Ianthe is the leader of the Rangers and a recurring character.
Description
Ianthe is an older woman who wears a tan trenchcoat and has dark hair with a grey stripe. She leads the rangers, being referred to as Head Ranger and Ranger Leader interchangeably.
She is married to Wilma.
History
The way Ianthe speaks of her life prior to her arrival is evocative of the Cyberpunk genre. She lived in a mega-metropolis with artificial trees and neon skyscrapers blocking out the stars, and describes life there as "fleeting" and "cruel."[1] During that time, she was "something like a detective"[2] and came up with the name Ianthe in a pinch.[3]
Ianthe discovered monster recording[4] when Falldown Mall arrived in New Wirral fifteen years prior to the player's arrival.[5][6] Prior to this, she fought monsters using a "mechanical gear sword."[7]
Shortly after the player arrives at New Wirral, they meet Ianthe in order to become a ranger trainee.[8][9] Ianthe is first seen by the player at the Ranger Outpost defeating a Rogue Fusion with her Gearyu.
After the player defeats all the ranger captains, Ianthe makes them a full-fledged ranger[10] and asked if they have considered becoming a ranger captain to help with training ranger recruits.[11]. If the player expresses interest in becoming a ranger captain, Ianthe requests them to take on a final challenge - to defeat her in combat[12]. If the player accepts her challenge, Ianthe reveals she will fight alongside her wife Wilma[13].
Battle
During Part 4 of Take Me On, Ianthe is challenged in Town Hall, partnered with Wilma and takes the battle to Harbourtown Outskirts. The player receives the status of Ranger Captain and a non-common Headshot sticker for winning.
Battle Team
| Ianthe | Wilma |
|---|---|
| Can fuse | |
 Gearyu |
 Djinn Entonic |
 Robindam |
 Decibelle |
Strategy
Ianthe’s team consists mostly of powerful ranged attackers, possessing wide type coverage and some multi-hit moves which break Walls quickly. Gearyu has high melee defense with a 50% chance to ignore walls with Ricochet, and Djinn Entonic can use disruptive moves to cause damage and Confused status. Robindam is a brute-force offensive threat with AP Refund to sometimes return spent AP, while Decibelle has strong Ranged stats, Echolocation to strike a full team, and Hurricane to instantly break walls. At a full AP bar their tapes will likely use Headshot to deal massive damage, or a Fusion Power if in fused form.
