Range: Extended Melee Range
Standard Equipment: The Shingu "Kiriichimonji" | The Teigu "One Slice Kill: Murasame"
Intelligence: Gifted in general, Genius in combat (Akame trained in the art of espionage and combat for eight years within the Danger Beast infested wilderness, becoming a highly skilled killer. Stated to have a natural gift for taking a life by Weneg as she carve him up slow and steady whilst avoiding all attempts of his to make her cut deeper. She is skilled in numerous survival techniques, including how to hunt and gather food, identify dangerous plants, fish, cook, and set up camp in the wild, and was also taught how to administer basic first aid. She is experienced in seeing through people’s bluffs and determining their strategies, and can spot the telltale signs of traps. She has engaged in numerous battles, has learned to use the strategies of many of her adversaries, and knows how to analyze situations and select the paths with the maximum possibility of success. She is adept at observing people's movements to the point where she can determine their preferred paths, thought processes, and courses of action, if she has managed to observe them enough, and due to this, she can even turn opponents' own predictions against them. She can judge a person's strength after facing many powerful foes, and as a result, she can determine how much strength and speed to use behind her attacks. Capable of studying an opponent in order to overcome them, as demonstrated in her fight with Weneg, when Akame analyzed his fight with Green to the point where Wreng admitted that he can’t close the gap between them. Knowing that Mera can easily predict her attacks as Akame got to target her chest to get to the insect hidden there, she decided to scatter her attacks to make it harder for Mera to tell when she is going to aim for the insect. Is able to use the momentum of her attacks in order to quickly set up another attack before her opponent can retaliate, as shown with Mera in their hand-to-hand combat)
Standard Tactics: During her training as an assassin, she was taught to never trust what a target says, for they can use trickery and deception. Because Akame was said to be lacking in a finishing move, she was instructed that each swipe of her sword should be what finishes off her opponent, hence not wasting a single stroke for unnecessary reasons. She was taught to deliver the fatal blows to her opponents as soon as possible, but if she is unsure that she has actually cut her opponent, she will not approach the body just in case that they are pretending to be defeated. She always tends to target her opponents' vitals because of her training. She is skilled enough to fight unarmed, and if she ever loses her own weapon, she can disarm an opponent and utilize their weapons for herself. When fighting against foes with sturdy armors or weapons, Akame will try to shatter them by repeatedly striking in the same spot. She has previously said that she uses Murasame like any other blade because of concern that she may become overly reliant on the Teigu and lose her swordsmanship as a result. However, if necessary, she will make full use of Murasame's capabilities and graze her opponent wherever she chooses. If at all possible, she prioritizes disabling her adversary's weapon when dealing with weapon users in order to render them exposed to her attacks. If she is aware that her opponent is trying to steal her Murasame and that they are incompatible with it, she will not hesitate to let it go and take advantage of the moment the blade rejects them to attack them and reclaim her weapon. She will purposefully evade long-range opponents' strikes by a hair, taunting them into believing they could take her out by getting close so she can lunge at them when they get close enough. She will use fancy footwork to make her assaults more unpredictable if she faces an opponent that can read her average maneuvers readily, as seen with Esdeath. If necessary, she won't think twice about killing adversaries even if they are former acquaintances or the illusions of loved ones. While confronting a formidable foe, Akame will utilize her words to try and disrupt their tactics, sending them into a frenzied rush where their aim progressively deteriorated, as seen in her last battle with Wave. Akame is known to have multiple fighting styles, with conventional swordplay being her main one because it is the least taxing on her body, but if she sees an opening, she will change her sword style to something more eccentric and complex, and she also likes to mix bluff into her exchanges in order to set up a more efficient kill.
Weaknesses: Murasame needs to cut the actual flesh of her opponent in order to apply its effect. This ability only works on organic beings that have a heart, rendering it ineffective against Armor and Biological type Teigu as well as machines, puppets, and dead things. | She tires out faster in Ennoodzuno form

- Akame was seen by Wave, who is right outside the Capital's inner walls, and proceeds to run after her all the way to the outer walls in a short unspecified amount of time.

- [Trump Card]: Was able to keep up with Esdeath and trade strikes with her.

- [Trump Card]: Slightly injured from being kicked by Esdeath twice.

- [Trump Card]: Brushed off being pierced by Esdeath's Weissschnabel, since right after she's pierced, she went jumping off walls.

Skill/Intelligence

- Akame, due to her training, always targeted her opponent's vitals and is still able to fight without using Murasame.

Minor Pre-Cog: Characters in the Akame ga Kill Universe have a minor Pre-Cog ability that alerts them to the presence of nearby danger or murderous intent coming from an attacker.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Kiriichimonji: A Shingu shown only in the prequel series, Akame Ga Kill!: Zero. It takes the form of a katana. It has been stated that wounds inflicted using Kiriichimonji will never heal; otherwise, it has no other abilities.
- One Slice Kill: Murasame (一斬必殺 村雨 Ichizan Hissatsu: Murasame): A long bladed katana with a blade that can kill a person with only one cut. Once the sword pierces skin, a poison spreads into the victim, killing them within seconds. Akame states that cleaning this weapon is very dangerous because of this ability.[41] However, this ability only works on living, organic beings that have a heart, rendering it ineffective against Armor and Biological-type Teigu as well as machines and Yatsufusa's corpse dolls. When slashing an opponent with multiple entities within them, she can decide to severe the life-force of only one of them, killing them in the process without harming the body
- Ennoodzuno: This is Murasame's trump card, said to only activate when it was ready. When activated, she gets black tattoo like markings on her and a dark aura. It increases Akame's physical capabilities to nearly Esdeath's level, albeit at the cost of shorter stamina than her normal state.
Note: Kiriichimonji only negates regeneration on a Mid-Low scale.
Note 2: While Akame was paralyzed by Budo's electricity, this was more due to the nature of electricity paralyzing the muscles. The fact is she withstood the energy output overall.
