Reblogs are absolutely welcome, but PLZ don't repost/trace/feed into AI or any sorta dick move with my art. I will be very sad :(
Soooooo Rekindle the Flame kinda confirmed my theory that the thing Akito hates most is the feeling of stagnation. That horrible feeling that no matter what you do, you aren't improving. If you stop growing even for a second, you grow complacent, you hit a wall, you can't feel anything but frustration for yourself, because why can't you keep improving, why am I still stuck here.
Despite being able to find a bit of the spark the fire of his passion in the event and finding some growth, he's still mainly fueled by anxiety to not be left behind, which isn't sustainable and will lead to an even worse burnout in the future.
yippee! if colopale writes it correctly, we are gonna get hella akito angst in the future, because bro is a little ball of anxiety and does not know how to chill tf out.
FUCK I PREDICTED AKITO6 CORRECTLY. GODDAMNIT YOU IDIOT TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF YOU AINT ALONE ANYMORE. YOU DONT HAVE TO IMPROVE WITHOUT ANYONES HELP YOU FOOL.
☃️ Kaeya was one of my earliest carry in the game, as well as one of my favorite character. I think my connection with cryo element grew because of him later on in the game as I picked Chongyun as my next dps. I switched him out because the game content started getting harder and I didn't know how to build him properly.
☃️ After learning about reverse melt, I decided to change Kaeya's original permafreeze build because it deals more damage than just permafreeze (also because I already have Ayaka to play permafreeze). So here's my Kaeya reverse melt build.
☃️ Disclaimer: This build is not perfect and by no means should be treated as a rigid rule. I just share what I have tested in game and what I know works for me. So always do your own research and take my guide with that note in mind!
Artifact Sets
☃️ Like I said in the previous paragraph, my Kaeya is built to play in a reverse melt team, meaning he can't use 4 pc Blizzard Strayer like most cryo dps would. But you can, of course, put that set on him if you play him in a permafreeze team. I just like him better in reverse melt.
☃️ Aside from playing in a reaction team, Kaeya can also be built as physical dps. Kaeya is a cryo unit, which allows him to trigger superconduct if paired with electro unit in the team. Here are some of artifact sets I think will work on him:
4 pc Blizzard Strayer
2 pc Blizzard Strayer, 2 pc atk% (Gladiator, Shimenawa, etc)
2 pc atk%, 2 pc physical damage bonus (Bloodstained, Pale Flame)
☃️ His damage scales off atk%, so use atk% sands on him and depending on what build you have for him, put either cryo or physical damage bonus goblet.
Ratio to follow: 1:3 crit ratio with >60% crit rate at least, 75 EM, 120% ER, and >1.500 atk
Team Composition
Reverse melt team
Permafreeze team
Superconduct team (Kaeya physical)
☃️ Playing reverse melt team is really satisfying because melt damage has high multiplier. I would recommend having C6 Bennett for even more fluid gameplay so whenever Kaeya does normal attack, it will be infused with pyro, lowering the needs for Xiangling to constantly burst every rotation as Kaeya can apply pyro himself within Bennett's burst.
☃️ I don't play Kaeya physical because I don't have Mika, which act as physical damage buffer. If you have Mika, you can swap him out with Fischl. Just make sure that you have an electro unit in the team to trigger superconduct reaction which decreases enemy's physical resistance.
Talents Priority
☃️ Since his normal attack doesn't get infused with cryo (unless you play him within Chongyun's frost field), you don't really need to level it up if you play him in reaction team. But if you build him as physical dps then it's recommended to level up all three of his talents. I would personally go burst > skill > normal attack.
Weapon Choices
Left to right: Haran Geppaku Futsu, Mistsplitter Reforged, Primordial Jade Cutter
Left to right: The Black Sword (battle pass exclusive), Aquila Favonia (good for physical Kaeya), Prototype Rancour (craftable)
☃️ Kaeya can use any crit or atk% weapon in general. If you have Aquila Favonia, you can also use that to play physical Kaeya. The cheapest and easier weapon you can get for him is the craftable sword from Mondstadt.
So that’s pretty much my Kaeya build. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any through my ask box or just leave comment on this post and I’ll respond right away!
BOTH AKITO CARDS HAVE THE SAME GODDAMN EXPRESSION. I'M SCARED FOR AKITO'S CHAPTER. I AM AFRAID. HE LOOKS EXHAUSTED IN BOTH. PLEASE SEND HELP. SCREAMING THROWING UP CRYING.

Hopes and Thoughts on Akito5 after the absolute bombshell that was Mizuki5
Hello peeps! I am back from the dead(ty college), but here are my hopes + thoughts on things that Akito's fifth focus event(UTSU P COMMISSION HOLY SHIT NO WAY IM SO HYPE AKITO FR HAS NO BAD COMMISSIONS) will address. Judging by the name of the event and the card image, I think we might get another emotional damage bombshell after Mizuki5.
Anyways, here what I hope for Akito5 to address about his character, and always,
!SPOILERS FOR PREVIOUS VBS AND OTHER AKITO EVENTS UNDER THE CUT!
Okay, so everyone here good with spoilers I shall be giving you?
I think there's a fifty-fifty shot of it being a cute, happy event, or another emotional damage to the max. On paper, the plotlines I want to see fulfilled could be done through a cute filler event, but if you really think about Akito's character and his sole reason for living/singing being tied to a single goal and that goal now being gone, it could get angsty quick. It also doesn't help that Akito's previous events had darker plot lines, as well as song lyrics.
one
The biggest thing I hope they address about Akito's character is his future goals and where he will go now that he has surpassed RAD WEEKEND. His to goal surpass RAD WEEKEND is an integral part of his character. This goal is the sole reason he hasn't burnt out and remained directionless, like after Singing for a Summer Festival. It was reason why he continued to stay and sing on Vivid Street, despite the humiliation he faced in Find a Way Out. What happens to you when a goal that's so intertwined with your personality gets completed? I imagine that feeling would be incredibly strange. On one hand, the nebulous goal that he had set for himself got completed. On the other, his sole reason for continuing to live is gone. I would like to see where Akito will go now that he no longer has any goal in mind. How will he find a new direction? Will he branch out to try new things now that he has the time to focus on not surpassing RAD WEEKEND? Will he open up to his teammates further, as he will no longer have a reason to stay stoic and so focused on his goals? To add more to this, healing from something like getting all your satisfaction from a single goal is difficult and takes a long time, but I want to watch him learn to find joy in living life. I also wouldn't mind if Akito's growth takes a longer time and overlaps with other events that he's featured in.
two
Second, I want the event to address Akito's poor sense of self esteem. At the moment, his sense of self esteem seems to come from outside sources, such as whether or not he performed well or how well he was able to support his teammates. I want to see him grow from wanting external sources of validation to learning and accepting internal sources of validation, and acknowledging how hard he worked to get to his current point. Again this process takes time, but I would love to see the groundwork of this growth being laid out for his character in this event.
third
The third thing I hope they address about Akito's character is him learning how to enjoy the process of growing as a musician. The groundwork for this was laid out in both Find a Way Out and Burn My Soul. At the end of Find a Way Out, Akito has a moment, just a single moment where he feels the joy of being able to recognize his improvement. Of course, immediately after he has that moment, he shuts his feelings of success down, telling himself that he will only deserve to feel successful if he manages to surpass RAD WEEKEND. Later on, in Burn My Soul, with his one-on-one training with KEN, Akito is encouraged to find those feelings of frustration, joy, anger, fear, shame, everything he felt in his journey as a musician in order to create a performance that can be felt by audience. When Akito finally figured out how to allow himself to feel things, he became a far better musician. I really want to see how much further Akito can go if he just lets himself enjoy singing with the squad and not worrying about being perfect and being at 100% all of the time. Also cuz my son deserves to feel good about things and not be goal oriented and focused all of the time(shhh im not projecting, you are).
four
This one is a little bit of a long shot for it to be completed in a single focus event, but I would like to see Akito learning to open up even further to others that aren't in his immediate group. For a long time, Akito has only been able to rely on himself, as despite Ena caring deeply about him, she hasn't been in a good place emotionally to support him(holy fucking shit guys its not solely ena's or akito's fault that their relationships dysfunctional you try supporting someone when your mental health is in the drain). He's also seen to be emotionally distant from his parents; rarely speaking with his father or mother. At this time, Akito is the closest to his partner, Touya, as well as his team, but even then, he doesn't tell his closest friends everything, probably due to the trauma of being humiliated in Find a Way Out. Akito is so used to people around him being hostile towards him that he automatically reacts to it with the customer service persona or with more hostility. I hope that in this event, he will able to learn to trust his team more and learn to let go of some of that gruffness that allowed him to survive in Vivid Street's harsh environment.
five
I hope Akito gets to scream in his comm. Fumiya Imai has a crazy vocal fry and I hope he gets to use it in the Utsu P commission. send tweet. Anyway, jokes aside I'm incredibly hype for an Utsu P commission and I cannot wait to see how it turns out!
TLDR; In Akito5, I want to see Akito find a purpose that doesn't revolve around surpassing RAD WEEKEND, learning to let himself be satisfied with his skill while still wanting to grow, letting himself open up to people who aren't just Touya and his team, and a banger commission song(which is kinda guaranteed cuz its an Utsu P commission).
What hopes do you guys have for Akito5? Lemme know in the comments and reblog :D!
