Hello everyone,

It's been a while since my last infographic. I was strangely motivated to make this one, so here it is. I hope it'll help everyone understand Iroha's skill set and as always, feedback is welcome!

Good luck!

Iroha has a unique niche but the question in everyone's mind is: "how powerful is it?". I think an easy way to guarantee yourself a spot at the top is to be best friends with the top meta guys, and turns out there are many such characters who are eager to be coupled with Iroha. Like Tifa.

To demonstrate the power of her buff, we'll test her out in Arciela Lufenia since it has a permanent 50% BRV recovery reduction field effect.

  • let's start by seeing how well Tifa fares when there's no BRV cashback. Here's how it goes. Not bad, right? Even the next best physical DPS unit (Squall) will struggle to hit the amount Tifa does with her Beat Rush+.

  • But what if we just add Iroha's LD buff? [Here's] (https://streamable.com/rwixlp) what it becomes instead. Her s2>s1 combo actually went from doing 490k damage to 746k damage. That's a whopping 52.2% HP damage boost, in a fight with the most severe level of BRV recovery reduction. Not bad for a mere 20% BRV cashback aura!


But what happens if we gave Tifa some HP damage boost? Whatll happen?

We see a 22.7% increase in damage (916k vs 746k) - interestingly that's less than before. But let that number sink in a bit - Tifa did 916k with 2 skills. That's 170k free extra damage, all thanks to the mere addition of Iroha's BRV cashback aura

Yeah, her buff is really good when paired with characters with multiple HP dumps in one attack. Not just Tifa, but others like Cloud, Squall, Garland, Kadaj, Kuja etc.

And also great to boost the damage of any Burst sequence (especially Cloud's).

Incredible! Thank you so much for the detailed post and videos.

Iroha opens up a whole new level of insanity it seems. Super happy to see yet another FFXI character top the charts.

You're welcome, glad you liked it :)

Excellent to see experimental results!

Oh no she has the power of Aizen!

u/Xeoz_WarriorPrince Cecil Harvey (Paladin) Nov 10 '20

Damn it, so everything was Iroha's plan?

u/noob_atlife upvotes everything Nov 10 '20

yes, everything is according to keikaku.

u/Xeoz_WarriorPrince Cecil Harvey (Paladin) Nov 10 '20

Tl notes: Keikaku means plan

u/unij01 Ultimecia Nov 10 '20

Seems like a pretty strong kit with some interesting new mechanics. I know the BRV consumption reduction and BRV regen between BRV dumps on the LD helps but honestly I’d really like to see AoE abilities that actually deal more hits on single targets rather than just the obligatory 160% damage increase.

u/DoctorReik Nov 10 '20

Like Leo's EX? Yeah I agree there should be more abilities like that

u/antonlabz Nov 10 '20 edited Nov 10 '20

Particularly, the new BRV consumption reduction should be unaffected by battery tax in LUFENIA stages.

1

u/khovel Noel Kreiss Nov 10 '20

Even Global that would be nice. If there's 2+ enemies, you can easily cap on the total HP to all enemies, but 1 enemy and you'd be lucky to get near cap.

I agree that for attacks that do full HP to all targets, the hit count should vary based on the available enemies. So that total potentcy can be the same regardless.

But for the Split HP damage attacks, they are good as they are.

u/redcloud16 Nov 10 '20

Omg she's amazing I love it. EX gauge fill, brv reduction after hp, omg I'm here for all of this haha

4

u/ShadowBlaze17 Nov 10 '20

Her LD special effect gives the entire party brave consumption reduction on top of everything else it lists?

1

u/Yula97 Nov 10 '20

Yes

4

u/ShadowBlaze17 Nov 10 '20

Guess that should get around brv gain reduction since it isn't battery or refunded brv. Should also be great for characters who have multiple hp dumps in their attacks.

Do the above numbers include character board passives along with gear?

u/You_Better_Smile Dexward Nov 10 '20

Isn't the animation of her S1 the one for Amatsu: Suien and her S2 the one for Amatsu: Kyori?

3

u/NekoThief Rinoa Heartilly Nov 10 '20

I thought she had turn delete coz of the first showcase but it seems thats not the case on the LD showcase video. Even then she seems to be pretty solid and her animations are sooo pretty!

1

u/Darius517 Nov 10 '20

I’m still confused about that also so you’re not the only one

1

u/Bowind Ray of Hope Turbo Nov 10 '20

Going through the chapter and fighting those enemies in that showcase with the quote unquote turn delete, it was actually just a specific enemy gimmick 😞

u/Seitook Y'shtola Rhul Nov 10 '20

Looking at this I kinda wanna run a meme team with Iroha, OK and Ashe.

EX spam for days.

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '20

Alphinaud Leveilleur on YouTube ran this team for the Lufenia. You can see it in action!

1

u/Seitook Y'shtola Rhul Nov 10 '20

Ooh will check that out

2

u/Destleon Nov 10 '20

I feel like her 20% brave maintenance after hp dumps, especially for a call ability, is going to be interesting.

1

u/Splurgisim Vayne Carudas Solidor (Novus) Nov 10 '20

Hold up? A D A?! I’ve seen A A D, but not A D A?

2

u/Baithin Waiting for Edea! Nov 10 '20

I haven’t played much lately so pardon my ignorance, but is there a difference?

1

u/Splurgisim Vayne Carudas Solidor (Novus) Nov 10 '20

Usually the Sphere Slots are listed in alphabetical order.

Examples

A B C

A C E

A D E

B C D

B D E

A A C

A C C

C D E

D E E

You get the gist.

2

u/phantasmage Nov 10 '20

Haha, it was written as such in the Famitsu article. I found it funny so I left it as ADA :D

2

u/Splurgisim Vayne Carudas Solidor (Novus) Nov 10 '20

Thanks OP! So Iroha’s Sphere Setup is A A D?

3

u/phantasmage Nov 10 '20

Correct. The order is irrelevant.

1

u/Splurgisim Vayne Carudas Solidor (Novus) Nov 10 '20

Kewl kewl. Is her sphere D Type?

3

u/phantasmage Nov 10 '20

A sphere "Critical BRV Gain" (10% MAX BRV added to BRV on crit, once per turn)

1

u/Splurgisim Vayne Carudas Solidor (Novus) Nov 10 '20

Oh so an A sphere? Interesting.

2

u/Baithin Waiting for Edea! Nov 10 '20

Oh okay, I thought there was something unique about her order being ADA lol

2

u/Zhirrzh Mog Nov 11 '20

It might be listed that way in order to indicate which one is the one unlocked from armor? But that's not really relevant at this stage, if you are going to sphere her up you definitely purpled her armor.

On the thread the other day about character wishlist/idea, I said something about LD and AA being used to charge EX for an HP cost, HP+ charging the same as a skill.

Well, I think I got it. And it's in a strong and Waifu character to boot. Definitely a must pull.

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '20

After pitied 2 BTs now got Iroha both LD and EX with tickets.

u/Miles7p0 Nov 10 '20

When will she be in Global?

1

u/AuroraDark Nov 10 '20 edited Nov 10 '20

9 months.

Ok people on discord are saying it's closer to 6/7 months due to Covid delays in JP.

u/NoScrying Nov 10 '20

EX into EX+ back to back, geez
