Guide🔗

Note: The following is NamuWiki community opinion (KR server). No explicit S/A/B tier rating is present in the text.

Overall: A Frost-type front-line supporter for Pandragon parties who can provide damage, support, and debuffs all at once. Playstyle varies greatly by class, but she is a Pandragon-party-exclusive supporter: she needs Pandragon party members and shows her full potential the more Pandragon members are present. Awakening her unique-skill enhancement grants the "Undying Glory" buff that raises stats greatly with more Pandragon party members, so she supports while also dealing excellent damage, becoming a self-sufficient "deal-porter."

• If highly awakened enough to run Veil of Grief while playing broadly: Sword Master
• If prioritizing PvE raids and firepower: Fade Sword
• If throwing her into enemy lines as a damage-increase totem in PvP: Oblivion
• Since she is Light attribute (attribute-agnostic), she fits anywhere in a Pandragon party, but pairing with Frost-type siblings to stack Cold Slow into Freeze is ideal. Best is teaming with SungSeed for the strong Pandragon buff, so a Blue-attribute party is most fitting. Blue has the Frost burst dealer Ice and heal-tank Commander Siren, so 4 best members are locked; the last slot is Crow (also Blue), or other Blue chars (Catherine, Mary, Light-Iolin, Duran, Dark-Ophelia). Best last picks are Crow (high base stat, has a revive) or Ophelia (supplements magic-power damage, provides Frost debuffs via Ice Missile/Moonlight/Glacial Meteor). There is no Pandragon-attribute healer aside from roughly Commander Siren, so if a dedicated healer is essential pick one of Rina/Nina/Morgana.
• Usable outside Pandragon parties too, but potential drops sharply; since the dedicated weapon's trait needs to be used, keep at least 1 Pandragon member. Best to treat SungSeed + Iyolin + Commander Siren as a 3-member set. In a party with no Pandragon members, better not to run her at all.

Passive: A passive that applies unremovable def/resist reduction with no cost, gains crit advantage against enemies holding the debuff, and grants an extra action on kill. It is somewhat reactive (she or a Pandragon ally must be attacked first) but the guaranteed extra action on killing a Yoke-marked enemy is strong. Does not trigger on counterattacks (same as her youthful version). Compared to the youthful passive, the Geissir-only condition for applying the debuff is gone and it now works when Pandragon allies are attacked, greatly improving versatility; the extra action is now guaranteed (vs probability at low awakening before). Against PvE mobs she gets an extra action on every kill even without the Yoke, aiding story stages. The extra action gained a cooldown (age), but awakening reduces it, and full awakening (completing unique-skill enhancement) removes the cooldown entirely; in PvE this means an extra action on every kill ("still my turn"), so on stages where a basic attack one-shots enemies, fully-awakened Iyolin can solo-clear all enemies in one turn.

• Undying Glory buff (via awakening): max 2 stacks, permanent, unremovable. 2-awakening passive: per stack ATK +10%, max HP +10%. 4-awakening: per stack ATK/max HP/co-op damage +15% each. 6-awakening: per stack ATK/max HP/co-op damage/AoE skill damage +20%.
• Veil of Grief artifact is a huge highlight: it grants a stackable buff cutting ranged damage 100% and heals while held, forcing opponents into the close combat where she shines. It can be pierced by added-damage attacks like a gunner's magic bullet, but otherwise it is a very powerful artifact.

Classes:

• Sword Master (soul-master): a common class (also had in youth) that gives ATK up, crit-rate up, damage reduction, and self-heal, but only during combat. Weak to AoE, though high-awakening Iyolin's Veil of Grief (limited-use 100% ranged reduction) makes her strong even against AoE (ranged-judged). Most melee/ranged attacks in this game are "combat"-type, feeding the class passive, so it synergizes well.
• Fade Sword: learns the main damage skill Soul-Reaping Flash. Movement 1 grants +10% ATK and crit rate; gains "Faded Faith" buff when attacking but not killing an enemy. Faded Faith: stun/skill-control immunity, up to -40% received damage; if held at end of action, once per turn reduces all normal skill cooldowns by 1 and gains 1 TP; 2 turns. Sword-user classes have base movement 3, so effectively +30% ATK/crit. Very good buff, but downside is you must NOT kill the enemy; great in raids/world bosses where bosses don't die, so it's PvE-leaning. No unremovable tag, so weak to buff-strip. Recommended #1 to raise since it holds the main damage skill.
• Oblivion: learns Blizzard Sanctuary; needs no adjacent allies for up to +30% ATK/phys-pen; after using a skill with an enemy within 2 tiles, up to -30% received damage until next turn and spreads a "Void Boundary" aura within 2 tiles. Void Boundary: phys/magic pen -15%, received damage +15%, unremovable. Only class without crit-rate up, gets phys-pen instead. Aura only forms on the turn a skill is used and vanishes next turn, so she must move first and use a skill amid the enemy line.

Key skills / Ultimate:

• Blizzard Sanctuary: TP 4, cooldown 3. AoE Frost damage + Glacial Veil shields; applies Cold Slow. TP cost permanently -1 each time attacked (max 3 times), eventually usable at TP 1. Highly recommended if you have the dedicated weapon.
• Soul-Reaping Flash: TP 2, cooldown 2. Main damage skill; choose Soul-Reaping Chain-Flash or Soul-Reaping Flash-Wave. Neither has combat attribute. Note: "additional attacks" are not "extra hits," so not affected by whetstone.
• Passion of Thorns: no TP cost, cooldown 2. Gain the effect until next turn: counter-immune, banish-immune, TP-removal-immune, -50% received damage from melee; after taking a melee hit, copies all own debuffs onto attacker and reflects 100% ATK physical damage; on removal, clears all own debuffs and +1 TP. A reflect-type counter; best used loaded with debuffs and paired with Oblivion. Weak against buff-removal. AI likes it (no TP), but it wastes a turn in boss raids, so do not run it there.
• Sprint: TP 1, cooldown 2. Extra action + crit rate +15% this turn. Worth taking with Oblivion+Passion of Thorns to reach the enemy line. Not a movement-boost skill, so does not combo with Fade Sword's passive.
• Musang Piercer: TP 2, cooldown 4. 170% single-target, heal 50% ATK on crit, advance into enemy's spot on kill. Only self-heal skill, high multiplier, high value in raids.
• Ultimate Snowtale Soulless: a "soul"-type ultimate, the Frost-type equivalent of Flying-Swallow Slash. Charge 5 tiles in a chosen direction over a 3x5 range dealing 105%-130% Frost damage and applying Cold Slow; if it hits but does not kill and an enemy is adjacent after, +1 TP and gain an extra attack or skill use. Her only charge skill; strong synergy with the dedicated weapon (Frost AoE + action-control + Frost debuff triple set).

Dedicated weapon & recommended gear:

• Last Oath, a Sword Stick. Extra stats: crit rate + phys pen. When attacking an enemy with a Frost debuff, crit damage +10%-15%; with a skill-control or action-control debuff, received AoE damage +10%-15%. If used by Iyolin with at least 1 non-self Pandragon ally, grants Vow of Falling Petals: preemptive attack; on AoE, phys pen +20%-30% and attribute damage +20%-30%; single-target skill damage +25%-50%; unremovable. Awakening only raises numbers (notably the single-target damage bonus), no new effects.
• Armor: choices vary by class/build; favor ATK-scaling armor since many skills scale on ATK. Problem: dedicated skills lack combat attribute, so 4-set Windcloud or 4-set Ilgidangcheon aren't auto-picks. Sword Master -> Windcloud 4-set (HP + in-combat ATK + heal); high-awakening w/ Veil of Grief -> Assassin 4-set or Ilgidangcheon 4-set, or Assassin 2-set + Ilgidangcheon 2-set for firepower. Fade Sword for raid burst -> Assassin 4-set / Ilgidangcheon 4-set / Assassin 2-set + Ilgidangcheon 2-set. Oblivion -> Windcloud 4-set (needs survival), or Myeonggye 4-set since pen is covered.
• Accessory: ATK accessories and defensive/survival accessories both good. Baseline is the usual "Go-Young-Ban"; also Guardian's Amulet and Cursed Eye for survival. Hero-grade: Golden Dice, Wolf Fang, or even Steel Greaves for survival. Note: the "Penitent's Hairband" does not suit her at all since she can apply no duel-attribute debuffs.
