A TierHathor Build Guide
Hathor is a Burst DPS character capable of dealing large amounts of Lakshana DMG thanks to her Ultimate and empowered Skill. Stacking her Express Delivery Power helps charge her Ultimate quickly, allowing her to deal bursts of damage in relatively quick intervals. While strong, her Burst damage relies heavily on the number of Express Delivery Power stacks that she has, which requires proper usage of her Skill.
Strengths
- High burst damage with Ultimate and empowered Skill
- Synergizes well with Remora and Stain reactions
- Can charge Ultimate quickly via Express Delivery Power stacks
Weaknesses
- Burst damage heavily dependent on Express Delivery Power stacks
- Requires proper timing and positioning to maximize stacks
- Relies on team composition for elemental reactions
