This was a challenge for me because this is the very first bronze Servant kit I've done. I couldn't make it outrageous like some kits SR and SSR have, but I can't make it purposefully weak either just because they are low stars (for example, the newest low stars we have are strong only held back by stats). I hope I did this one good. There's also Kanoko next for another bronze unit.

Akira has the highest attack among all 1* Assassins, but her deck being QQQAB Q limits her damage potential, so yes, she is a Servant who is not only held back by stats, but also by choice of deck. Having a 3 hits Quick won't make her generate much stars, though her NP will generate tons of stars. That's most likely when it's the best time to unleash her crits. But since she is Quick crit-centric, there's also the matter of lower damage. Grails definitely help, though. Her NP gain is also on the lower end.

I'm glad you like Akira as a character, because she is pretty forgettable among the MagiReco fanbase. By the way, her soul gem is on the back of her hand which is used for punching--even thought what would happen if she accidentally smashed her own soul gem while hitting? That was actually a design flaw because the artist didn't know what soul gems are.

Why not request more if you like? Put some more bronze up in the list up there, Hitsuji.
