[edit] Girdle of Iron Will on characters

[edit] Martial Artists

• Amaya - Due to Amaya's low health bar, one stun usually kills him. Moreover, players may try to interrupt the slow Shadow Wrath, as it deals damage to all enemies.
• Higashi - Higashi's Chi Blast can be interrupted by Lightning Arrow. However, this is the only useful application of the move as Open Palm is too fast to be interrupted.
• Onimaru - Very powerful, but his slow Double Slash can be easily interrupted.
• Rumiko - Her attacks are already fast, so Girdle of Iron Will is not the best choice.
• Yoshiro - His slowest attack is speed 8, and so is unlikely to be interrupted. His Chi Blast can be interrupted by Lightning arrow, but Lightning Arrow can be reflected by Chi Reflect.

[edit] Amazons

• Andromeda - Since there are almost no interrupting or stunning attacks on the far range, this item is unnecessary.
• Anex - Power Toss and Boomerang Chakkra are slow, but there are no far range interrupting attacks.
• Ashi - Ashi's immune to interrupts, but not stuns. However, most stun moves and follow ups are weak against Ashi anyway.
• Helene - Helene's moves are already quick, and she is immune to stuns.. Most of the time, it is better to use a Valkyrie's Charm instead to avoid interrupts.
• Phoebe - Her powerful far range attacks are pretty fast. It is not worth giving her this item just to prevent interrupting Hamstring and Deafening Crack.

[edit] Villagers

• Juju - As Juju is very slow, Girdle of Iron Will is a good choice for him. However, as many stunning/interrupting moves are physical, it may be more effective to use Elusive Feather instead.
• Popo - Her attacks are fast, so this is not the best item.
• Tafari - His attacks are fast (except Leafy Trap). Girdle of Iron Will is not needed.
• Ubuntu - His attacks are slow, so you may put Girdle of Iron Will on him. However, the Girdle is only effective if Ubuntu is used to gain buffs from his close range moves, as there are no long-range interrupts against Spirit Assistance.
• Zina - Tiger Pounce is already very fast. On far range, there are no interrupting or stunning attacks that affect Zina.

[edit] Vampires

• Ambrosia Thorn - Other players will try to interrupt Vamp Kiss and Spectral Choke because of their speed, effects, and high energy costs. Girdle of Iron Will is a decent choice.
• Cain Solomon - Voidstream is the only move that can be easily interrupted. This item is not recommended.
• Cornelius Constantine - Slow Pilebunker and Voidstream makes Girdle of Iron Will a very good choice. Also, Rumiko, one of Cornelius's most common counters, uses Eviscerate, a stunning move, as one of her main attacks.
• Marquis Le Morte - Vampiric Touch is speed 7, but his Life Drain is speed 3. This may be useful if you plan on using Life Drain more often than Vampiric Touch.
• Vanessa Voss - Not necessary, considering her moves are fast enough to get through most interrupts.
