by | Aug 30, 2025

Ikora is a Legendary (4★) Void character that specializes in Offense, Medium Range combat, as well as Light Grenade Launchers and Rocket Launchers. As Destiny Rising does an excellent job of previewing and explaining abilities, this guide focuses on critical information, such as how to get this character, equippable weapons, and more.

How to get Ikora

Unlike most characters that need to be pulled from Gacha Banners, Ikora can be acquired as you progress through the game’s campaign, near the end of Chapter 2. As a more offensive character focused on range combat, it makes sense that NetEase decided to provide a “free alternative” to players. However, if you’re looking for multiple copies of Ikora (to progress its Talent Tree, etc), you’ll need to pull for her.

Ikora works well with burst-damage weapons and can clear mobs efficiently. However, her limited usefulness in PvP lowers her overall value compared to other options.
