To give you the conclusion first: I recommend pulling if you can. Beyond her solid performance, the most significant factor is that Iloy is the first limited Supporter to appear in E-Hwan.

Until now, the Supporter slots in E-Hwan have been held by Sakiri and Haniel. While both are top-tier Buffers, they lack healing capabilities, and Edgar, a pure Healer, has been considered low-tier due to his negligible contribution to damage and utility. Iloy perfectly fills this gap, as she provides healing, Attack buffs, crowd control, and defense shred all in one character.

It is also worth noting that Supporters are generally less affected by power creep than damage dealers. While a new damage dealer might threaten the position of an existing one, a Supporter who bolsters the entire party tends to remain relevant for much longer.

Iloy is indeed designed with Shinku's team in mind. Replacing Nanari with Iloy in a standard Shinku party completes the setup, and the combination of Attack buffs, crowd control, and Blossom replication significantly boosts charge efficiency.

However, not having Shinku doesn't mean she has nowhere to go. She performs well in Blossom compositions centered around Nanari, and even if you don't have a Blossom party, she fits perfectly into a Lacrimosa hyper-carry team. Her skill set—healing, Attack buffs, and crowd control—is versatile enough that she isn't restricted to specific parties.

The fact that she has three viable team options is a major advantage for a limited character, as it ensures she remains useful even if a specific composition falls out of the meta.

Iloy's signature Arc is 'Forbidden Gate.' At level 80, it provides 570 Attack and an additional 30% Attack, with a Arc effect that increases Attack by another 16%. Furthermore, when the wearer triggers healing, their own Spirit-attribute ability damage increases by 30%, and other characters in the party gain a 15% general damage increase. The effect lasts for 20 seconds; it does not stack, but the duration refreshes upon re-triggering.

While the stats look attractive, it is not worth going out of your way to obtain. Some argue that in Shinku parties, Zero and Hathor contribute little to damage, limiting the beneficiaries of the party damage buff. However, the variable is that Iloy lacks a suitable alternative Arc; if you don't give her the signature one, there isn't much else to equip. If you have the resources, it's worth getting, but if it's a burden, it's perfectly fine to just secure the character (0-Awakening) and use a Arc with high Attack or healing options instead.

Awakening is not mandatory. Iloy provides healing, Attack buffs, crowd control, and defense shred even at base level. This means her role in the party remains unchanged without Awakening. Since she isn't the type of character that requires Awakening to function, it is more efficient to prioritize her signature Arc over spending resources on Awakening.

If you are still considering Awakening, the order of impact is: 5-Awakening > 1-Awakening > 2-Awakening > 4-Awakening > 3-Awakening > 6-Awakening. The 5-Awakening is the top priority because it adds a party Attack buff to her healing. Since the structure links buffs to her rotation, it increases the entire party's damage output. The subsequent 1-Awakening allows her passive gauge, 'Delusion,' to charge while off-field and start at maximum upon entering battle, which aligns perfectly with Iloy's playstyle of using skills and swapping out. This is more of a quality-of-life improvement than a raw damage boost.

Iloy's pickup banner runs until 6:59 AM on Wednesday, August 19. As this marks the end of the second half of version 1.2, you should make your decision based on the time remaining.

E-Hwan does not yet have a wide pool of Supporters. Given that Iloy is the first limited Supporter and can be slotted into three different compositions, she is well worth the cost just for her base form. Conversely, if your party is already complete and you are saving for the next character, skipping her is a perfectly reasonable choice.

If you still find it difficult to decide, it is not too late to wait for the version 1.3 broadcast on Saturday, August 8. With over ten days left on the pickup banner after the broadcast, checking the direction of the next version before deciding where to spend your resources is a perfectly rational approach.
