The other day I bought the salad trio that i usually buy and I was looking at all of them on the shelf and was like 'is there only two in them??'
Low and behold, there was only two. Cmon lidl, what are we doing here
Today I want to talk about Akechi Riko, someone who I have my eyes on to be the next big seiyuu.
From 81 Produce, born in 2003 and debuted in 2024, Akechi Riko has made her big debut with her first main role this season in The Klutzy Class Monitor and the Girl with the Short Skirt (image above). Not only is she an absolute treat in this tsundere role, but she is also in SIX other shows as NPCs/side characters this season alone. And while her MAL might not be that impressive yet, she has actually been in the background of a lot big shows since 2025. From Dress-up Darling S2 to Silent Witch to Witch Watch to mono to WataTabe. And she also has two more named roles announced for the future. (Source)
Her voice definitely reminds the most of Nagase Anna, another young voice actress who is also popping off this season.
Seeing as she is from 81, I have no doubt in my mind she will make it big and I look forward to hearing more of her.
So the new Statikk Shiv on PBE procced on-hit on the main target twice, which when combined with Dusk and Dawn, could instantly proc Ekko's passive. This was unfortunately changed and it no longer procs on the main target. Which now has a weird interaction with Dusk and Dawn and Ekko E.
As we all know Ekko's E procs Statikk Shiv before the E auto-attack actually lands. But because Statikk Shiv now applies on-hit, it activates Dusk and Dawn. So what ends up happening is Dusk and Dawn procs on the secondary target instead, as shown in the image. Left target is the main target, right target is secondary.
So when there is a secondary target present, Dusk and Dawn Statikk Shiv not only doesn't work, but it messes up your gameplay completely
Edit: The Bluetooth Auto tech with Statikk Shiv and Ekko E on a low HP target still works, so if you really wanted to use this combo, that would be your best bet, but you're better off not buying Statikk Shiv at all at that point
