**Panels past 1 do nothing for her Democalypse builds (and even then, panel 1 only helps Prelim). However, this also means she doesn't need a lot of investment to reach her full potential for Democ. This combined with 4+4 fusion paths means it's easy to build multiple Ishtars for different Democ elements as needed.

Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP Democalypse
PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Ishtar.jpg Ishtar
 Red Yellow Teal Yellow 2 1 1 4 3
Pros
  • Extremely high MAG stat. Panel 1 further increases her AOE damage.
    • Due to this, she works very well as an elemental caster for Democalypse, provided you transfer the appropriate elemental spell.
  • Her unique spell Mesopotamian Star deals Almighty damage while auto-casting Luster Candy and Debilitate, allowing her to deal damage while simultaneously buffing and debuffing.
    • This allows her to be used as a manual buffer in Democalypse Boss. Red's Thunderclap synergizes with this in Light Democalypse, letting her deal good damage after buffing.
  • Gains Concentrate in Yellow, letting her nuke even harder.
Cons
  • Very high MP costs.
  • Mesopotamian Star has low base power.
  • Weak to Force (unless Teal) and Dark.
  • Low AGI stat and bad bulk.
  • Panel 4 only activates if she goes second, but she doesn't really have the bulk to survive going second in PVE or PVP.
Notes
  • Regarding Democalypse:
    • Panels past 1 do nothing for her Democalypse builds (and even then, panel 1 only helps Prelim). However, this also means she doesn't need a lot of investment to reach her full potential for Democ. This combined with 4+4 fusion paths means it's easy to build multiple Ishtars for different Democ elements as needed.
    • Despite her AoE potential from panel 1 for Prelim, it's more important to have her manually-buff for Boss. Only consider her for Prelim if Boss's buffing is already handled by someone else.
    • The AI in Democalypse doesn't cast Yellow's Concentrate.

Build(s)

Democalypse Boss - Manual Buffer
ArchRed.png Transferred Skills Notes:

Versatile build for manual buffing in Democalypse Boss. Just replace Ice Age with a single-target spell matching the boss element (note that Red already has Thunderclap for Light, meaning Red could cover two elements).

Make sure that AI tendency is set to Support. Life Brands help influence her AI to buff, while Lead helps her to go second in her team for optimal press turn usage. Check the Manual Buffing guide to make sure her magic attack doesn't get too high, though.
