| 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.
- Brands for manual-buffing should be Life + Lead with MAtk% primaries. Check the Manual Buffing guide to make sure her offensive stats don't get too high, though.
- She should go second in her team for efficient press turn usage. Make sure her AI is set to Support.
- Standard build is an elemental single-target attack + Merciless Blow/<element> boost. Red's Thunderclap lets her cover two elements at once this way.
- The AI in Democalypse doesn't cast Yellow's Concentrate.
