She has two forms: a normal state that builds attacks and a berserk state triggered by an EX Rail finisher that boosts movement speed and climbing. Irohi, voiced by Rina Hidaka, uses a Spirit ability system and fights alongside three lambs, putting allies into a Trance state that makes them invincible and inherits part of her attack stats. She can also revive fallen allies.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ver.1.2 story is an epilogue where players run a TRPG produced by DSD Hall, set in the Warren Continent.

Each of the four characters gets a unique job, and defeating monsters grants experience points and stat upgrades. Equipment drops randomly with rarity and job-specific categories, and some gear affects appearance. Repeating playthroughs unlocks new areas, quests, and higher-rank equipment.
