Wished they added her winter coat as a costume, I prefer it over the dress of heaven.
What about justeave? Already in game Sprite design and animations so just slap it on iri and boom outfit
The dress is ok, I just wish we could remove the hat. It looks dumb
As long as they add an Illya version (aka the truest and most completed version of the Dress), I couldn't care less if Irisviel isn't frontline material. She fought her war already and suffered greatly. This revival of sorts is amends for it (as I see it). So she can finally rest with her family and live in relative happiness.
ivanbluecool The only place Justeaze appears in, is a CE artwork.
@@setoman1 fine then black grial iri. Sprite animation and all is already done. Just slap it on iri and call it a day.
The support healer that was out-supported by Medea.
Who was outsupported by Asclepius
The problems with Irisviel are way too numerous to count. She doesn't amplify damage, she sure as hell doesn't DEAL damage, her heals are all tied to skills with really long cooldowns, her NP only heals once and not for a high enough amount, and while party wide guts is good Scheherazade offers the same thing while also having utility beyond that.
Moreover while buff purges are a problem for everyone, Irisviel getting her buffs stripped is a one way ticket to Ahegao City because she's royally screwed. There's no efficient way to improve her since EVERY PART OF HER KIT (except maybe Child of Nature) needs to be buffed for her to be anything approaching broadly useful.
Great mom, though, so 10/10.
I'd argue even Child of Nature needs a buff, along with the rest of her kit, for her to stand as at least decent alongside most of the other welfares we've gotten. Up its NP gain max to 50%, or extend its range to party-wide at its current 30% max for some extra support options, and maybe even upgrade its Invul to be a 3 times Invul instead of just 1T.
They did give Welfare Shiki a Strengthening on JP, so maybe Iri still has a chance for buffs!
idk man... I don't see anything they could add or upgrade to make her more viable. maybe add an np charge to her np and make her guts last longer? idk
@@proposterous2808 Tack a battery (30% or 50%, depending on how big of a buff you want) onto her S1 or S2, up her S2 NP gain buff to max at 50% or extend its range to be party wide at its current 30% max, and maybe consider lowering her S1 CD by 1/2T and/or changing her Invul from 1T to 3 times.
Is Welfare Shiki's event gonna come back anytime soon cause I missed her event and I want her cause shes badass.
@@Grand_Kekthew_ Unfortunately, probably not. Every event so far has only been done twice at most. That being said, Rare Prism exchange might be a thing, since they did do something for Paul Bunyan's event.
@@KreuzDrache What about her saber form is it getting a banner soon?
If Iri had better NP gain, she would be better than Medea Lily. She's still has more viability than Medea Lily. Give her a maxed out Divine Banquet. It helps.
What you know, I happened to mlb my divine banquet. Gonna do epic 100iq iri memes.
Wish her NP also added a atk or def buff or the guys last much longer
@@LoneWolf20213 and she will replace Hans. Poor him.
@@war10zx98 Han's is good, but she can apply gut's, which after Latoria's NP is pretty useful
At least she still has her personality
You didn't mention how for the King Hassan Challenge quest during last years Nero Fest on NA basically required using her for her np. The fight didn't work how we thought it would from JP and so the BB strat was useless. He would target any of the servants on the front line and not just the servant in front. The only way to avoid dying from KH's NP was to make sure all front line team members had guts when he was about to np. At the time, the only servant who could pull that off was Iri.
Not at all relevant for future content, but a fun anecdote nonetheless.
It was because of her that I even beat that CQ. Major stalling with Waver and Merlin had to happen until KH ate up enough assassins. I put in at least 60 turns by the time I finished.
Ah yes, Irisviel, the servant who was perfect for Nero Fest hassan.
Give her a Black Grail, her np does damage.
Will is that true
@@LoneWolf20213 It does damage over time.
To your sanity and patience.
@@raphaelpulmano2212 so not to attack my enemies so she become's more useful
for 2.4k attack? 180IQ
madness EX
I haven't been this lukewarm on a wellfare since Saber Lily
same
At least Saber Lily can farm well. Irisviel can't really do anything.
If FGO didn't have such awful power creep she would still be useful.
@@GeorgeMonet Out of all Gacha games I know of, FGO has by far the least power creep. Irisviel just sucked when she was released. It's unfortunate that they're so reluctant to fix her NP gain like they did to Iskandar.
@@GeorgeMonet No, she was already mediocre on release because a white mage isn't that useful in this game, nor is she spammable for the guts spam strats without significant effort.
Team wide guts is basically giving up hope that you either deal damage to kill the threat, or negate the damage completely in the first place. It's inherently risky and it's a strat to lose less, not win more.
I suspect people who started the game this year would find the safety net reassuring, but even then, things like Hans would be a better investment for a healer or just using typical last stand units like Heracles with bond CE for the final slot would be faster and more expedient.
If the last Nerofest was this year, then she would have a last hurrah for being the ultimate outlasting unit, but that's not the case.
tl;dr : At this point she's just a collector's item.
And Setsubun-style event fodder!
The centerpiece of the Emiya Family set.
Now if I only could get lucky on Sitonai's banner...
@@Mochitachi70 I'll give you some of my luck after the Raikou banner. \ o /
Very good video! I agree on basically everything you've said, especially the part where if you don't have Maid in Halloween, solos get rough.
2:27 I have never felt more validated in my entire life. Thank you, Fino.
Árbol.
Unless you're not actually talking about The tree. In which case, this video still makes me feel valid.
I mean uh wait no I just said it FU-
Jeanne, Irisveil and Tamamo.
Another immortal meme team.
Man, Iri got done dirty. So many better options...
Don't forget Scheherazade has party wide guts on a skill now too, lol 😆 🤣 😜
Worst part was for me at the time of the original run, Iri was my only Gold Caster as all 4 and 5* Casters hated my guts for some bizarre reason. That is until Da Vinci on the 1st Anniversary up and surprised me on a single and she was my go to DPS Caster for a long time.
Me: ......... Where?
(By that i mean: i dont have medea lily (plus she can't spook you, so either story or 4 star ticket), doctor boy Is yet to some and caster artoria Is two years in future. On the other hand... Iri Is here and Is free NP5.)
@@NoOne-ds7pw just take hans if you need a healer. Single merlin from friends list handles most woes.
Iri vs tree when?
I feel like DW will add a meme boss that has uncountable abilities and attacks so things like invincibility immune to invul pierce will be countered. Something dumb like a rider or extra class mysterious heroine that has abilities that become the counter to a few specific things.
No need for that - buff removal bosses already exist in the game
Does debuff immunity counter it?
@@Glauaiv Which is a dumb way to deal with power creep because it affects every support meaning that the ones who were power crept are still power crept. Plus, buff removal block is also a thing. It's pretty clear they have no idea how to balance a design.
It’s true and I can see both sides because power creep breaks the game but how does a game keep everything balanced while adding new characters, there are only so many unique abilities you can add until they becomes a gimmick or too specific to be useful anywhere else. I will say caster artoria is a dumb meme because arts cards and most arts servants are already good so there is no need when most quick servants bad without skadi or some quick meme team. I tend to ignore the balance side of FGO because anything can be a problem depends on how you look at it.
@@prosack2585 It's true that the business model of gacha games does require them to continually add new content, and some degree of power creep is inevitable.
Even the best balance team is going to have things slip through the cracks because of unforeseen interactions or because something turned out more powerful than expected. However, even a minimally competent balance team would have immediately seen that CasSaber was ludicrously over the curve and blow any power budget out of the water.
Yes, anything can be a problem but that doesn't mean that nothing matters and can be ignored. Consider how after Skadi, the first question asked whenever a Quick servant released was "can they loop?". With Skadi disappearing from friends lists and Quick teams being weak without two of her, whenever a Buster or Quick servant is released, unless someone really really likes that character, the question of how viable they are is going to creep in. And of course, it never feels good if someone feels like their favorite character is being neglected.
Games that have new content added frequently really should have a massive overhaul to rebalance and normalize things done periodically. In competitive games it's often done between "seasons". It's kind of idiotic that pierce invulnerability is strictly better than sure hit, and it's even more idiotic that 'super invulnerability' exists at all. A perfect time to do the big overhaul would be after the Lostbelt story arc is over (and more cynically, if rebalances are done periodically there'd be an incentive to roll on a diverse roster rather than just going for the clearly OP picks, especially if what's OP might change every rebalance).
"Fight in lostbelt 3 that violates this rule" Fino says as im murdering the vampire with herc
Honestly I just want her to give Illya a reason to come home.
How odd....this is just a picture with a cup.
Iri needs like 3 strengthening quests for her to be relevant in today's meta, and even then she would only be almost as good as Asclepius. It's so sad that she's the only iteration of Irisviel in the game, and yet they've done nothing to improve her.
Most of the servants introduced from Zero have been pretty much ignored. Outside of skadi support for Zerkalot (who isn't even the top of the quick food chain) and Waver having a 2nd event in casefiles, the rest are just lackluster with no meaningful upgrades ever if at all.
That intro made me laugh outloud and feel sad at the same time. Ezio was my fucking childhood.
Also, imagine not having Altair's armor by that point. LOL
I found Irisviel to be particularly invaluable during that March of the Hassans in that one Nerofest. Ran Da Vinci and a maxed support Medea Lily. Da Vinci nuked everything, tanked debuffs with her immunity, and occasionally died due to instant death effects. Iri made sure Da Vinci had a spare guts at any given moment, and Medea Lily kept anyone else from dying. I managed a no casualty run even at the final Hassan that kills the entire frontline.
i ran medea, made shank all the hassans
The only team I ever find an excuse to run Iri in is the "Grail Team" of Iri, Kerry, and Angra.
No golden sumo recommendation?! 2020 really has been rough on us haven't it...
I hope DW gets off their ass and fixes her first skil by lowering the cool down, making the Heal up better or giving it a decent self battery at the very least.
Poor Iri. I've never used her once since Hans and Merlin covered any healing needed. Honestly healing is pretty much secondary in FGO. All the best supports do a ton of other things and then heal on top of it all.
The ideology in FGO of kill it in 3 turns or find a way to cheese it renders healers and the couple tanks useless in 99% of cases. And the arms race of each new support being even more degenerate leaves me Tamamortifed.
She can carry a lot at the start...she was powercreep a lot but not yet...she needs a heal buff or have her guts having higher hp or defense buff or np battery anything can work.
Remember Irisviel is a welfare where the other servants Fino mentioned are from the Gacha where they fall in the category of being limited with very few banners or story lock and you know how low the rates are in FGO. Unless you are a whale or have good luck and also if you think getting Asclepius is easy then getting the 3 star might be a bit hard than you think.
Oh...I never noticed that Prisma Cosmos has the Red thread of fate as part of the art.
I never tried it, but probably she would work with Hijikata. Because He always should have low life and Guts prevent him from dying.
but healing kinda fucks up his damage
We gonna forget Irisviel is 9 years old and she was raised by kiritsugu for at least 1 year before marriage .
What happens in Germany, stays in Germany
I feel for her. Just being a white mage in a game where white mages aren't very effective is a hard spot to be in. Then you have a strong competitor in Medea Lily out there. And then the coming 3*. But hey...she's a nice person.
Admittedly I forget I have her most of the time, but she's not a bad character. At least there are ways you can work with her in very specific fights. Not ideal, but it is something.
You could have her pair with her daughter's favorite servant to give him more Guts!
Except Umu Caster does that better. Maybe if you're just looking for a level 1 partner with scope that can use the Guts NP and get the hell out with a single enemy attack.
I hope she gets a battery or just.. better NP gain. It's such a chore to charge it up as a F2P.
sighs waiting for fate zero LAP 3 to come out and MAYYYBE then she'll get a BUFF with faster NP gain or STACKABLE GUTS like herc T_T
God damnit
That Feel when skadis NP has a better effect than your NP
A white mage in case you needed one and Medea Lily isn't available. Not bad for stall but not optimal, there are better sustained healers and Merlin is just broken all together. NP is nice for some challenges but that's her only real niche besides burst heals and an invulnerability built in. Stall just isn't that viable most of the time and it's always better to stun or reduce damage rather than pick up the pieces with healing or a guts that's off most of the time (if it could stack on other guts then we might have a case to bring Herc in.)
Damn can’t wait for the Ignore-Invuln-Ignoring-Shield permanent buff on Gilfest 3
Vizinni as a servant when?
Or just all the CQ bosses are the servants with buff removing nps. Like Amakusa, Abby, etc.
The CEO of Crunch having fun with our servants.
Your voice sounds badass 👌
im sad cause i missed the first summer event rerun, i started the game right after, dam that thing just keeps haunting me, rip solo iris memes for me
BUT I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOOD!
I 10/10/10 NP5'd her and got her bond craft essence to go with my maxed out Saber Lily. I get through Lostbelt with Ortenaus Mash and them on my frontline. Were my choices wrong?
If it works, it works
The fun part about this game is that there is literally no wrong way to play. To me, she seems like someone for stall teams, challenge quests, and the upcoming Lostbelts (I feel like LB3 is gonna kick my ass). I plan to upgrade her and use her, cause as of right now my only healer is Martha. But then again, my play style is offense is the best defense. It honesty depends on the player.
She was the MVP of my team in CCC event against Kiara. I feel you, dude
I'd love to see her get a strengthening. It feels like there is plenty of ways she could be taken (Mostly because she's got pretty much nothing BUT healing right now) and she's not exactly a minor in-setting character.
Few things Kerry and Iri has in commons that i can think off. Powercreep by wellfare and a 3 star and got ignored for all these years
She could really do with a buff and an animation update. Shame Maid in Halloween and Halloween Princess never even appear in the rp shop though they're both so old.
And there is Np like Amakusa F U damage trough any and everything of course if you don't have Anti buff removel buff
Castoria may have her special invul however DW without really telling you already has servants specifically prepared to remove or by pass that buff which so far people found Chiron, amakusa, and the 2 Abigail williams. So don't get cocky with Castoria as there will be case her special invul won't work or save you
I wish that in the future, a batch of strengthening quest would only be welfares. Caster Liz, Irisviel, Saber Liz and a few others needs some love.
I remember using her when she came out initially on NA SPECIFICALLY for arts stall teams.
It's been a good while since I've used her though.
2:50 and he's hot. Don't forget that.
Irisviel is great as an evil CE though. She's so useful in challenge quests.😅
That intro had me DEAD
Iri kept my team alive during that King Hassan challenge quest.
Funnily enough, she kept my team alive long enough for King Hassan to solo Goetia as a f2p.
Well at least if you bring her to Chaldea, the Emiya family will be reunited and Shirou will have a positive family to help (kinda sorta) raise him to be a more responsible and less time-travelling suicidal man
So I can never reunite the emyia family (T-T)
Irisviel justeave outfit when. That would be a buff to match testament illya.
I demand justice for Iri, in the form of a RIDER!!
@@ACertainMan dw:too powerful with her anti everything car moves.
But yeah just justeave is fine. Also hopefully the stupid people calm down(again) seeing Raikou and shuten banner coming since they always like to say dw will skip.
I wanted to roll but I rather try for summer 4 if I have tickets
@@ivanbluecool it just isekais anything it touches into another world!!! Come on dw.!??
I already said we will get that banner, since they did the same to Ilya last year, a banner out of the blue with no context.
Costume for Iri would be amazing
@@ACertainMan yeah would be nice. Especially if it's summer where Kerry kills while she has fun.
Okita illya and now raikou shuten for sudden banners. Bur just in case I'll tell everyone I can to just follow he schedule.
Banner wise makes me interested in musashi summer for that aoe zerk I need. I need aoe saber. Aoe zerk. St caster and I'll be set. Saber artoria ssr ticket easy. St illya or xuangzang ssr ticket. Zero mhxa st and riakou or musashi aoe would be fine to balance my account.
Dark iri or the 5 iri would be perfect.
@@ivanbluecool in terms of standard classes SSRs I'm missing an ST saber (Nero bride) ST rider (Tho the SR ones are doing fine) AOE assassin not really interested in any of them AOE zerks not interested in any them, and I have NP3 Fran for nuke damage. My account is fairly balanced. Will see what I do when the SSR ticket drops.
Even Scherazade basically received Iri’s NP on a skill after her rank-up quest too, iirc?
Maybe add an NP battery to one of her skills (maybe the heal effectiveness up) and for the NP add a permanent(or until removed) 500 hp per turn? though if she's decent at staying alive solo for extended periods...would loading her command cards with status effect command codes (poison, burn, curse) help since she does chip damage anyway?
If you guys want her just use kiritsugu as a catalyst
Best team. Emiya family. Team 1 never gonna die Irisviel Kerry hercules to target hercules and his buster guys on jp.
Team 2 magical girls against edgy papa. Irisviel illya sitonai miyu. Fun guts team to charge.
Team 3. Men against cheaters. Irisviel Kerry emiya. Target emiya evade and crit np spam.
Just some fun emiya family teams.
Many people had already asked you where you find those high res CE illustrations you display in your video. And I'm also interested when I can find them.
Mommy milkies
You'd think Iri would be stronger given that whole Lesser Grail thing. Then again, she's only meant to be a key to Heaven's Feel, not a combat unit...
Speaking of meme characters that are destined for the Second Archive, does she work well with Angra? Another semi-regular Guts would be good for Senor Only-A-Servant-Because-Of-A-Technicality, especially once he has his bond CE and his strengthening
Come on, we need to get that turn count to 500.
Castoria's anti invulnerability pierce isn't dumb.
Giving a boss which has an AoE NP that OHKO that pierces invulnerability is what is dumb and bad game design because for most team comps there is no way around this. The number of bosses with invul pierce is way way way too high and the number of servants that can deal with this that a player would want to use is basically zero. So outside of Castoria there is no acceptable way of dealing with this bad game design.
Just stack defence :Kappa:
I must confess that I wanted her for the lvl 4 ascension
Just bc I got her doesn't mean I'll use her, I'm talking about the Holy grail, I keeping one
It's funny how 50-50 welfares are. You either get a Rider Kintoki, or a Saber Lily
You cant escape amakusa shirou, abby, and kiara with arthuria
Listen i don't care if shes mediocre in every possible way, all I want to do is reunite her with her husband, then they can both be useless together.
Any chance you're working on a Saberlot Guide?
Oh yes, that servant that s free and comes at 5NP and isn't story locked.
Never seen a solo featuring her.
She don't need a buff. She need a rework.
I was about to say I stopped farming story for this?
I allways solo with Jeanne using maid in halloween.
i hope they add her event to the rare prism shop in jp i started playing right as it ended
Iri with necromancer
you cant have guts on a servant with necromancy
Only getting her to complete the family in my chaldea
When is castoria gonna get featured again? I only started playing last month but i got some good servants like saberlot, Hercules, enkidu, waver, iskandar on top off my mind.
I wish she was given quests..
If only she could be used as a grail
I'm short on grails right now
I am new to FGO and was wondering what Fino meant by this being the "Last time she is available", does that mean this event doesn't get a rerun or something else?
The ongoing event is the rerun and JP hasn't gotten a third run. So as far as we know, this is the last time she's available.
Will this really be the last time to get her?
by what i've seen of jp yes
I know which welfare I’m not grinding for
Kek 2 of the quests in the Fate/Zero event require you to ascend her
Jake The Reaper that’s why didn’t grind zero
What about reusable arash memes?
yeah now you have 2 servants you have to manage building gauge up for
@@jakethereaper2060 i mean arash has a 5 turn 30 np charge that also heals him, and he has 2 arts cards so arts chains arent too hard to pull off
The best way to use iri is to find someone else better caster
New player here
Can we still obtain the Jean alter lily or Santa altria alter
i wish
No golden sumo no life
So....
I wasted almost two hundred caster embers I saved up for my level 80 skadi for this?
She is a bit good but idk why I always use hans than irisviel
Wait, Skadi has an NP?
Do you get multiple copies of Iri? Or only the one?
you can get multiple copies because otherwise you can level up her np
Thats not a 100% sync Ezio
What do you mean you cant use sumo?
Wait r u telling me she was available for unlock in the event,the whole reason I skipped it was because I thought there was no welfare servant to speak of, why am I hearing in now of all times.Fuck everything.
Why literally use her... When you can just use a support card kill the enemy 🤣🤣
Still waiting on Honako Green to do the Quixotic Tree solo with her.
..... who the fuck uses scadi’s np?
Thirst time
2nd ;-;
