>>25248303For anyone who hasn't had the "fun" of going against a Sableye, here's some calcs of what AkyuuD can hold up against focus-wise. These are all with a Blue Mark and max HP/Focus defense investment for AkyuuD at level 50, after landing a priority Will-O-Wisp on an opponent.
252+ Atk Straw Doll darkened AyaP Shooting Arts (5 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def AkyuuD: 60-70 (35.9 - 41.9%) -- approx. 36.7% chance to 3HKO after Food Rations recovery
AyaP cannot outdamage AkyuuD's First Aid Treatments after being wisped even if she has a Straw Doll. Note that this is post-expansion only, because pre-expansion AyaP has Rush Attack, which is spread-based.
252+ Atk Miracle Mallet darkened SukunaD Chrysanthemum Water vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def AkyuuD: 52-62 (31.1 - 37.1%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Food Rations recovery
252+ Atk Strategist SakuyaP Overtake Strike vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def AkyuuD: 49-58 (29.3 - 34.7%) -- 99.9% chance to 4HKO after Food Rations recovery (this is before burn if SakuyaP opts for priority, as she outspeeds)
252+ Atk darkened SakuyaP Changeling vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def AkyuuD: 38-45 (22.7 - 26.9%) -- possible 5HKO after Food Rations recovery
+1 252+ Atk darkened EllyP Fiery Foehn Winds vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def AkyuuD: 66-78 (39.5 - 46.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Food Rations recovery
Mad Rush Stance variants of EllyP can't 2HKO AkyuuD after a burn, even if they do get a boost off (which is hard since AkyuuD has priority Taunt). Some EllyP variants run Gigantic to deal with SukunaD, but without some hefty spread investment it won't even come close to 2HKOing AkyuuD.
+1 252+ Atk darkened JunkoP Luminous Flux vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def AkyuuD: 67-80 (40.1 - 47.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Food Rations recovery
Even though it's her strongest attack, Luminous Flux is rare on JunkoP and it can't pierce AkyuuD's defenses even after an Imposing Air. She'll kill herself with recoil damage + burns before she downs AkyuuD.
