Haniel

PsycheBlow up the CrowdSterry Express

Haniel is a Buffer who increases her team's ATK and can also act as an off-field sub-DPS by dealing damage while switched out. Beyond her buffs and off-field damage, she does not offer much else, so you will usually apply her buffs and then quickly swap to another teammate.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Can increase the team's ATK with her buffs.
  • Deals damage while off-field, functioning as a sub-DPS.
  • Thrives alongside Lakshana or Chaos characters, enabling Stain or Nova.

Weaknesses

  • Offers little beyond her buffs and off-field damage.
  • Requires quick swapping to other team members after applying buffs.
  • Relies on Hootie's uptime and teammates to fully utilize her kit.

Best Teams

Haniel Discord Team

Haniel serves as the support for a Discord-focused team. She provides an ATK buff and additional damage, with Daffodill as the Sub-DPS. The final slot can be Adler or Sakiri for more support, or Jiuyuan for grouping and damage. Nanally, Hathor, or Baicang can fill the Main DPS role. Applying Nova and Scorch grants access to the Discord Eclipse Cycle.

Apply Scorch before Nova to activate Discord.

Use Haniel's Skill to buff the team's ATK, then swap to your DPS.

Use Haniel's Ultimate before her Skill to double her buffs.

Haniel Charge Team

Haniel serves as the support for a Charge team, providing an ATK buff and additional damage via Hootie. Hathor and Esper Zero act as Sub-DPS, enabling Stain and Remora Esper Cycles. Nanally is the Main DPS and can activate Blossom alongside Esper Zero. This team also benefits from the Charge Esper Cycle, charging Ultimates faster when Vita Pistils hit an enemy affected by Remora.

Apply Haniel's buffs before activating Charge.

Use Haniel's Ultimate before her Skill to maximize buff uptime.

Focus on charging Ultimates quickly via the Charge Esper Cycle.

How to Play

Haniel is a Buffer and off-field sub-DPS. Start with a Lakshana or Chaos character with full Cycle Energy so you can swap to Haniel and immediately trigger Stain or Nova. Use Haniel's Skill to place Hootie for an ATK buff, then swap to your DPS to trigger Hootie's additional attacks. Use her Ultimate before her Skill to double the buffs and extend uptime.

Rotations

  1. 1Sustain/Mitigation Skill → Haniel Ultimate → Haniel Skill → Swap to Sub-DPS

Tips

  • Use Haniel's Skill before switching to your Main or Sub-DPS to take advantage of the ATK boost.
  • Use her Ultimate before her Skill: Ultimate lasts 10s and Skill lasts 8s, giving complete uptime on both buffs.
  • In a Discord team, apply Scorch first, then Nova to activate Discord.
  • In a Charge team, apply Haniel's buffs before activating Charge.
  • Pair Haniel with Lakshana characters for Stain or Chaos characters for Nova; Chaos is preferred because Haniel steals ATK from enemies when Nova ends.
