@Haremmony I never said Ringo wasn't good. Just she's not as good a partner as Yuuri. You're mentioning intelligence gathering, but that's not partnering with Akria. That would be something she does solo mostly and separately from the group. She's be hiding and gather info on abilities and then report back after an operation. That's not being a partner. Also the first thing of mine you quoted is not Ringo <.< I said someone -conscious-in other words not knocked out. It was all referring to survivability in those two quotes. We already know Yuuri actually is pretty quick thinking and malleable minded(they were able to change abilities mid battle at an exact moment), so Ringo doesn't provide an 'advantage' there. Literally the only upside to Ringo is gathering abilities form people you haven't seen use abilities. But again they can -think up- abilities they've never seen before as well. So that's not a huge upside. Rigno is smarter yes, possibly a quicker thinker yes. But she's not faster than Akira, so strategizing doesn't get faster, cause it's just faster for Akira to do the thinking himself and then tell them what to do.
So again, Ringo is a valuable asset, but not really anything for a 'partner'. Even if you take Akira's ability into account, the benefit is marginal because they can just think up abilities as long as they are in the game it seems. So just think up and try abilities on their down time to increase their stock.
Edit: In other words what I'm trying to say is Ringo doesn't make Akira -better-, she makes one thing marginally easier, but she doesn't add anything really. Yuuri adds reliable combat potential, decent awareness, and a totally different PoV of the "muscle head" to problem solving.
