Iori

Iori is an original character in Echoes of Aincrad and one of the four selectable NPC companions. Unlike Argo, she is not a returning figure from the Sword Art Online novels; she was created for the game.

Loadout

Iori fights with a one-handed sword and a shield, which aligns her with the game's defensive-leaning Parry Slash playstyle. Her role in the party is the healer.

Support Role

Iori's signature support skill places a healing circle on the ground that lets the player regenerate health while still attacking. Her ultimate is a linked team-up that combines the player's attack with her support, giving her party a burst heal and offensive output on the same cast.
