== Strengths  ==

'''
 * "Judgement" from a caster with extremely high magic power is very strong. '''

Ishtar can learn "Judgement", a skill that deals almighty-type damage to all units while raising all allies' attack by 20%.

Ishtar's magic power is on the top-class among the demons, and Judgement's contribution to the battle is tremendous.

It's an unusually powerful skill that allows Ishtar to function as a attack buffer while being a magic attacker. '''
 * Can even serve as a healer '''

Ishtar can also use Diarahan effectively.

Its healing efficiency will be very good because of its high magic power.

'''
 * Learns "Concentrate" as a Protector '''

When Ishtar is a Protector, it can learn "Concentrate".

Since this increases the damage of the next magic attack immensely, this becomes a useful skill in battles with preparation time, like when there's a sub-boss fight before the actual boss.

== Weaknesses  ==

'''
 * Many weaknesses '''

Ishtar is weak to 2 elements, which makes transferring resistance skills necessary.

Since one skill slot will be used for the resistance skill, the player is forced to be careful with the skill selection.

'''
 * Slow '''

Ishtar has low speed stat. If Ishtar participate in fights of higher difficulty, there could be a lot of monsters that can take the lead.

If Ishtar is not paired with demons that already knows "Makaraka Shift" or "Tetraka Shift", there's a risk of losing the lead and being annihilated.

== How To Obtain  ==


 * Obtainable via Superior Summon
 * Obtainable via fusing Azrael and Sphinx

== Recommended Archetype: Elementalist  ==

Ishtar as an Elementalist can nullify its weakness, Force. This allows Ishtar to learn skills to nullify 3 elements and gain Resist Dark via transfer all while having 1 vacant skill slot.

== Premium Skills  ==

Set effects 	   =>   Mag ATK +15%

Option 	    =>   Phys DEF%, Mag DEF%, Healing amount%

Have Branding set to Spell Brand. This increases the power of "Judgement", allowing you to apply buffs while dealing damage.

Because Ishtar is weak to two elements, we recommend raising its Mag DEF if the resistance skill does not cover its weakness. If Ishtar's weakness can be covered, then go for Phys DEF or Healing amount.
