Acia and Iachesis are a DLC character in Dissidia Calamitas Infinita, originating from At Fate's End II. A disciple of the prophet Iocus, they enforce his will in Verthandi's name.
Appearance[]
A young fairly short figure who wears a black and purple robe with its hood up and a clockwork mask covering their face (basically is emulating Iocus's look). Small extendable blades are attached to their middle fingers. They fight while attached to the clockwork beast Iachesis, a large eight-legged arachnid with gears as its joints that let it bend its limbs in any direction. Its two hind-limbs are always carrying a large hourglass, the Stains of Time.
Battle[]
Acia/Iachesis Wyrd Weaver – Command fate and measure the hands of time.
As the Wyrd Weaver, Acia can control the battlefield with sand magic and her Nexus Beast. Iachesis' large size makes it an easier target than most characters, but attacks that hit it and not Acia have the amount of Bravery damage they inflict halved. Acia's health is high and their speed below average, with the rest of their stats being average.
Acia/Iachesis has an hourglass mechanic on their HUD known as the Fate Counter, which begins at 100 and slowly climbs down to 0. It will continue to empty even during time freeze events such as Stop and EX Revenge. Acia's HP Attacks grow stronger the lower the Fate Counter is.

[Close] Iachesis weaves a web from sand that stays on the floor or in the air for 30 seconds. Pressing the button near one summoned by the aerial version allows Acia and Iachesis to cling to the web until the button is released, stopping their descent and resetting their number of available jumps. If the opponent touches a web, they are trapped for several seconds before taking HP damage, and during this time Acia can attack them freely (other HP Attacks, including this one, knock them out of it prematurely). Once the Fate Counter is below a certain point, sand spiders start appearing based on how low it is and will chew on the trapped opponent, dealing Bravery damage.

EX Mode[]
Acia's EX Mode is Heart of Atropos, where a clockwork heart appears on the left side of their chest. They gain the abilities "Regen" and "Critical Boost".
During EX Mode, Acia gains a new HP Attack named "Agape Thread", which is performed with R + . "Agape Thread" is Grab-Unblockable and has Iachesis grab the opponent before weaving a line of sand out of them, which Acia then cuts with a swing of their hand. Along with dealing HP damage, it also lowers the Fate Counter by 20 points.
