Iroi is the S-Rank Anima Liquid character arriving in Neverness to Everness Version 1.2 Phase 2. Her banner runs from July 29 to August 19, 2026 (UTC+8). She is a hybrid support focused on team-wide healing, damage buffs, enemy grouping, and a unique temporary revive system. As the game’s first limited dedicated healer, she brings strong sustain and utility that fits multiple team archetypes.

Kit Overview

Iroi builds a resource called Imagination through basic attacks, her skill, and support skill. This resource powers enhanced charged basics or an upgraded Ultimate.

  • Basic Attack (Collaboration): Summons lambs for multi-hit Anima damage while generating Imagination. Charged versions (Daydream and Lucid Dream) consume Imagination for stronger personal damage.
  • Skill (Future Self Continuity / Redirect Skill): Tap to heal the team, grant an ATK buff based on her base ATK, pull enemies together with lamb attacks, and generate Imagination. Hold to force allies into the Regression state. Fallen allies automatically enter Regression. Characters in Regression deal damage using portions of Iroi’s stats but cannot be controlled or use their own skills/Ultimates.
  • Ultimate (3.8 Billion Year Mirage): Opens a dream gate. Without enough Imagination it provides continuous team healing. With sufficient Imagination it becomes the enhanced version that heals, deals AoE Anima damage, and lets you temporarily revive one Regressed ally (who returns to Regression when Imagination runs out).
  • Support Skill (Bang!): Deals Anima damage, heals the team, and builds Imagination.
  • Key Passives: Healing applies temporary DEF ignore (Sympathetic Nerves). She also has Blossom-related utility and open-world exploration benefits.

Her kit emphasizes off-field presence. She spends limited time on the field, focuses on healing and buffs, then lets the rest of the team play.

Should You Pull for Iroi?

Yes for most accounts, especially if you lack reliable sustain or want a flexible support that also amplifies damage.

Pull her if:

  • You need a strong healer for high-difficulty content, Abyss, or comfortable exploration.
  • You already have solid main DPS options (especially Shinku or other Cosmos/Incantation carries) and want to elevate their performance with healing + buffs in one slot.
  • You value versatility. She works across reaction teams (Blossom, Charge, etc.) and provides grouping plus temporary revive safety.
  • You want long-term account value. Supports tend to stay relevant longer than pure DPS in gacha games.

Consider skipping or delaying if:

  • Your roster already has strong sustain and you desperately need a new main DPS.
  • You are saving strictly for upcoming Version 1.3 or later characters and have limited resources.
  • You dislike the Regression mechanic’s risk (accidentally holding the skill can lock allies out of their kits for the fight).

Iroi is not a pure must-pull for every single player, but she ranks as one of the highest-value supports available in 1.2. Many players call her the safer universal choice compared to pure DPS investments when sustain is the gap. Her signature Arc further elevates team damage, making the full package especially strong.

Best Builds

Best Arc (Weapon)

  • The Wrong Gate (Signature, BiS): High base ATK and ATK%. Healing triggers a team-wide Universal DMG buff (around 15%) and boosts her own Anima DMG. This turns every heal into a damage amp.
  • Strong alternatives: Youthful Fantasy (similar ATK stats) or Fluff of Fleetness (CRIT DMG focus for more personal damage).
  • Budget: Clear Skies (A-Rank) for solid ATK and skill/Ultimate Anima damage.

Modules / Console

Iroi gains ATK for each Type III Module. Recommended sets:

  • Speedy Hedgehog (primary support option): Charge efficiency and team ATK buff after Ultimate.
  • Fireflies and the Forest (damage-leaning): Anima DMG and stacking CRIT DMG.
  • Thea’s Night Tavern (pure healing focus): Healing Bonus.

Cartridge Stats Priority

Main stats: ATK% > Anima Damage > Healing Bonus > CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG.
Substats: ATK% > Flat ATK > Universal DMG > CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG.

Healing and many of her buffs scale with ATK, so prioritize it heavily. Adjust toward Healing Bonus or CRIT if you specialize the build.

Skill Priority

Skill > Ultimate > Basic Attack > Support Skill (or Ultimate first depending on source preference for rotation frequency). Focus on the skill for consistent healing and buffs, then Ultimate for big heals, damage, and revive potential.

Awakening Priority

Prioritize nodes that improve team support and Imagination generation (commonly A3, A5, A6 or similar high-value traits that boost healing received, add ATK buffs based on her stats, and improve revived allies).

Recommended Teams

Iroi shines as the sustain/buffer slot.

  • Shinku Hypercarry: Iroi + Shinku (main DPS) + Chaos or Hathor + Zero/Hathor. She enables safer on-field uptime for Shinku while providing heals, DEF ignore, ATK buffs, and grouping.
  • Anima / Blossom focused: Iroi with Nanally, Zero, and a grouper or sub-DPS like Jiuyuan or Hotori.
  • Flexible / F2P-friendly: Any strong DPS + Iroi + Jiuyuan (grouping) + Zero (cycle support). She makes mid-tier teams far more consistent.

She pairs especially well with characters who benefit from staying on-field or triggering frequent reactions.

Final Verdict

Iroi is a high-value S-Rank support who solves sustain problems while contributing meaningful damage amplification and crowd control. If your account needs better survivability or you want to invest in a flexible unit that elevates multiple teams (particularly Shinku cores), pull for her. Prioritize at least one copy; her signature Arc is a strong follow-up if resources allow.

Build her ATK-focused with Speedy Hedgehog or equivalent support modules, equip The Wrong Gate when possible, and enjoy the comfort of reliable healing plus team buffs. She should remain a staple for difficult content well beyond Version 1.2.
