Irisalis build: Dance Power, EP, stats and teammates

Irisal is a Grass-element Aniimo in the DPS role, and its trait grants 1 point of Dance Power each time one of its skills deals damage. The count goes by hits, not targets. A skill that strikes a whole group gives you the same single point as one that hits a lone enemy. Spreading damage across a pack does nothing extra for your stacks. What matters is how often your skills connect.

At 24 points, the next skill costs no EP. That is the payoff for a creature with high EP requirements. Irisalis also has a passive ability that reduces EP consumption, so between the passive and the free cast at 24, much of her kit exists to stop her running dry.

Your clones help too. Each volley from an Irisalis (Bloom Cluster) clone grants one Dance Power, so keeping clones out and firing builds stacks while you keep casting.

Once Irisalis builds enough charge (Dance Petal stacks), she can fire an empowered Focus Beam. Casting a zero-cost Focus Beam at 24 Dance of Power stacks also increases its attack range.

That makes the rhythm simple. Land hits, let the clones add their volleys, reach 24, then spend the free cast on Focus Beam so you get the extra range and pay no EP for it. For a ranged DPS, more reach means you can hit from further away and stay out of trouble while you do it.

For Capability Awakening, prioritise Attack, then Regen, then HP. Attack comes first because she is a damage dealer. HP is the lowest of the three and sits third.

Regen ranks above HP for a specific reason: her playstyle repeatedly spams one skill. With high EP requirements and a loop built on casting the same skill again and again, recovery keeps her going between free casts. How the awakening system itself works has its own guide on this site; for Irisalis, all you need is the order.

The Floral Rainbow Feather adds 30% damage amplification. It applies to Irisalis and to her summoned clones, so each clone deals 30% more damage.

At tier two, the per-clone bonus stacks up to three times. Clones already feed her Dance Power with every volley, so the Feather makes them a bigger share of her damage while they help build her stacks.

Pick teammates who solve her EP problem. Leafy is a top-priority teammate, supporting the team with Grass and EP support. Somni Wing is used in Irisalis teams for resource management through Eternal Lightwave.

The rotation opens with Turbo, whose four basic attacks apply its damage and break buff before Irisalis starts working. The full Grass team, including the rest of the lineup, has its own guide on this site.

06Where to start

Build Irisalis around reaching 24 Dance Power as often as you can. Awaken Attack, then Regen, then HP. Equip the Floral Rainbow Feather so her clones hit harder, and bring Leafy and Somni Wing to handle her EP while Turbo opens the rotation.
