How to use Iron Grip
CalculatedIron Grip makes drinking a Ferrofluid Flask 50% faster and impossible to interrupt. Its only copy is in a chest in The Battlefield, so it is available from the first region.
The real value is that a hit no longer cancels the heal, which matters most against bosses with fast follow-up attacks. It slots into any flask build next to Tomorrow's Promise and Limit Break, and is wasted with Butcher's Carnage.
Written from the Amber's own parameters, where its copies are placed and its listed pairings; rank II values marked as interpolated are estimates between rank I and rank III.
