Is Ayaka Sakai good?
Ayaka Sakai (Chord) is a 
Strategist who speeds up HIGHLIGHT, generating more of its energy and even letting a character use their HIGHLIGHT through her unique Skill. She also buffs Attack and damage and brings some sustain through her Talent.
She's easy to build and works with many card sets, but in teams that don't care about frequent HIGHLIGHTs she does little, and as the meta leans less on HIGHLIGHT, dedicated supports are starting to pass her.
Strengths
- Unique Skill grants an extra HIGHLIGHT
- Easy to build, many card set options
- Adds some sustain
Weaknesses
- Little value when the team doesn't rely on HIGHLIGHT
- Losing ground as the meta moves away from HIGHLIGHT
