Akihiko Sanada, representing the Emperor Arcana, is a key member of your team. Engaging in his Linked Episodes unlocks the powerful Surt fusion, significantly boosting your combat potential. These episodes are time-sensitive, so prioritize completing them as soon as they become available to avoid missing out on his unique benefits and story contributions.
Akihiko's Linked Episodes and Benefits
Completing Akihiko's Linked Episodes is crucial for unlocking the Surt fusion. These episodes are time-sensitive; if not completed promptly, they will become unavailable for the remainder of the playthrough, preventing you from finishing any other Linked Episodes for him. Prioritizing these episodes ensures you gain access to the Surt fusion and experience his full story.
Combat Characteristics
Akihiko, like other party members, has two Combat Characteristics that can be unlocked. These are gained by spending time with him three times through dorm activities. Once a characteristic is unlocked from a specific activity, further time spent on that activity for Akihiko is no longer needed for that specific characteristic.
