AKAYUKI Character Menu: Open It, Roll a Family Name and See Buffs
Find CHARACTER on the title screen, learn where family-name rolls happen, and understand the rarity labels and buffs shown after spinning.
Select CHARACTER on the title screen to open the Character menu in AKAYUKI: Steel Blossoms Red, then use the family-name roll.
After the spin, read the rolled name’s full buffs to see the stat benefits it provides. Viewing full buffs after spinning was added in update 1.3.11.
Recognizing the character customization screen
During initial customization, the screen is headed HAIR AND OUTFIT. It displays your character’s name with a rarity tag; one example is Sato Miyuki, marked COMMON. That is an example of how the name and rarity appear together, rather than a name every player should expect to have.
The customization screen includes tabs labeled HAIR / OUTFIT / ACCESSORY / FACE / SWORD / BLOOD / EFFECT. Its footer gives the important return instruction: “Appearance and name can be changed later: CHARACTER on the title screen.” You can therefore return to character customization after your initial setup to change your appearance and name.
What family-name rarity and buffs mean
Family-name rolls draw on the names of famous historical samurai. These names have different rarities, and rarer names provide stronger stat boosts. The rarity label is useful for recognizing the tier of your name, while the full buff display after a spin explains the benefits of the result itself.
Read those buffs when evaluating a roll. The name identifies your result, the rarity indicates its tier, and the buff details show what it gives your character. For more about this progression system, see the family names guide.
Rolling for a stronger family name is one part of progression alongside improving your blade at the forge. The Character menu is the destination for family-name rolls; blade improvements belong to the forge. The blade upgrade levels guide covers that related progression path.
Recognizing Rename Spin rewards
RENAME SPINS can appear among combat rewards alongside XP. One Level 3 combat result after a three-kill streak awarded +4 RENAME SPINS. That example shows the reward label to look for when checking what you earned from combat; it does not establish a fixed payout for each kill or fight.
