Akame is the titular female and deuteragonist of Akame Ga Kill! anime series. Known as Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame, she once wielded her exceptional skills and abilities for the corrupt Empire before defecting to the revolutionary army. Akame and her sister Kurome were sold to the empire and survived hellish tests and training to become an exceptional assassin of the Elite Seven by Gozuki. After many years of serving the empire, she grew disillusioned by the deaths of many of her comrades and chose to defect to the revolutionary army, later serving as a member of their own assassin corp known as Night Raid. Fiercely protective of her new comrades and extremely diligent in her new role, Akame does all she can to bring the corrupt Empire to its knees. This build of Akame is her during most of the animated series.
Akame Stats

Str 8 Dex 15 Con 14 Int 10 Wis 14 Cha 13 (after racial and feat mod)
Class Rogue 1/Monk 5(Way of the Kensei)
The three things that I wanted to achieve in this build are:
- Poison to Give, Not to Have.
- Bladed Mistress of Arms.
- Speed Run Assassination.
Background
For Background, I chose Urchin for Akame. She gains the skills of Medicine and Survival, Tool Proficiencies of Disguise Kit and Cook’s Utensils, and the Background Feature of City Secrets. This represents Akame’s early life as well as her training to become a lethal assassin.
Race
For Race, I chose Yuan-ti Pureblood (legacy) for Akame. With this race, she gains + 2 to Cha and +1 to Int, Darkvision 60′, Innate Spellcasting, Magic Resistance, Poison Immunity, and Languages of Common, Abyssal, and Draconic.
Class
Akame’s class breakdown is Rogue 1/Monk 5 (Way of the Kensei). It is with these classes, that Akame gains access to incredible mobility, fierce swordsmanship abilities, and enhanced fighting techniques from both class features and feats. This build represents her infamous career as a government assassin before joining the revolutionary army under their own team of assassins called Night Raid. This combination of classes and feats is the best attempt to consolidate her abilities and talents at this level.
Rogue 1 is the starting class for Akame. This class gives her the proficiencies of Sleight of Hand, Insight, Athletics and Stealth, Expertise in Stealth and Athletics, Sneak Attack, and Thieves’ Cant.
Monk 1 is where Akame gains access to the bulk of her sword fighting skills, agility, and defenses. She gains Unarmored Defense and Martial Arts.
Monk 2 is where she gains access to Ki and Unarmored Movement. This will allow her to either attack 2 more times, Dodge as a bonus action, or Disengage or Dash using Ki points.
Monk 3 grants Akame access to the Monastic Tradition of Way of the Kensei and Deflect Missiles. This tradition is where she gains Path of the Kensei, granting her Way of the Brush: Calligrapher’s Supplies, Kensei Weapons of Longsword and Pistol, Agile Parry, and Kensei’s Shot. This represents her incredible close-quarters combat skills.
Monk 4 gifts Akame with the feat Martial Adept and Slow Fall. This feat gives her the special maneuvers of Parry and Riposte, fueled by a single superiority die that refuels on short or long rest. This feat further enhances her defensive abilities in combat.
Monk 5 is the final level for Akame with the features of Extra Attack and Stunning Strike.
With full use of Akame powers, she can perform the following techniques via class features and abilities:
- Master Swordswoman- Agile Parry + Kensei Weapon:Longsword + Extra Attack + Riposte
- Poison Immunity- Yuan-ti Poison Immunity
- Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant- Martial Arts feature + Flurry of Blows
- Expert Wilderness Survival Skills- Survival skill proficiency
This combination of feats, stats, and spells makes this DND build of Akame a decisive slashing blade decimating any foe with her demonic blade in Six levels or Less.
