Ryota (Inarinokami) is a Support Esper in Dislyte who amplifies the attack power of teammates affected by Stealth. To utilize his kit effectively, you must tune your team's Speed so Ryota acts immediately before your primary damage dealers, ensuring they are cloaked and buffed before unleashing their burst abilities.
How Ryota's Stealth Synergy Works
In Dislyte, the Stealth buff grants defensive benefits by preventing an Esper from being targeted by single-target skills and reducing damage taken from area-of-effect (AoE) attacks. Ryota converts this defensive status into an offensive platform by raising the attack power of cloaked allies.
Because Ryota's stat enhancement depends on the Stealth condition:
- Damage dealers who naturally enter Stealth can trigger his offensive scaling independently.
- Allies without innate stealth rely directly on Ryota to apply the buff before they attack.
- Running Ryota in teams that lack stealth mechanics or burst damage severely reduces his utility compared to generalist supports.
Speed Tuning and Skill Rotation
To prevent damage dealers from taking turns before their ATK enhancement is active, build your squad around a strict activation order:
- AP Push and Control: Initiate combat with an Action Point (AP) manipulator or controller to secure the first turn and lock down immediate enemy threats.
- Ryota's Setup: Have Ryota act next, applying Stealth and triggering the attack boost for your offensive units.
- Burst Damage Execution: Allow your cloaked carries to strike while both the Stealth status and attack buffs are active.
- Defensive Re-Cloaking: Cycle through cooldowns to refresh Stealth or defensive barriers before enemy area-of-effect skills retaliate.
Tune Ryota's Speed substats high enough to consistently outpace your offensive carries. If a carry acts before Ryota applies his buffs, that unit wastes its initial skill rotation without his damage amplification.
Recommended Teammates and Synergies
Pair Ryota with carries who exploit single-target immunity, alongside supports who guarantee turn priority and debuff cleansing.
| Team Role | Recommended Espers | Strategic Synergy |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Burst DPS | Ophelia, Chloe, Leon | Capitalize on amplified attack power while protected from direct, single-target retaliation. |
| AP Push & Turn Priority | Dhalia, Unas, Tiye | Ensure Ryota and your attackers take their turns before the enemy team acts. |
| Cleanse & Immunity | Clara, Heng Yue, Gabrielle | Remove crowd control and supply Immunity so enemy debuffs cannot stall Ryota's buff rotation. |
Carries with innate stealth mechanisms provide insurance. If Ryota is incapacitated after the opening round, self-cloaking attackers retain the ability to benefit from his presence while he remains on the field.
Limitations and Counter-Strategies
Ryota's performance drops sharply against specific team matchups and compositions:
- Buff Dispel: Opponents with reliable buff-stripping skills can remove Stealth before your attackers act. Dispersing the cloak strips both the defensive shield and Ryota's attack bonus. Bring Immunity casters when facing heavy dispel threats.
- Sustained AoE Cleave: While Stealth lowers AoE damage taken, heavy continuous area attacks from Espers like Gaius or Leora can eliminate fragile carries through the cloak. Pair Ryota with shields, DEF Up, or damage reduction to survive sustained area pressure.
- Attrition Compositions: Ryota provides minimal value in slow, defensive teams that rely on damage over time, such as poison or bleed setups. In compositions lacking burst attackers, dedicated buffers like Alice, Suhua, or Dhalia offer more consistent utility.
