At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit during combat and neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, and also, if unit initiates combat and unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd+10, unit attacks twice.

Luna Cooldown Count = 3 Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.

Life and Death 4 Grants Atk/Spd+7. Inflicts Def/Res-5.

Lull Spd/Res 3 Inflicts Spd/Res -3 on foe and neutralizes foe's bonuses to Spd/Res (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.

Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Spd / -Def

The recommended IVs for Ascended Ishtar are +Spd and -Def. She relies heavily on her Spd to obtain the double attack condition.

Her Def is a dump stat and is a safe bane to take.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Ascended Ishtar to +10 for similar reasons above. She needs the Spd to reliably attack twice.

+Atk as another boon

As an Ascended hero, Ishtar can ascend one of her traits for free. We recommend a combination of +Atk and +Spd for an offensive unit like Ishtar.

Ascended Ishtar Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Ascended Ishtar Roles

Ishtar - Echoing Thunder Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Ascended Ishtar is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Ascended Ishtar Strengths

Thunder's Mjölnir is a powerful and versatile weapon

Ascended Ishtar's unique Thunder's Mjölnir is a very versatile weapon with multiple effects both in and out of combat.

Listed below are all of its effects:

Condition(s)	Effect
Always	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count -1).
Ascended Ishtar's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Grants Atk/Spd+6 during combat.
Ascended Ishtar's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to Ishtar's foe
Ascended Ishtar's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on Ishtar.
Ascended Ishtar's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat Ascended Ishtar initiates combat Ascended Ishtar's Spd ≥ foe's Spd+10	Ascended Ishtar attacks twice.

The difference in power when fulfilling all the conditions of Thunder's Mjölnir is immense. Ensure that you fulfill all the conditions to maximize Ascended Ishtar's combat prowess!

Easy to activate Special skills

Ascended Ishtar has accelerated Special trigger from Thunder's Mjölnir and reduced Special charge at the start of turn from Time's Pulse 3.

Additionally, Thunder's Mjölnir neutralizes Guard effects and other effects that slow down her Special cooldown during combat.

These abilities work together to allow Ascended Ishtar to activate Special skills frequently.

Ascended Ishtar Weaknesses

Reliance on fulfilling Thunder's Mjölnir's conditions

Ascended Ishtar's Thunder's Mjölnir relies on meeting all of its conditions for it to truly shine.

When failing to fulfill said conditions, such as when Ascended Ishtar's HP is less than 25%, this powerful tome becomes nothing more than a glorified Thoron+.

Keep Ascended Ishtar healthy at all times to retain her tome's full power!

Ascended Ishtar as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Ascended Ishtar comes with Life and Death 4, Lull Spd/Res 3, and Time's Pulse 3 as inheritable skills.

All of these skills are powerful and worth inheriting onto your favorite units.

However, keep in mind that these skills are also available on other units, and Ascended Ishtar is a very powerful unit herself. Consider keeping one copy of her before using her for inheritance.
