Igor — Review & Analysis
Igor is a 6★ Beast-Afflatus Reality DMG carry built around piling [Shell Fragment] onto enemies and then detonating it with his ultimate. Incantation I is an AoE hit that feeds Moxie and applies [Shell Fragment] to the main target, while Incantation II collects [Bullet] types to self-buff through [Sand Table Tactics]. The ultimate deals 900% AoE plus another 900% to the main target, gaining +25% per stack of [Shell Fragment] and extra Ritual Power scaling per [Bullet] type held — a burst bomb that clears waves and deletes single targets at once, and it ignores Evasion.
- The ultimate scales twice over: +25% DMG per [Shell Fragment] stack plus added Ritual Power scaling per [Bullet] type held, giving huge burst once stacks are up.
- Clears in AoE while nuking the main target (900% plus 900% extra), and it ignores Evasion so hits rarely whiff.
- Strong self Moxie generation (Insight I/III plus +1 on every Incantation I), so the ultimate comes online fast with little outside feeding.
- Being Beast-Afflatus he counters Plant (+30% DMG), and the more Beast allies present, the thicker the [Shell Fragment] he applies.
- Needs ramp-up: he must stack enough [Shell Fragment] and collect [Bullet] types before unleashing the ultimate, so early-battle damage is thin.
- Beast is countered by Mineral, so against Mineral enemies he loses his edge and takes extra DMG.
- The [Bullet] types gained from the [Armory] are random, and full value requires a Beast-Afflatus lineup with matching supports.
Level the ultimate first since it is his main damage source, then Incantation I — the skill that stacks [Shell Fragment] and feeds Moxie for the burst chain. For Psychubes, go offensive: ATK and Crit, or pieces that amplify DMG when the ultimate fires, to maximize the burst payload; skip healing or defensive Psychubes since Igor is the team's core damage dealer.

Where to Get
Teams with Igor
Lopera, Mondlicht and Igor all tap into Bullet together with Crit — combining it across three kits at once outperforms any single carry doing it alone. Sentinel keeps the line-up alive with Shield so that payoff has time to land.
