Haniel

Psyche Blow up the Crowd Sterry Express

Haniel is one of the game's Buffers, capable of increasing the team's ATK. Not only that, but she can also serve as a team's sub-DPS thanks to her ability to deal damage while off-field. However, she does not offer much else apart from her buffs and off-field damage. Because of this, you will be quickly switching to other members of your team after applying buffs with Haniel.

  • Deals damage while off-field via Hootie

How to Play

If you have a Lakshana or Chaos character with full Cycle Energy, start combat with them to trigger Stain or Nova immediately. Use Haniel's Skill to place Hootie for ATK buffs, then swap to main DPS. Activate her Ultimate before Skill for maximum buff duration. In Discord teams, apply Scorch first then Nova. In Charge teams, use buffs before activating Charge.

Rotations

  1. 1 Sustain/Mitigation Skill → Haniel Ultimate → Haniel Skill → Swap to Sub-DPS (Standard rotation for maximum buff uptime).

Tips

  • Use her Skill to buff allies and trigger additional attacks via Hootie's Four-Part Harmony.
  • Activate Ultimate before Skill to empower Hootie and double buff effects.
  • Team her with Lakshana or Chaos characters to access powerful Esper Cycles.
  • She thrives in Discord teams where she can steal ATK from enemies.
