How to play Akane
- Reaping Chain drags the victim to your feet. Follow it straight away with a double-tap heavy: they arrive in range and off balance.
- Two jumps and a speed of 2.5 make Akane one of the best fighters at chasing people off the stage. Jump out after a launched enemy and finish the job.
- Smoke Bomb is cheap (10 mana). Use it to escape a corner rather than trading hits.

“I took the ledger. Not his life.”
