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

This section is incomplete. Feel free to add the missing information by editing it.

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]

After the player defeats all the ranger captains, Ianthe makes them a full-fledged ranger and encourages them to complete a test to become a ranger captain.[10][11]

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.

Ianthe and Wilma can only be fought once per save file.

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.
