Haniel
A Psyche buffer who summons Hootie to grant an ATK buff while off-field and deals additional off‑field damage. Works best as a support that briefly provides big team ATK windows and supplementary damage before swapping back to your main DPS.
Build Guide
Strengths
- Strong team ATK buff via Hootie (off‑field support)
- Provides off‑field damage and extra ricochets when empowered by her Ultimate
- Can function as a sub‑DPS while remaining off‑field
Weaknesses
- Limited utility outside of her buff + off‑field damage
- You'll usually swap her out after applying buffs, so uptime on her personal damage window is short
- Some Arc/cartridge choices are RNG or situational
Best Arcs
Beat King — While Haniel is off‑field, increases the active character's ATK (10%) and grants small stacking ATK when Haniel deals damage (up to 4 stacks). Also boosts Psyche DMG while Haniel is active and grants stacking Psyche DMG from Basic Attacks.
Nacupeda — Increases HP significantly and grants one random team effect when the wearer casts an Ultimate (healing single ally, a shield, or team HP recovery).
Picture Frame — Increases ATK by 20% when the wearer's HP is above 50% (and increases DEF when below 50%).

Best Teams
Haniel provides the ATK buff (Hootie) and off‑field damage; build a Discord composition with characters that apply Scorch/Nova to enable the Discord Eclipse cycle.
Start with a Lakshana/Chaos character to apply Stain or Nova where needed, swap to Haniel to place Hootie and apply her buff, then swap to main DPS to consume the buff and trigger Ensemble attacks.
Coordinate Scorch → Nova timings in a Discord team to guarantee Discord activation and maximize damage.
Haniel acts as the charge/support buffer: Speedy Hedgehog + Cycle synergy to accelerate Ultimates and provide an ATK buff on cast. Best when your team wants to take advantage of Charge/Remora cycles.
Use Haniel to apply the ATK buff and accelerate Ultimates (Speedy Hedgehog) so your DPS can capitalize on Charge/Remora cycles.
Sequence Ultimates so Remora/Vita Pistils interactions charge Ultimates faster when intended.
Skill Priority
Easter Egg Time (Support Skill)
Improves Haniel's damage when switching in; useful but lower priority since she'll often be off‑field.
Genesse Technique (Basic Attack)
Basic Attack is least important for typical Haniel play; upgrade later if you have spare resources.
Silent Moonlit Forest Guardian (Skill)
Primary skill: summons Hootie to apply an ATK buff and generate Four‑Part Harmony stacks that trigger Ensemble for area damage. Top priority to level.
A Melody Named Haniel (Ultimate)
Empowers Hootie (increases damage and area) and increases ricochet cap—level second to enhance buffs and burst.
How to Play
Haniel is used primarily to apply a temporary ATK buff (via Hootie) and then hand the fight off to your main DPS. Cast her Ultimate to empower Hootie, place Hootie with her Skill, then swap out immediately to trigger extra attacks from Hootie and benefit from the ATK window.
Rotations
- 1 Standard Rotation: Sustain/Mitigation Skill → Haniel Ultimate → Haniel Skill → Swap to Sub‑DPS/Main DPS
- 2 Gameplay Loop (short): 1) If a Lakshana/Chaos teammate has full Cycle Energy, start with them to apply Stain/Nova → 2) Swap to Haniel and place Hootie with her Skill → 3) Immediately swap to your Main/Sub DPS to activate Hootie's extra attacks and consume the buff → 4) If available, use Haniel's Ultimate before her Skill to double/empower the buff.
Tips
- If you have a Lakshana or Chaos character ready, start with them to apply Stain or Nova, then swap to Haniel to place Hootie and trigger the desired cycle (e.g., Scorch → Nova → Discord).
- Use Haniel's Ultimate before her Skill when possible to empower Hootie and double the buff effect during the burst window.
- Equip Speedy Hedgehog to reduce charge time and give an extra team ATK buff on Ultimate; otherwise pick Devil's Blood: Curse to maximize Haniel's personal damage.
Skills
Basic Attack Description
"O owl of the quiet, moonlit forest depths, answer my call!" Throws her portable speaker Hootie, dealing Psyche DMG to an area.
Grants the Team an ATK bonus based on Haniel's Base ATK while Hootie is active.
Grants Hootie 1 stack of Four-Part Harmony when the current character attacks, up to 1 stack every 0.5s. Accumulating 4 stacks of Four-Part Harmony triggers Ensemble, dealing Psyche DMG to enemies in an area around Hootie.
Only 1 Hootie can exist at a time. Casting again refreshes Hootie's duration. Hootie remains when switching characters.

Grants the Team an ATK bonus based on Haniel's Base ATK.
Triggering Ensemble simultaneously triggers 1 additional Ensemble - Symphony effect around the character with increased DMG and range. Ensemble - Symphony does not grant Plot Armor for Haniel. When triggering Ensemble, the current active character's next attack deals additional damage for 3s. Effect does not stack.
While Paranormal Ace is active, Hootie's duration timer is paused until the end of the effect.
Don't be so boring! How about a little easter egg? Fires 1 magic projectile at the enemy, dealing 1 instance of Psyche DMG.

Nova Enhancement: Allows all allies to drain ATK from the target when Nova ends. The target loses ATK equal to 4% of Haniel's Base ATK, and each ally gains ATK equal to 8% of Haniel's Base ATK. The total drain is capped at 16% of Haniel's Base ATK, and the target cannot lose more than 20% of their initial ATK. Restores both parties' stats upon exiting combat.
