Hathor Build Guide

LakshanaSterry ExpressView Character

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

  • Deals large bursts of Lakshana DMG with her Ultimate and empowered Skill.
  • Express Delivery Power stacks charge her Ultimate quickly, enabling frequent burst windows.
  • Can cast empowered Skill up to three times in a row when fully stacked.
  • Synergizes well with Remora and Stain teams, especially with Chaos.

Weaknesses

  • Damage output depends heavily on maintaining Express Delivery Power stacks.
  • Requires careful Skill timing and holding to maximize stack generation.
  • Strongest with specific Arc and Cartridge setups; alternatives are less impactful.
  • Burst playstyle may struggle against enemies that are hard to hit or knock up.

Best Main Stat: CRIT DMG or Lakshana DMG Bonus

  • Hathor gets extra CRIT Rate from her Passive Skill and Engine Resonance, so CRIT DMG is usually the best Main Stat.
  • If you already have high CRIT DMG from substats, choose Lakshana DMG Bonus instead to avoid diminishing returns.

Impact Point Designation (Support Skill)

Hathor's Support Skill deals a good amount of damage, so improve this when you have extra resources.

Because Hathor can quickly charge her Ultimate, upgrade it next to increase her damage output.

5

Aerial Command (Skill)

A bulk of Hathor's damage will come from her Skill. As such, prioritize improving this first.

How to Play

Hathor's gameplay loop revolves around building Express Delivery Power stacks with her Skill, using Basic Attacks to charge her Ultimate, and then unleashing her Ultimate and empowered Skill for massive damage. Start fights with a Psyche or Cosmos ally to trigger Stain or Remora, then swap to Hathor to begin her burst combo.

Rotations

  1. 1Jiuyuan Skill → Haniel Skill → Haniel Ultimate → Swap to Hathor (Stain Trigger) → Swap to Esper Zero → Esper Zero Skill → Esper Zero Ultimate → Swap to Hathor (Remora Trigger) → Hathor Skill (Hold if possible) → Hathor Ultimate → Hathor Empowered Skill 3x → Swap to Esper Zero (Refresh Remora) → Esper Zero Skill → Swap to Jiuyuan (Blossom Trigger) → Jiuyuan Ultimate

Tips

  • Use a Psyche or Cosmos character with full Cycle Energy to trigger Stain or Remora before swapping to Hathor.
  • Hold the Skill button to enter a charge state; getting attacked grants 3 Express Delivery Power stacks per hit.
  • Use Basic Attack combos and the knockup attack while her Skill is on cooldown to build Ultimate Energy.
  • Always use Ultimate when you have full stacks to enter Emergency Delivery state and cast empowered Skill three times.
  • Cast the empowered Skill casts quickly in succession; pausing will end the chain early.
