B TierHaniel Build Guide
Haniel is a Buffer who increases the team's ATK and deals off-field damage via Hootie. However, she offers little beyond her buffs and off-field damage, so you will quickly switch to other party members after applying buffs.
Strengths
- ATK buffer for the team
- Off-field damage from Hootie
- Can serve as a sub-DPS
Weaknesses
- Limited utility outside buffs and off-field damage
- Requires frequent switching to maximize effectiveness
