About

Despite her blindingly golden hair, Akane often sits in a corner away from the crowd, headphones on, lost in her music. Someone always comes over though, takes off her headphones, and pulls her back into the noisy world around her. "The sun is a lonely star." "No. Even if we can't see them, the other stars are still right there keeping it company."

Rhythm Wave Skill

Lakshana

Offers two casting methods for Akane Rin's Redirect Skill.
Inflicts Overtone on the target when pressed. Relays Akane Rin's Basic Attack DMG over long range to the target affected by Overtone.
Deploys Reverb Field when held. Relays Akane Rin's Basic Attack DMG to other targets within Reverb Field.
Allows only one Overtone or Reverb Field to exist on the field at a time.

Redirect Skill: Rhythm Wave

Offers two casting methods for Akane Rin's Rhythm Wave.
Press: Inflicts Overtone on the target for 25s and deals Lakshana DMG. Causes Overtone to resonate when Akane Rin performs a Basic Attack, relaying that Basic Attack over long range to the affected target and increasing the relayed Basic Attack's DMG Ratio by 32.5%.
Hold: Deploys a Reverb Field for 25s and deals Lakshana DMG to enemies within range. Causes Reverb Field to resonate when Akane Rin performs a Basic Attack, relaying that Basic Attack through the field to deal 1 instance of Basic Attack DMG to all enemies within range and increasing the relayed Basic Attack's DMG by an additional 36%.
Allows only one Overtone or Reverb Field to exist at a time. Replaces the existing form when a new form is successfully established. Shares the same cooldown between both casting methods and allows either form to be selected again once the cooldown ends.
Enables Synced Resonance when String Energy reaches 30 and an active Overtone or Reverb Field is present. Triggers an enhanced effect based on the current form:
Overtone: deals 1 instance of massive single-target Lakshana DMG to the affected target.
Reverb Field: deals 1 instance of enhanced Spread Lakshana DMG to enemies within range.
Consumes 30 String Energy when Synced Resonance hits and consumes none if it misses. Preserves the existing Overtone or Reverb Field without refreshing its remaining duration.
Synced Resonance has no independent cooldown and does not affect Rhythm Wave's normal cooldown.
Prevents Synced Resonance from being cast when neither Overtone nor Reverb Field is active, requiring Rhythm Wave to establish a form first.

A truly great guitar always knows exactly when to kick in.

Perfect Pitch Passive

Causes Overtone and Reverb Field to periodically apply Remora to their respective targets for the rest of combat after the team triggers Remora for the first time.
Deals additional Lakshana DMG when the team reapplies Remora to an affected target. Increases this DMG based on the target's remaining Remora duration, up to a set limit. Tracks the trigger interval separately for each target.

Remora Enhancement: Grants Akane Rin an enhancement that lasts until she leaves combat after the team triggers Remora for the first time. Applies Remora to the target affected by Overtone and to all enemies within Reverb Field every Xs.
Deals Lakshana DMG equal to X% of Akane Rin's ATK whenever the team reapplies Remora to an affected target. Increases this DMG by X% for each 1s of Remora duration remaining on the target, up to X%.
Calculates each target's remaining Remora duration independently. Triggers this DMG no more than once per target every Xs.

With perfect pitch, Akane Rin can tune any instrument by ear—no tools required. She's basically a tuner in human form.

Starlit Anthem Passive

Increases Akane Rin's DMG dealt by 20% for 25s after casting Ultimate. Effect does not stack. Resets the duration when triggered again.

Increases Akane Rin's DMG dealt by 20% for 25s after casting Sonic Boom. Effect does not stack. Resets the duration when triggered again.
