Hi hi ! I missed a small optimization note - just like Stargaze II, Stargaze I can also be instantly cancelled with skills, so instead of just doing something like Stargaze V -> Dodge -> Fire -> Stargaze II, you can do: Stargaze V -> Dodge -> Stargaze I -> Fire -> Stargaze II, for a little extra damage! Basically - you should be fitting a Stargaze I before every natural skillcast that follows a dodge.
I'm Having trouble with 15:51 Stargaze IV > cancel dodge > Fire > Cast time back always back to Stargaze I no matter i spam it. Quick Charge already lv 30
Hey Maygi, love your Io guide! I just have two questions: 1. Do you consider Io to be one of the strongest characters in the roster and if so, where would you place her? 2. Is her best weapon the Colossus Cane Omega? Thanks!
You really are the best. You playing relink might just be the best thing to happen to the community. Superb guides, incredible depth, and top tier presentation.
Wow, this was really well done! I especially liked the graphics when going over the skills. More creators need to put in this type of effort. So many "guides" have flashy titles and barely make an effort
as a math nerd theorycrafter puzzle solver addict myself i want u to know i sent this guide to more than one io player i know after shitting on every guide they used previously and specifically said “everything in this guide is optimal i trust this person with my life. shes a genius” ur the best maygi 🖤
Looked at your guides from other games, always thought you are amazing. Was always too scared to cancel my stargaze too early and now i know "there is no too early" for that. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this amazing guide! I've really taken it to the next level as Io, and am surprised by how often I'm grabbing MVP from Rackams and Namaryas.
Amazing work: from the video editing to each detail, piece of information and data you share with us. I can't imagine the amount of time for doing this. You are a true Magical Girl
The best GBF detailed crew guide I've seen. Waiting for other crew members from you! Was wishing there was a consolidated site for skill cooldowns and damage cap in the same manner you presented. That would be godsend
Another great vid! I really like the scene transitions and the effort you put into making all the visual guides/tables etc! It makes it very easy for me to learn.
Each time I think im about to stop playing io to try someone else I find something new that makes me want to keep playing her. Thank you so much for the guides and all the hard work you've put into everything you've given us!!!
I've used your guide for deep dungeons in ffxiv, I'm so happy to discover you covering my favorite character in this game too! I so glad to know I'm in good hands with the math to back it up. Thanks for the great guide as always, i learned a lot about optimization with things other guides haven't mentioned like pushing out stargaze ii for maximizing dps, and the difference between cancelling stargaze ii vs v with skills/dodge, im excited to try it out. Also thank you for including small things like cd time and multipliers on the skills/attacks, it's so hard for me to visualize what i should be doing to optimize without them, or things like how quick cast doesn't stack with not leylines, which i didn't feel like it did but it's very nice having confirmation it doesn't.
I just found this by searching Io build and it's by far the best build guide I've seen........ I've been gaming 40 years so this is big praise. I really hope you have all the other characters.........and I will be looking for you in other games. Top quality work. 👍👍👍
waaa thank you !! I'm glad you liked the video ~ I want to get to other characters eventually, but there's so much to master with every character. I am totally not qualified to make other character videos until I give them their fair share of time to learn all the tricks - I still have plenty of content to cook for Io alone, which says something about the depth of the mechanics !
I’ve been following your guide since you first posted it on Reddit, it was fascinating to see it grow with more detailed information as the days went by. Thank you for spending the time and effort to do this, without your guide I’m fairly certain my Io wouldn’t be as strong as it is.
This is BY FAR the best guide creator I've watched till now. No disrespect to the other creators but I have to admit this guide is so clean and well detailed. My only wish is a guide for all characters like this.
aww thank you, I'm glad you liked it !! I DO want to cover other characters eventually, but as you might imagine, it's a ton of work for this format haha ~ something I'm going to experiment with later will be some super short-format guides (like 2 minutes or something), so I can have some more bite-sized projects in between the bigger ones (also because I think they're totally useful!)~
oh dont worry if the lucilius raid is very mechanic heavy and isn't a pushover i'll definitely cover that in ff14 raid style guide (^: i love illustrating mechanics
would be interesting to see raid planner for fight for simple mechanic like supernova in proto like G1 G2 G3 G4 for each turret responsible and which corner they go to for to reduce a friendly hit or mechanic break down of some fight like i still have no idea why Pyet-A second firefly give less time to break all the orb. People clear the content no problem but I don't see any content creator talk about the detail of the mechanic mostly will be like just DPS it or just dodge it
For the weapon inbue, you are going to want Cascade 4/5 so you can get the most value from cascade. Unlike alot of other sigils, Cascade maxes out at 20 so if you get 15 from Sigil and 4/5 from Weap, its hot
Finaly! A "GUIDE" in YT, not a fking showcase and obligatory read of ingame descriptions. Argumented, well detailed, with options and foresight for tech used. Maygi are you single? Could i interest you in a blind date?
I came here because: no capslock, no BEST BROKEN CRAZY BUILD?!, no thumbnail of a guy soyjacking I stay because: incredible in depth-information thats impossible to find (cooldown in seconds? Damage cap numbers? Wikis? Ingame? No.), great visual information presentation, concise and easy to understand information, ingame footage of what youre actually doing, explanations of why NOT to do things from a design as well as mathematical perspective... This is amazing!❤ Could you please consider A) making add to the document a column with the base cooldowns of each skill from each character? B) making a guide like this for other characters? (Selflishly proposing my beloved Yodarha here)
Aww I'm glad you like it !! RUclips is full of clickbait nowadays and it's annoying so I always try to make the kinda content I would like to see haha... As for your inquiries... A) I think cooldowns are a nice thing to have for all characters! Though, it's the community that's helping to collect the skill data for others right now, and for some reason none of them are bothering with the cooldowns haha... guess I'll go get them myself in due time ~ B) I would love to cover more characters! But, it kinda takes a good amount of time to learn all the intricacies, I'm still cooking up Io tech as we speak - if I'm to cover other characters, I have a lot of git gudding to do first!!
ive been focusing on narm, eugen, and cag. now i wana try someone new and it was between percival and io. i was really looking forward to percival because his flame attacks just look cool but he seems to be incredibly basic. io seems much more involved to actually do good.
Oof, that note on Crit Damage sigils... I guess I never bothered wondering if it was additive with the 50% from the stinger masteries and whatever else is in the mastery tree. Gonna have to give my sigil setups a once-over.
I believe gravity vortex should be a good link time extender. Abilities that persist for a long time and do many separate instances of damage usually are.
Not even done. But this is an exceptional guide. Did you get the skills information off of a site or figured that out yourself ? Earned a like sub and comment either way. And will be on the lookout for more videos as you’re obviously about your quality. Cheers !
Bro can a guide be any more perfect? An analysis on every skill, a Damage cap calculator (that calucated the damage cap for every attack), and little nuisances (like dodging between the combo rotation). Guide so good I ain't seeking any more gaps in info on the character lol. I finished making my Rackam, so I'm trying another character now. I wanted to try narmaya since her blue combo finisher, SBA aestetic looks cool and her butterflies reminds me of Utawaremono. I tried her, but then wanted a character with more utility with the mobility. Io seems fun with paralysis ( and it probably my favorite looking magic animation in the game); however, I need to understand the damage cap and combo playstyle and this guide satisfies all of my confusion and more.
Aww I'm glad you like it ! I do spend a lot of time on this guide format haha ~ so it makes me happy to see when people have the same burning curiosity that I do !
I never play Io but just about to, so I look for the guide. Your guide is very professional and it's make me feel stupid for some reason cuz I don't get it. LOL 😅
How did you get the CDs, Attack Ratios, and Caps for each of her attacks and abilities? I'd love to get that sort of data for all characters if possible. And awesome guide! This was very helpful! EDIT - never mind, found the linked Spreadsheet in the description. Thanks for sharing this!
Awesome Guide! In the video Maygi says you have innate stout heart when casting star gaze? But on the dummy i get interrupted when charging star gaze still? EDIT: You get stout heart when you get the quick cast feature.
@Maygi Hey! Thank you for your massive analysis on Io - it's obvious you put a lot of effort and love into this guide and I appreciate it a lot :) I have a question and I apologize if this was mentioned in the video as I skimmed through some parts. I always anim. cancel Stargaze V into a skill, but I see you mentioning dodge-cancelling first and then casting a skill. However, there are some moments in your video where you do cancel Stargaze V into another skill. Is there a reason for preference of dodge-cancelling the Stargaze recovery animation instead of skill-cancelling? I mean besides when all skills are on cooldown. Thanks again for the amazing video!
Hi hi! It's just some older footage here and there haha... wanted to mix it up with the scenes because, as you may imagine, 99% of the footage I collected was either PBaha or Pyet-A and I was like yeah its time for a shift in scenery

@@mmkeigaThat might be because of your cooldown reduction. Without at least one line of Cascade/QCD, fire won't be up in time.
@@Maygi Found it sis, it’s because Last Mastery point : 300 % time after dodge
Hey Maygi, love your Io guide! I just have two questions:
1. Do you consider Io to be one of the strongest characters in the roster and if so, where would you place her?
2. Is her best weapon the Colossus Cane Omega?
Thanks!
Thanks! good simple info!
aaaa thank u ;; !!! im glad it was useful !!
Great job on the guide Maygi! :D You are awesome!
waaaaa thank u ;;; !!!
my goodness THIS IS THE WAY TO MAKE A GUIDE! its perfect the editing the visual the explenations.....my hats of to you. THANKS!
Maygi you spoil us with all these in-depth guides and calculators you make for us. Thank you!
This is why I’m subscribed this amazing channel.
Thank you so much for including cooldown timers in the guide, it really helps!
You're welcome ! I can't stand not knowing any of the numbers, so I always make sure to get them in the guide ^^
Absolutely FANTASTIC guide. SO much better than the competition.
God I hope you make more for other characters! GOOD STUFF
You really are the best. You playing relink might just be the best thing to happen to the community. Superb guides, incredible depth, and top tier presentation.
This is legitimately the most in depth guide I have seen yet.
Great video with great explanation ! Also big thank you for the damage calculator and Io textbook !
Wish you the best :D
I am floored by the detail, humor and thoughtfulness of this guide. It should be the standard for the rest of the characters! Thank you!
Wow, this was really well done! I especially liked the graphics when going over the skills. More creators need to put in this type of effort. So many "guides" have flashy titles and barely make an effort
Glad you liked the graphics !! I spent a good amount of time designing them to be consistent with the game's UI theme ^^
Just bout the game and this sold me. Your guides are amazing and I'm using you as my go to guide! 10/10 content
You are a mathematical goddess! This guide has helped me MAJORLY. Thank you so much, especially for the spreadsheet!
What a amazing detailed video and documentation. Thank you very much for this. Hope your videos get many views
as a math nerd theorycrafter puzzle solver addict myself i want u to know i sent this guide to more than one io player i know after shitting on every guide they used previously and specifically said “everything in this guide is optimal i trust this person with my life. shes a genius” ur the best maygi 🖤
The best guide I have ever seen about this game ! You're awesome !
Finally an insightfull guide that actually goes into details of the inner mechanics and complexities of a character.
Probably the most comprehensive relink character guide, love it!
suddenly this was in my recomends, I didnt use Io but the edits and info of everything was very useful. keep it goin!
Looked at your guides from other games, always thought you are amazing. Was always too scared to cancel my stargaze too early and now i know "there is no too early" for that. Thank you so much!
Thank you Maygi for guides, helped me a lot with DD long ago and its a pleasure surprise to find your handbook now for granblue
Maygii you spoil us with your content, thank you for everything
my favorite magical girl covering my favorite magical girl, thank you for the hard work!
Thank you for this amazing guide! I've really taken it to the next level as Io, and am surprised by how often I'm grabbing MVP from Rackams and Namaryas.
These guides are pretty crazy. Love it thank you
Amazing work: from the video editing to each detail, piece of information and data you share with us. I can't imagine the amount of time for doing this. You are a true Magical Girl
I remember your xiv deep dungeon guides! Thanks for the guide in relink too, Io has been a ton of fun to play
This is actually an insane guide. Subbed for sure!
This was quite a well made guide and is a huge help! Been trying to find some combo rotations and this is perfect! Good Stuff!
The best GBF detailed crew guide I've seen. Waiting for other crew members from you! Was wishing there was a consolidated site for skill cooldowns and damage cap in the same manner you presented. That would be godsend
Huge fan of your deep dungeon stuff, glad to see you enjoying relink!
Thank you for the guide

amazing video and timing since i was about to starting building my io. thanks for the quality content!
Your rotation guide helped me cut my offline protohamut times by half; thanks!
Thanks for the indepth guide! Your video made me start playing Io and I've been having a blast cheesing through Maniac so far with her. It's so fun~
I’ve been following your guide since you first posted it on Reddit, it was fascinating to see it grow with more detailed information as the days went by. Thank you for spending the time and effort to do this, without your guide I’m fairly certain my Io wouldn’t be as strong as it is.
Really like this content. I wish their were more content creators with this level of detail.
this is surely the most cute tutorial ever
As a FF14 deep dungeon enjoyer, I’m glad you make guides for this game as well! Thanks 😊
Dang! This is the best guide out there! Will definitely subscribe for more!
Amazing video and supporting docs!
Goodness, Maygi! I didn't expect you to cover Io, as she happened to be my main chara during matchmaking quests! Thanks, gonna watch the guides now!
Yeah... This video is insane quality. Thank you SO MUCH for content like this!!!
I just found this and this is god tier guide, excellent work!
i hope you do this for all chars. great guides as always
Incredibly well done guide. Good job and thank you

Wow this is really well presented and detailed ❤
I was honestly surprised with the stargaze 2 anim cancel stuff, nice vid
This guide converted me from a Narmaya main to an Io main real quick, the nukes are just too satisfying when you land them.
I love Io she's my main with 35k atk power!!! Fantastic video!! Following
Thanks you so much 😭Farming slimepede was always so hard with Io
Best guide i have seen so far.
I play charlotta for 500+ quest.
But now i am Io main because of this guide.
Such a great guide and nice visuals. Thanks
im so glad im seeing more and more vtuber while researching about video game mechanics
hi your resources and insight have been very helpful even though i dont play Io myself so thank you very much
This might be the best Io guide on the internet no cap
Super helpful, thank you!
Amazing video, thank you for your time!
As others have said this was fantastic IO is my co favorite character I'm eagerly awaiting a rackam :)
Yooo Maygi posted lets GOOOOOO
This feel more like a ff14 guide than a GBFR guide xD thanks for the in depth explanation.
oh dont worry if the lucilius raid is very mechanic heavy and isn't a pushover i'll definitely cover that in ff14 raid style guide (^: i love illustrating mechanics

This is amazing!!
This guide was perfect!, wish theres something like this for charlotta ghandagoza 😢
where were you getting the skill images at 3:00 ? was it from a website or did you make themself? Great video btw!
I made them from scratch. Every shape layer, every animation! Glad you liked the video ^^
This is honestly fantastic, pity I don’t main Io… I would love to see this for Siegfried. Nevertheless, great vid!
awesome guide
simply GOAT
This is outstanding
My Io GOAT

1.3 brought new sigils, but really its getting pretty painful with the limitations of sigil slots.
I never play Io but just about to, so I look for the guide. Your guide is very professional and it's make me feel stupid for some reason cuz I don't get it. LOL 😅
Thank you for a very detailed guide. Would it be possible for you to do Rakham or Vane guide next? 😊
was considering io as my 2nd character after finishing up my zeta build, but gotta get that terminus weapon first kekw
How did you get the CDs, Attack Ratios, and Caps for each of her attacks and abilities? I'd love to get that sort of data for all characters if possible.
And awesome guide! This was very helpful!
EDIT - never mind, found the linked Spreadsheet in the description. Thanks for sharing this!
Please, do a guide for Narmaya.
Still not single war elemental or supplementary dmg in sight😢
Awesome Guide!
