Guide

Character Intro

Shiromi Iori is the strict and upright guardian of the Prefect Team who goes out for patrols around the Gehenna Academy’s District and catching troublemakers causes more than enough chaos.


Character Overview

Iori is a Piercing Sniper student that deals extremely powerful single target damage with an added small cone of AOE damage.

Iori is your go-to Heavy Armor destroyer in most situations you’ll need to use her in. The reason for that is due to how much damage both her EX Skill (Major Roundup) and her Basic Skill (Bounty) can deal in a burst.

Her EX Skill deals three extremely powerful shots that blasts an AOE attack after it hits, allowing her to clear crowds.  

The rest of Iori’s kit is to improve her capability to deal more damage against her enemies.

Her Enhanced Skill (One-shot Bullseye) increases her Accuracy Stat. Accuracy is more revelant in PvP due to the abundance of evasion tanks. While her Sub Skill (Prefect Team Nerve) deals extra damage on target if she is not behind cover.

In higher investments, Iori is the premier Piercing damage dealer with how much damage she can output with her EX Skill. With her Unique Weapon at Lvl 40, her Enhanced Skill (One-shot Bullseye+) Gets a flat Accuracy buff.


Strengths

  • High usage rate on raids and general content
  • High single target and AoE damage
  • Farmable (Hard 14-3)
  • Low cost EX skill

Weaknesses

  • Heavy armor makes it hard to place in insane raids.

Enchanced Skill

Iori’s Enhanced Skill allows her to hit targets with high evasion.

Accuracy is more relevant in PvP due to evasion tanks being prevalent

Character Notes

  • Although Iori is able to put out high amounts of damage, having Heavy armor can leave her vulnerable to being nuked by some Insane raid difficulty bosses. Position her well when you are using her in such raids.
  • When using EX skill Iori will move in a set pattern, this allows her to dodge some hits from AOE attacks. 

Conclusion

Iori is the premier Piercing damage dealer and is your goto pick for Heavy Armor content. The amount of damage she deals with her EX skill is so high that it should be no surprise that she is a staple in Heavy Armor Raids and general content.

The bonus Accuracy buffs she can get on Unique Weapon Lvl 40 should be enough to have her frequently hit even the most evasive targets. This is most useful in PvP when dealing with targets like Tsubaki, Atsuko, or Yuuka.

How Much Should I Invest?: It is highly recommended to get Iori to Unique Equipment Lvl 30 to get the best out of her if you are dealing with general content. However, If you have spare AP from dailies, you should farm Iori Elephs from Hard Stages and get her to Unique Equipment Lvl 40 or 50 as this will give Iori a decent to her damage either from increased ATK stats or through the Terrain Advantage Bonus. 

Should you pull on her banner?: Not recommended to pull, she's part of the standard pool and is also farmable.
