Irina Best Builds

Irina Full Support Build

This Build will take advantage of Irina's best advantage, her support Arts. Her access to several powerful healing and TP-related support arts make her dynamic as a support character.

Best Arts

Arts (Right)

Irina's arts will mostly focus on providing TP to her teammates that will deal the most damage while keeping them alive with her wide range of support arts. Use Last Stand, Smooth Recovery, Energy Source, Absorber Skin and/or Repair as your primary arts.

Irina isn't the tankiest support however, and may need to support herself with arts such as Medic Free or Full Specs to improve her own survivability and give her some damage buffs. Her offensive arts should preferably be ranged due to this, like Flash Grenade or Quick Cannon as last measures.

Note: This build assumes Irina won't use her Psycorruptor+ arts related to the Sleep and Control status, as the effect is rather hit-or-miss in-game.

List of All Arts and Effects

Best Skills

Rank	Skill	Effect & Class
8	Inner Search	Boosts potential
11	Healing Touch	Boosts HP recovery of party members when you revive
13	High Tension	Boosts maximum TP
16	King's Decree	Increases Debuff Tier +1 on enemies, reduces Control res

Irina's skills are a bit underutilized under her support build. She is best used with Inner Search, Healing Touch and High Tension to enhance her buffing and support capabilities. The last slot can be a free slot for her other skills.

List of All Skills and Effects

Irina Psycorruptor Build

This alternate build is for people who wish to utilize her Sleep and Control effects. Do note that while these can be strong in their own right, most targets will be unaffected by these statuses by late-game.

Best Arts

※ Hover over the arts and skills to see their names and effects

Arts (Left)
Arts (Right)

This build is meant for Irina as a direct unit dealing status effects to targets or controlling them to the advantage of the player. Screamer, Brainjack and Servant Sacrifice are amazing arts for this matter. Add some support and last use arts like Assault Hammer and Full Specs to aid Irina's own survivability in this role.

She can still provide support with her access to her support arts in this build but at a limited capacity.

Best Skills

Rank	Skill	Effect & Class
8	Inner Search	Boosts potential
13	High Tension	Boosts maximum TP
16	King's Decree	Increases Debuff Tier +1 on enemies, reduces Control res
18	King's Boon	Grants All Abilities Up to Controlled Enemies

She has a very similar choice of selections for the skills under this build however, skills like King's Decree and King's Boon can be selected to better aid her with Sleep and Control effects.

Best Role During Combat

Irina as a Direct Support

Irina works best as party support and can be one of the player's potential mainstains till late game, where her flexible healing options with Smooth Recovery and massive TP regeneration with a fully-upgraded Last Stand can basically allow her to infinitely boost the team's TP while also keeping them alive.

She also has access to Energy Source which boosts a party member's Potential, the stat that controls TP Damage while Absorber Skin provides a Barrier for teammates. Her access to these powerful support skills make her one of the best characters to use in-game.

Irina as a Balanced Psycorruptor

While Irina can be amazing at utilizing her Psycorruptor capabilities in-game and she will be able to utilize skills unique to this, her skills and arts will fall off at late game where her buffing potential is better used.
