• Regular Physical Stun Damage Boost trait will be her her main source of stun damage, her primary role, affecting all her skills. This trait is relatively easy to get in gear and combine with any of the others in this list. Prioritize this trait as a primary trait.
• Enhanced Damage Buff [A] is a high priority choice that will boost the critical provided by her passive to other Attacker allies. It will additionally boost memorias like Our Masterpiece and gear pieces like Pointed Iron Staff and Shadow Walkers.
• Stun Damage Up on Weakness is an alternative but actually stronger trait compared to Physical Stun Damage Boost, with the catch that this one only works against enemies weak to Slash. This trait is only recommended to be used in these type of fights or in presence of allies who can create this weakness.
  This trait can only be combined with Enhanced Damage Buff [A] if you have access to Magda: Pinkish Destroyer.
• Stun Damage Boost and Stun Damage Boost [Full] are weaker alternatives in almost every scenario. Usable in earlier stages of the game but not recommended otherwise.
• Enhanced P./M Resistance Down is a very low priority choice, more than doubling the effect of her physical damage debuffs and the effect of Radiant Coronet. This is almost always not worth using over enhancing her buffs instead.

Izana is an interesting and gimmicky character centered around dealing critical hits to increase potency of her stun attacks, and offering moderate offensive and control utilities.

While she can buff her own Critical Rate with Skill 1 and combo her other skills with it, the intended and most efficient way of doing this is by landing on positive panels. Regardless of what kind of positive panel it is (Boost, Critical, Recovery, Burst, etc.), this will guarantee her skill will deal a critical hit and trigger all the secondary effects from her skills and gear pieces. Not only that but the base potency of her Skill 2 will triple, increasing from an average AoE potency of 57% to a massive 171%, rivaling or even surpassing most single target stun attacks from other breakers, massively decreasing her reliance on stun related traits and gear, and enabling her to build more interesting or offensive option like the already mentioned Enhanced Damage Buff [A] trait which will increase the potency of her critical damage passive buff and any other buffing gear or memoria effect she has equipped. This is the most efficient way to build her to accentuate her unique strengths and not turn her into a generic breaker.

Her Burst Skill preserves the Daze status effect from her original Bolt version, offering strong crowd control against dangerous enemies and also working as a damage boost for characters who rely on the presence of it or any status effect on the target for increased damage. This status effect is rarely fully resisted too, but keep in consideration this can happen.

Despite all of her strengths, Izana does not perform competitively well in Roman’s Tournament of any affinity, including Slash. She is a disruptive character that falls short in offensive contributions compared to characters in the same role like Totori: Hopeful Sailor, but she is best suited for general content like dungeons and other slash weak or neutral fights instead, and most importantly around any Promise & Teamwork tagged ally, granting them (and herself) the Initiative effect. This affects a lot of powerful damage dealers, including many versions of Resna, Ryza, Logy and both her own Bolt and Strike versions too. This effect opens up a lot of cool and fun strategies and it comes attached to a powerful critical damage buff as well.
