Lore

The almighty panda hero of Stream Valley. Once, there was a panda in Stream Valley named Akai. With the dream of becoming a hero, he was always eager to offer help, but often ended up causing more trouble instead. He worked hard to pursue his dream, and although he'd once wandered off right the path, in the end, he recalled his original intention and became a true hero.

Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Akai is strong against heroes with poor Mobility since he can easily catch and eliminate them with his Ultimate, such as Eudora and Odette.

Countered by

Akai is countered by heroes with CC removers or transformation abilities that allow them to escape or counter Akai's Ultimate, such as Nana and Diggie.

Compatibility

Akai works best with heroes who can deal high burst damage as they can help him take down enemies caught in his Ultimate, such as Saber and Eudora.
