Player notes
Inanna is a Legendary Watcher tagged with Iria, SoC. In practical terms they cover healing, Act Again, and battery / buff enable. Launch cornerstone support: Act Again, summon utility, end-of-turn heals/buffs. Still excellent and enables SP Inanna's full SP skill routing at 3★+.
Play pure enable until you own SP Inanna—then consider attacker pivot builds that use Convallaria - Blooming Horizon SP skill routing (requires SP Inanna RK1 Convallaria Swordplay + base Inanna 3★). Default support still: Princess' Prayer style Act Again, keep summons up, end turns where passive heals matter.
In the role triangle, lean on free damage into Destroyers. Stars and gear still matter more than matchup alone on hard maps.
Star plan on this page (“3★ minimum for all accounts; 5★ if she remains a core support”) is a budgeting hint: finish the first power spike that stabilizes clears, then reassess against your enabler and main carry before dumping every shard here.

Inanna deep guide
Overview
Base Inanna remains one of the best early Act Again enablers in the game. Even after SP Inanna exists, base Inanna is a fantastic second support and SP skill unlock partner.
If SP Inanna is missing, base Inanna is still a top-tier Watcher for new accounts.
Openers
- Enable the carry after they are in kill range—not before they walk for three turns.
- Keep heals ready for the frontliner who is eating free hits.
- Use faction auras when running Iria/SoC stacks.
- Later: feed SP Inanna routing if both are owned.
Mid-fight
She is the safe battery/healer hybrid. On hard content, double Watcher (Inanna + SP Inanna) is a valid greed board if damage still closes the map.
Investment
High early, still medium later for SP synergy. Staff of Iria / support weapons and battery trinkets. Stars improve enable frequency.
Sample teams
Pitfalls
- Enabling the wrong unit.
- Building pure heal and never pressing offensive support skills.
When to skip
Do not skip early. Only deprioritize shards after SP Inanna is fully online.
From the editor's clears
Base Inanna carried my early account before SP existed and still rides as a second battery on greedy boards.
Is Inanna worth building?

| Basic Attack | Sacred Bolt |
| Reaction | Natural Sword Intent |
| Skills | Princess' Prayer · Summon Knight · Light of Convallaria |

Pros
- Best reroll support in the game historically
- Act Again enable still meta-relevant
- Unique summon pressure
- Synergizes with SP Inanna investment
How to use
Play pure enable until you own SP Inanna—then consider attacker pivot builds that use Convallaria - Blooming Horizon SP skill routing (requires SP Inanna RK1 Convallaria Swordplay + base Inanna 3★). Default support still: Princess' Prayer style Act Again, keep summons up, end turns where passive heals matter.
Star priority: 3★ minimum for all accounts; 5★ if she remains a core support
Gear deep dive
- Weapon — Staff of Iria: Classic Iria support staff for heal/buff Watchers. Prefer it when pure heal/buff Watchers prioritizing uptime over personal damage.
- Trinket — Life Fondness: Support staple for healers and hybrid supports. Best when default healer/hybrid sustain trinket before Great Company.
- Tarot — The Empress: Support tarot for classic heal/buff kits. Take it for pure heal/buff supports prioritizing ally care.

Team plan
Build the party around Inanna as the enabler: one primary DPS (Seeker/Breaker/Destroyer), one frontline Defender, then flex for matchups or faction auras (Iria / SoC). Feed Act Again and NRG into the carry first.
- Open with Princess' Prayer when the board allows a clean cast.
- Keep reaction (Natural Sword Intent) online—do not strip it for vanity actives mid-fight.
- Basic attack (Sacred Bolt) is for reposition turns or when NRG is dry.
- Spend the first enable on your invested carry, not a half-built flex unit.
