I watched my whole raid stall because the support could not keep pace. I pulled Iroi on a whim, swapped modules mid-run, and the fight finished without a single revive. You know that small, electric relief when a plan actually works — that’s Iroi in a live match.
I’m going to walk you through the exact build I use and what I test in Discord threads and Reddit theorycraft channels. You’ll get the cartridge, arc, module layout, and team comps that turn Iroi from a flexible pick into a dependable backbone. Read this like a raid plan: quick, pointed, and copyable.
I benched a carry once because the heal didn’t arrive — Neverness to Everness (NTE) Iroi Build
Short answer first: Iroi scales off ATK% and benefits massively from flat ATK next. If you want her to do more than just keep HP bars steady, stack offensive stats and let her healing ride that wave.
Below is the core setup I recommend after dozens of runs and theorycraft threads on Discord and Reddit:
| Type | Information |
|---|---|
| Arc | The Wrong Gate |
| Cartridge | Speedy Hedgehog |
| Module Stats | ATK% > ATK > DMG% > Crit |
| Team | Shinku, Hathor, Esper Zero, Iroi |
How should I build Iroi in NTE?
You want ATK% first, then flat ATK. Iroi’s outgoing heal and many of her buffs are tied to her offensive scaling, so pumping ATK% moves both your sustain and your damage numbers. If you have a choice between Healing Bonus and ATK%, pick ATK% for raw impact.
What arcs work best on Iroi?
The Wrong Gate is her best arc — it lifts her own ATK and amplifies allies’ damage. That said, Iroi is unusually flexible: You can swap to Youthful Fantasy, Clear Skies, Shiny Days for different playstyles, or Call of the Twisted City if you want the healing dialed up at the cost of raw offense.
| Priority | Name |
|---|---|
| Best | The Wrong Gate |
| Alternative | Youthful Fantasy Clear Skies Shiny Days Call of the Twisted City Fluff of Fleetness |
Iroi is a Swiss Army knife for support — she carries a surprising array of tools if you build the handle right.
I watched a coordinated comp fall apart when the support was wrong — NTE Iroi Teams
When you put her in a four-slot team, she rarely conflicts with others; she augments them. My go-to team is Shinku + Hathor + Esper Zero + Iroi because it covers burst, sustain, and charge flow in a single loop.
| DPS | Sub-DPS | Support/Sub-DPS | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shinku | Hathor | Esper Zero | Iroi |
| Nanally | Jiuyuan | Esper Zero | Iroi |
| Chaos | Hathor | Esper Zero | Iroi |
Who pairs best with Iroi?
Shinku is the headline synergy. Iroi’s ATK buffs and the Speedy Hedgehog cartridge create a rhythm where Shinku gets big windows to deal damage. She also replaces Sakiri in Nanally comps or Haniel in Chaos comps with minimal fuss.
What cartridge and modules should I choose?
| Priority and Stat | Name |
|---|---|
| Best | Speedy Hedgehog |
| Alternative | – |
| Stats | ATK% > Healing Bonus |
Speedy Hedgehog is the cartridge I recommend: its 12% Charge Efficiency is useful and the post-Ult ATK buff for allies is exactly what Iroi needs to pivot a fight. If you prefer more raw healing, you can bias sub-stats toward Healing Bonus, but that’s a conscious choice that trades damage for extra sustain.
| Type | Information |
|---|---|
| Layout |  |
| Bonus Module | Type III — Anima DMG Bonus |
| Sub Stats | ATK% > ATK > DMG% > Crit |
Choose the Type III bonus module for Anima DMG Bonus. It compensates for Iroi’s middling base damage and lets her contribute meaningful offense when needed. Prioritize ATK% then flat ATK, with DMG% and Crit as tertiary picks if you have the slots.
If you’re tracking pulls, use official community tools and feeds: Annulith drop trackers, the NTE Discord, and tier posts on Reddit and Moyens I/O’s guides helped me refine the numbers. Iroi can be the steady pulse that keeps a team alive or the pressure valve that lets your DPS explode.
One more thing — Iroi’s kit feels like a lit fuse: once the timing is right, everything happens fast.
