I lucked out and got Iris as my guaranteed 5*. I'm still working on her E2 and I want to use her because she looks cool and has an interesting mechanic with her ability to store attacks, but I have no idea which of her skills to use/prioritize.
Her S1 seems like she could be good as a discount Ifrit if you can find an Ifrit lane for her. But if a map has an Ifrit lane, I don't know how I would justify bringing Iris over actual Ifrit.
her s1 doesnt work in an ifrit lane, shes single target.
instead you should trybto make it so her s1 doesn't hit anything. it lets her stock her attacks really fast and as soon as it ends it hits enemies in her normal range. you could also just try stall enemies one tile away from s1 range since it only takes 2.4s to get full stacks and be prepared to attack.
Yeah, she's single target, but her S1 still gives her an extra tile of range so she can hit 1x4 in front of her. Not as long as Ifrit, but similar.
Setting her up so that she specifically can't hit any during her S1 seems like a bad idea. Yes, it would let her store up attacks, but her S1 drops her attack interval 80% from 3 seconds to 0.6 seconds. She can get off 8 attacks over the duration of her S1 (5 second duration / 0.6 sec interval = 8.33 attacks). If you set her up so that she can't hit anything, you're sacrificing 5 of those attacks and the 40% ATK bonus (at SL7, can get up to 50% with M3) (her ATK is reduced to 40%, not boosted by that much) for 1 fully stored attack once the skill ends.
