## Tips

* Body Pillow is useful for preserving AZKi's *Virtual Diva* and *Performance* skills.
	+ If AZKi is hit by an enemy that both destroys the shield and damages AZKi's HP, the buffs from *Virtual Diva* and *Performance* remain. Only hits that directly damage her HP reset the skills.

## Trivia

* All of AZKi skills and weapon are based on her status as one of Hololive VSingers along side IRyS.
	+ The use of Diva (Diva Song,Virtual Diva) is directly inspired by AZKi full name and title being Virtual Diva AZKi.
	+ Full Concert, Encore!, Performance are based on her activities at INNK where she primary does real concerts. Extended Covid lockdown and the end of the original project plan for AZKi would results in her transition towards more streaming focus content later on.
* The icon for Virtual Diva is based on the the second iteration of her design by late artist Kogecha.
	+ AZKi's 2nd outfit is the one she is known for after she joined INoNaKa Music(INNK), which was a music label and an independent sub-branch of Hololive.
	+ This outfit would be added to HoloCure as an alternative outfit in Version 0.6.
* AZKi's default outfit for HoloCure with its more idol-like appearance is based on her third outfit design, which was the result of a restructuring of her character and activity (known as "Route Beta", as opposed to "Route Alpha" which would have seen her graduate after finishing a pre-planned timeline of activities under INNK) in early 2021, which eventually led to AZKi joining Hololive as a member of Gen 0, following the dissolution of INNK as a separate entity in April 2022. At the time when AZKi was added in Version 0.4, the third design was her latest outfit.
* AZKi first alternative costume, which was introduced in Version 0.5, is based on her first design before she debuted under INNK.

I only said I want to, not that it has been done. She needs a lot more work than just some tweaks, and will need more time to do that.... AZKi basically needs to be redesigned from the ground up (including new sprites and portrait art for her new look). It'd be like a whole new character worth of work, so that's not makiing it in 0.6.”
