Should You Pull for Iroi?
As of now, Hotta Studio has not officially revealed Iroi’s entire kit or role. Without confirmed skill details, it’s difficult to make a firm recommendation. However, if you’re a collector or you like her design, it’s safe to hold onto your currency until her full preview drops—usually a day or two before the banner. We’ll update this article with a detailed pulling guide once her abilities are known.
In the meantime, the first-half character Shinku has already proven to be a strong addition. Check out our Shinku Best Build and Teams guide for team-building ideas.
Version 1.2 Phase 2 Events
Alongside Iroi’s banner, the 999 Nights board game continues to be the main event for version 1.2. If you haven’t explored it yet, there are several useful guides available: how to unlock Shinku’s Ultimate, how to remove the Chocolate Volcano red barrier, and how to sell items and gear. These can help you progress faster through the seasonal content.
Final Takeaway
Iroi’s debut is just around the corner. Plan your resources, mark the maintenance window, and get ready to welcome a new character into your squad. For ongoing coverage, keep an eye on the NTE news hub.
