Ishtar is the new Crusader in the fourth tier of the Merci's Mix-up Event. Legends tell of Ishtar the Fire Queen, a supernatural fertility demon who knows just how to get the most out of each and every Crusader in her formation. Ishtar's Fertile Thoughts increase Global DPS and her Starlight increases the potency of angels and demons. Her allure knows little bounds, as she is able to attract Fire Sprites that increase Gold Find and speed up quest progress.

Female Crusaders who follow Ishtar will see improvements to their DPS, as long as they don't become too close, and when Ishtar tells Whispered Stories, Global DPS increases for every Royal Crusader in the formation. Don't worry if you cannot find enough Royal Crusaders to boost your formation, for the glorious Ishtar is able to elevate worthy Crusaders to royalty — provided they first become close to The Fire Queen.

Serpent's Virtue
With her new skin, Ishtar sheds her demonic evil side for angelic goodness! Serpent's Virtue has a few tag changes that could be useful for missions:

  Demon
  Evil
  Angel
  Good

Strategies[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

• Ishtar's Fire and Rain can be a good combination to any Crusaders with Spawn Speed abilities. With better Fireball item, Fire sprites spawn frequently as there are more Crusaders with Spawn Speed in formation.
