Io AI

[Beyondgrave]

Is the AI good with Io? Her terminus weapon is the first one that dropped for me and I've literally never even touched her before. I don't want it to go to waste, so thinking of having the AI control her, but I heard the AI is not particularly good with Io due to her combo mechanics

sadly its not. for example her stargaze AI is pretty wonky. and the AI will try to cast F7 to the full charge everytime until it goes off and without quickcast. better play her yourself shes a lot of fun and a magical girl.

I also saw Io cast her circle buff, but she walked out of it afterwards to dodge an attack...and when she was no longer threatened, she never bothered to walk back into it, yet continued to charge Stargaze.

So yeah, the Io AI isn't anywhere near good, which is funny because SO MANY other characters in the game have really well-written and authentic AI.

You use her for her paralysis and gravity. That's it I think.

[Beyondgrave]

That's what I was afraid of...Damn sucks that her terminus weapon is the one that dropped for me. My main is Narmaya so I was hoping to get it for her or one of my party members. Oh well, back to more farming lol

Good heal and paralysis

Maybe I did something wrong and didn't use the right kit for AI but she did like 50% of the damage compared to (most) other characters with the same/adjusted to be equal gear.

She can't use the circle-buff because she literally steps out of it almost all the time.

Compared to Queen Zeta, I think she deals 20-25% of her damage.

Io is actually my second best AI character, only behind Eugen, above Narmaya, Zeta, Percival, Rackam and Ferry (I have them all decently built).
I found that the AI doesn't use fastcharge, so you want to build her with quick charge and lucky charge. The AI uses skills pretty consistently, so add any fast skills that add orbs (freeze, fire, gravity and the paralisys skill). Add cooldown reducing as secondary skills. This means that the AI rotates the skills (which deal pretty good damage) all the time and call stargaze when it can't. It's usually a lvl 3 stargaze. Also add steady focus so that she can keep charging uninterrupted.
So yeah, she's not support. She's a black mage.

IA AI is great. Also she has high dmg cap on her attacks and skills.

How much damage does your AI Ios do?

I'm really curious.
Zeta AI deals pretty much exactly 30.000.000 in 60s.
My IO is not getting close, what skills would you have to give (or not give) her to get like 20.000.000?

Not mine, but managed to produce the DPS you are looking for. A few of my friends use it, they sometime out DPS my Eugen if they manage to pull of the SBA

Good under the right condition if your main is close range. Stable for farming Terminus. She refuses to participate in link attack when she is charging her attack due to her attack range and standing too far.
Needs Low profile, 2 quick charge, improved dodge apart for the generic ones everyone else uses. Glass cannon also viable but avoid anything that gives her stout heart or drain for AI, she will keep charging and die from continuous damage due to not flinching. She is a very stationary character and not much multi-hit to drain much.
Skills have to equip Lightning, freeze, gravity well. The last 1 can be anything except Concentration. Stationary boss like dragons, P Baha, Pyet-A Flowery 7. Others like Managarmr, Furycane, Gallanza use Fire or Mystic vortex. If you manage to have some skill cooldown, go with Fire
I benched Rackam/Zeta and used her instead towards end game.

I gave her 4 damaging skills and the AI seems to do ok as far as I can tell. Just don't give her Flowery Seven as others have mentioned.

Hmmm...
Are we talking about the same thing? Because that didn't get me close to it.

It's about *AI* Io as a companion. (not full assist or played by yourself)
That build gets me 13.000.000 on her. Maybe 15.000.000 if I'm generous and count the damage the next 5 seconds after that
So not even 50% of what *AI* Zeta as a companion does.

To put Io in perspective, Katalina is very, very bad as *AI* (like 30% Ares uptime at most) and deals 16.000.000-17.000.000

She's not on my personal main roster but she is ok. She doesn't utilize quick-cast, but most AI don't utilize the character's optimal playstyle anyway.

Go for the offensive and simple skills (Fire, Ice, Thunder, Gravity) and since her DMG Cap is low, you can put two Quick Charge sigils along with the usuals (Awakening, War Elemental, Crit Rate+Stamina, DMG Cap, Supplementary and Steady Focus as one of the sub-skills)
