Neverness to Everness Iroi Skills: ATK Scaling, Imagination, and Regression

Iroi is built around support uptime first, then extra Anima damage when her resource and Ultimate line up. The UI may display N.T.E. in some skill screens, but the player-facing character here is Iroi, and her kit makes the most sense when you separate three systems: ATK scaling, Imagination, and Regression.

Iroi’s combat role and main mechanics

Iroi is not a pure healer who only swaps in for recovery. Her healing, team ATK support, ship damage, and Ultimate window all feed into each other, so she can be played as a steady support or pushed into a semi-DPS role when her build supports it.

95-Million-Year Divide pet rewards

95-Million-Year Divide is Iroi’s open-world passive. When Iroi is the active character, she can interact with small animals in the open world to receive a random growth item.

Iroi’s ATK scaling, Arcs, and Consoles

Iroi’s healing gets stronger when her total ATK rises, so both Arc stats and Console stats matter for her support output. This includes ATK gained from flat stat increases and ATK percentage boosts.

The important split is that healing uses her overall ATK, while ATK-based team buffs care about Base ATK. That makes high-Base-ATK Arcs especially valuable for buffing, while Console ATK still improves her heals even when Base ATK stays unchanged.

The Wrong Gate is the premium direction because it supports both sides of her kit: stronger personal Anima damage and stronger team damage after healing. Youthful Fantasy is the budget-friendly support answer when you mainly need Iroi to heal and provide ATK utility rather than push her own damage ceiling.

How Imagination fuels Daydream and Lucid Dream

Imagination is Iroi’s personal combat resource. Older terminology may call the same resource Delusion, but the mechanic is the same: build it through her kit, then spend it on her enhanced Basic Attack flow.

Daydream comes from holding Basic Attack to charge Iroi’s ships, with up to three ships available. Lucid Dream is the follow-up cannon ability; it does not come from normal attacking alone and only becomes available after Daydream.

How to use Iroi’s Ultimate in Neverness to Everness

This sequence lets Iroi charge during the Ultimate animation, then hand off the field while her cannon barrage keeps firing.

Cast Iroi’s Ultimate

Start the dream window so Daydream and Lucid Dream can be used immediately afterward without needing stored Imagination.

Hold Basic Attack during the animation

Begin charging Daydream while the Ultimate animation is still playing, instead of standing exposed afterward.

Release Daydream

Let the charged ships fire as soon as the animation window allows it.

Swap to another unit

Move back into your next character while Iroi continues the Daydream and Lucid Dream cannon barrage off-field.

Regression turns allies into support ships

Regression has two triggers: long-holding Iroi’s Redirect Skill, or having allies fall in battle. In either case, affected allies become ship-like supports that assist Iroi instead of staying available as normal playable teammates.

This is why accidental hold-Redirect use can feel punishing. Once allies enter Regression, Iroi can use them as part of a more main-DPS style field setup, but she does not simply restore the team to normal play on demand.

Her Ultimate can bring back one Regression ally temporarily during the dream window. When that window ends, or when Imagination is fully consumed, the revived ally returns to ship form rather than staying permanently revived.

Iroi’s Ultimate branches and Imagination drain

Iroi’s Ultimate, 3.8-Billion-Year Mirage, creates a dream field that heals allies and drains Imagination continuously. During that dream state, the resource is being spent to maintain the effect, so entering with more Imagination gives the field more room to work.

At lower resource, the branch focuses on healing through the dream field. At higher resource, the stronger Ivory Gate-style branch adds continuous AoE Anima damage and enables the temporary return of a Regression ally during the Ultimate window.

Because the revived ally is tied to the dream duration, Iroi wants her Energy, Imagination, and Regression decisions aligned before committing. Sending allies into Regression too early can leave you waiting for the exact Ultimate window that makes the mechanic pay off.

Blossom, Hotori, and Nanaly interactions

Iroi also has specific value in Blossom-style setups because Vita Bud effects and copies can contribute extra hits during the barrage window. The interaction is fixed by each copied object’s own behavior, not by simply duplicating every modifier from the original setup.

For Hotori teams, the strongest timing is to let Vita Bud copies begin spawning before finishing the Ultimate cycle, so those extra projectiles are already active while the damage window is open.

Iroi playstyle, build direction, and mistakes

Support Iroi wants ATK, reliable Arc value, and team utility first. If she is there to heal, buff, and enable another carry, prioritize the stats and Arcs that keep those jobs consistent.

Semi-DPS Iroi can push into crit rate, crit damage, and Anima damage because Lucid Dream hits many times. That route makes more sense when you are actively using her Ultimate-to-Daydream flow and letting her cannon barrage add real damage while the rest of the team keeps moving.

The common mistake is holding Redirect by accident and forcing allies into Regression before Iroi is ready to spend Energy and Imagination. Regression is powerful when planned around the Ultimate window, but awkward when it locks teammates into ship form without a follow-up.
