2. ✨ Igor's Core Synergy and Performance
· Igor has a unique kit that absolutely requires Lira and Moldier. This greatly influences Igor's performance.
· Igor wants to use his Ultimate every turn, and his damage scales with the amount of shrapnel applied and bullets he possesses.
· Bullets can be gained through buffs, and Lira's presence prevents bullet depletion, allowing bullets to be continuously maintained through the synergy between Igor and Lira.
· Moldier stores additional Moxy and increases Igor's Ultimate rotation through her Ultimate usage.
· Igor gains Moxy when allies perform single-target attacks or use their Ultimates, so Moldier's frequent Ultimate usage is crucial for Igor's Moxy generation.
· Igor needs 8 Moxy to use his Ultimate, and without this synergy, his performance will significantly decline due to bullet shortage, reduced damage, and difficulty generating Moxy.
· Even with an optimal team composition, Igor's performance is not top-tier, and he doesn't rank high on the current CN server damage charts.
· Igor is sufficient for clearing all general in-game content, but you might feel his shortcomings when aiming for high-difficulty content or high scores.

3. 🤔 Igor, Is He Worth Raising for Love?
· Reverse: 1999 is a casual, story-driven game, so summoning a character out of love, rather than for meta performance, is a perfectly valid choice.
· If you truly like Igor and aren't fixated on clearing specific hard modes, it's fine to summon him.
· The essence of the game is to enjoy the story with your characters and complete daily quests.
· However, while Igor might shine in certain high-difficulty content, it's likely to be a temporary situation tailored to that specific character.
· High-difficulty modes like 'Titans of Thought' are expected to be nerfed soon, meaning specific units or teams will no longer be mandatory.

4. 🔄 Igor Team's Alternative Character Options
· If Lira and Moldier are not available, Igor's performance will significantly drop, but alternative characters can be utilized.
· These alternative characters cannot perfectly replace Igor's core synergy, and gameplay might feel less smooth.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Lira Alternative | Gethion: Provides a powerful array that significantly increases damage for Reality damage characters, offering a 40% Ultimate damage increase and debuff effects. |
| Moldier Alternative | Melania: Can gain additional Moxy and helps characters store Moxy. Provides a fixed plan that increases Ultimate damage. |
| Other Options | Flat Page: Provides +1 AP and additional damage, but has poor synergy with Igor's kit. |

5. 🔮 Future Pickup Considerations: Paper Heron and Changer
· When considering summoning Igor, it's important to take into account the powerful characters coming in the next patch.
· Paper Heron and Changer are scheduled to appear in the next patch.
· Paper Heron is a very powerful DPS character, ranking among the top (Top 1 or Top 2) Plant-type characters.
· She can deal immense damage with minimal effort, and her team composition is relatively easy.
· Paper Heron's team utilizes older characters that many users likely already possess, and new users can also easily obtain characters (e.g., Tooth Fairy, Anna Lee) through the 100-free-summon banner or the Euphoria banner.
· Therefore, if your affection for Igor isn't strong, and you don't own Lira and Moldier, saving your summon resources for future powerful meta characters might be a wise choice.
