Ishtar			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. 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.

Democalypse Boss - Manual Buffer
	Transferred Skills		Notes: Versatile build for manual buffing in Democalypse Boss phase. 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.
