herself to a target wall, entering a cling state that sets up her next move. Imagine: grapple to a wall, kick off to flank, then… (go ahead, picture the possibilities!)[/p]
• [p]SIGNATURE ABILITY \[E][/p]
  • [p]She swings her tail, dealing damage and creating an ice fog that forms a "Silence Zone" (skill-casting disabled). Deploy it wisely among grouped enemies to disrupt their combos instantly.[/p]
• [p]ULTIMATE ABILITY\[Z][/p]
  • [p]When the battle reaches a climax, her ultimate turns the tide. She summons a blizzard around herself, gaining strong survivability before unleashing a devastating area-of-effect strike. Even if defeated, the built-up frost energy detonates early, creating a deterrent against foes.[/p]

[p][/p][p]▌ Squad Synergy Discussion[/p][p]A nimble, controlling, and high-burst Assault like her is sure to shine in the right composition. Which existing Valiant do you think would create the best "1+1>2" chemistry with Snow Leopard?
