Futa Slug EX: Is Akiko Bad or Is It a Skill Issue? (Workarounds)
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Queue another damage converter after Akiko to change her poison damage into another damage type with its own multiplier. Alternatively, pair poison damage with smoke and use laser, gauss, or jet modifications to manage range and projectiles.
How to fix it
- Add a second damage converter after Akiko – place another converter in the queue that changes the poison damage she deals into a different damage type that has its own multiplier. This prevents the poison from staying as low‑damage over‑time and lets you benefit from a higher‑damage conversion.
- Pair poison with smoke and then modify the smoke – include a smoke source in your team composition, then attach a laser, gauss, or jet modification.
- Laser or gauss will turn the smoke into a projectile, giving it a clearer damage path.
- Jet will keep the smoke particles moving around the enemy, letting you stay at a safer distance while the damage stays active.
- Convert poison to a single‑type damage – change the poison conversion setting from “all” to a specific type such as spark. This concentrates the damage into one multiplier instead of spreading it thinly across multiple types.
If it still doesn't work
- Try different ordering of converters; sometimes placing the poison‑to‑single‑type conversion before the second converter yields better results.
- Experiment with other projectile‑type modifications (e.g., swapping laser for gauss) to see which interacts best with your current team setup.
- Consider swapping Akiko out for another Toxic class member if the above adjustments still leave her underperforming in your build.
What players reported
Of course, the title question applies to the Toxic class altogether. While the description says "High damage over time" It really seems like severely subpar damage compared to every other class (besides Hail). Maybe I'm not seeing the vision for Akiko, but I see an actual nerf every time I add her to any build, which is the opposite of the case when I utilize any/all other Boss girls. Converting…
What players suggest
If you really want to utilize Akiko, I'll add to this, two more tips. You can always add laser or gauss to your team comp, to change smoke into projectile, or jet to make them fly around and be close to enemy while you are safer in the distance. Also You can change poison damage conversion from all to single type like spark.
