Dear Kingdom Visitors,
๐ชถ๐ชถWelcome to our first vol of the Friends Guide. This time, we will introduce the lovely Asian Crested Ibis. She is truly, truly, truly passionate about singing๐ผ, although her singing voice...(hehe๐คฃ). But that's alright! The louder the voice, the higher the output! She is our first UP-pool Friend, positioned as a Wonder [Assault] Friend with powerful AoE output capabilities๐ช. Let's learn about her development strategy and team combinations.

๐Habit:
โ
- 1, 2, Sing! - Crested Ibis starts chanting(?) and makes all incoming buffs 5% more effective.

โ
ข - Could You Help With My Practice? - When using her Miracle, Crested Ibis dispels all the buffs on other Friends. For every buff dispelled, Crested Ibis gains +15 SATK for this round.

As a powerful output Friend, Asian Crested Ibis can maximize her output by pairing her with [Support] Friends while ensuring the presence of healing and protection abilities.

๐๐Visitors can use the A-grade <Fist of the Hunt> or the B-grade <Night of the Hunt> as temporary alternatives in the early stage. In the later stage, <Flash Ambush> is recommended, and after reaching level 66, it can also add SATK. Additionally, considering Crested Ibis's Habit, other Friends is advisable to use Albums that can provide buffs, such as <Eye of the Watch>.

๐๐Crested Ibis is a Friend who can replace any output Friends in your lineup once acquired. Firstly, her attribute growth is relatively balanced and smooth, and her full ability could show up when breakthrough level at 0. However, pairing her with Suri Alpaca when she is at 1 breakthrough potential can further enhance Crested Ibis's output, so that is also worth considering.
In terms of Habit selection, it is recommended to use "1, 2, Sing!" in the early stage, as pairing with multiple Supports can steadily increase output. After the perfect team is established, you can also consider "Could You Help With My Practice?" At this point, the requirements for Album and other Friends are higher, but the benefits are also significant. For example, Awakening 1 Humboldt Penguin can provide buffs to other Friends through "Aquatic Melody" and Crested Ibis can dispel those buffs to enhance the attack.
