The Girdle of Iron Will is a general item which can be used on all of the characters. This item has a 100% chance to avoid stuns, interrupts and critical hits.
Kongai Card Album Description[]
Used best on characters with a slow, powerful move that they don't want interrupted. Cornelius and Juju are good examples, as are Onimaru and Andromeda. It's also good against stun or intercept-heavy opponents, such as Rumiko, Yoshiro, or Higashi.
Girdle of Iron Will on characters[]
"Immune" will appear above the character's art while in battle when it activates to prevent stuns or interrupts. It will also be noted in the game log. Highly useful item on characters with powerful moves that are easily interrupted.
Martial Artists[]
- Amaya - Due to Amaya's low health bar, one stun usually kills her. 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, because his slow and debilitating 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 that can be reflected by Chi Reflect.
Amazons[]
- Andromeda - Since interrupting or stunning attacks are rare on the far range, this item is unnecessary.
- Anex - See above.
- 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 (both cheap enough to spam indefinitely).
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 - Their attacks are fast, so this is not the best item.
- Tafari - His attacks are fast (except Leafy Trap). Girdle is not needed.
- Ubuntu - His attacks are slow, so you may put Girdle on him. Much like Juju, it's usually better to prevent rather than cure since the Feather is more effective against physical attacks instead.
- Zina - Tiger Pounce is already very fast. On far range, there are few interrupting or stunning attacks that affect Zina.
Vampires[]
- Ambrosia Thorn - Other players will try to interrupt Vamp Kiss and Spectral Choke because of their speed, effects, and high energy costs. The Girdle is a decent choice.
- Cain Solomon - Voidstream is the only move that can be easily interrupted. This item is not recommended.
- Cornelius Constantine - Slow PilebunkerPilebunker and Voidstream makes The Girdle a very good choice. Also, Rumiko, one of Cornelius's most common counters, uses EviscerateEviscerate, 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.
Pirates[]
- Auger Blackboot - Word of Command and Aimed Pistol will generally be interrupted due to their mediocre speed, so those moves will benefit greatly if equipped.
- Balthazar Bomb-Britches - Only affects Load Cannon (which shouldn't be as concerning) and Balthazar is already immune to stun. Use something else.
- Darla Cross - Her signature Parrot Pilfer won't be interruptable if performed at far range. If you're stuck with this because you had to remove it from an opponent, steal something else more useful next.
- Ranec Vest - Nothing special, since Two-sword Slash, his most common move is fairly speedy.
- Starbuck - Player's choice, though this will enhance Gigaton Punch more tolerably.
Knights[]
- Bestor- Flame Sword Frenzy is speed 8 and you will rely on it to do damage, unless you are fighting Rumiko on a regular basis the Girdle isn't recommended.
- Gunbjorn - The Girdle is a very good item for Gunbjorn. All of his attacks are slow and easily interrupted.
- Oxbox - Good choice for Oxbox, all his attacks are slow and you need all the chances you get to deal damage.
- Rathbone - Since he's already immune to interrupts you wouldn't need Girdle much at all.
- Wei-Shan - Since Wei-Shan is mainly a support character, you will try to use him in strategic circumstances. Unless you fight with lots of Pirates, the Girdle wouldn't be a good choice.
Robots[]
- Angelan Series D - Can be useful despite her quick attacks, as she can benefit from stun and crit immunities.
- B9 - Will affect Electrifying and Pincer Grab. Not a bad choice.
- Gorbax-Mark 2 - Omega Missile and Lock-on can benefit from the Girdle, but there are always better options.
- IBO-K9 - This may prolong his health, but that's only about it. Better suited for other items.
- MR-V1N - Since most of MR-V1N's moves are generally slow, this may be useful.
Witches[]
- Agathe De Grey - Not really that useful, since her moves are either long-range or quick.
- Eva Bovary - Similar to above, though immunities are always helpful.
- Margo Curie - Only affects Hallucinogenic Incense, non-beneficial.
- Sadie Trudeau - Although generally fast enough to remain uninterrupted, this does benefit 5-Point Pinch. Optional.
- Sophie Merovingian - There are certain characters that are willing to prevent Sophie from activating Circle of Shadows (namely Higashi), so the Girdle is detrimental against them if equipped.
