Haniel

PsycheBlow up the CrowdSterry Express

Haniel is a support character who boosts the team's ATK and also functions as a sub-DPS through her off-field damage. She can quickly empower allies, but offers little beyond buffs and Hootie's attacks, so you will be switching to other team members often.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Increases the entire team's ATK with her Skill.
  • Deals reliable off-field damage through Hootie.
  • Fits both Discord and Charge team compositions.
  • Can trigger Chaos Eclipse and apply Nova when paired with Chaos characters.
  • Works well as a pure support in many teams.

Weaknesses

  • Doesn't offer much beyond her buffs and off-field damage.
  • Requires frequent character swapping to maximize effectiveness.
  • Her best Cartridge and Arc rely on being off-field.
  • Needs good team synergies to truly shine.

Best Teams

Haniel Discord Team

Haniel supports a Discord-focused team by providing ATK buffs and Hootie's off-field damage, while Daffodill, Nanally, and Adler or their alternatives create the right elemental reactions.

Start with Haniel and use her Ultimate then Skill to place Hootie and buff the team before swapping to your DPS.

Apply Scorch before Nova to trigger Discord, since Haniel can apply Nova as a Psyche character.

Keep Haniel off-field after buffing so Blow up the Crowd continues to buff the active character.

Haniel Charge Team

Instead of Discord, Haniel can support a Charge team with her ATK buff and Hootie's damage. Hathor and Esper Zero enable Stain and Remora, while Nanally serves as the main DPS.

Use Haniel's Skill to place Hootie and buff your team, then swap to Nanally for damage.

Hathor and Esper Zero apply Stain and Remora, enabling Charge and Remora Esper Cycles.

Take advantage of the Charge Cycle to charge Ultimates faster when Vita Pistils hit enemies affected by Remora.

Skill Priority

3

Easter Egg Time (Support Skill)

Since Haniel is mostly off-field, level her Support Skill next to improve her damage when switching in.

3

Genesse Technique (Basic Attack)

Haniel rarely uses her Basic Attack, so this should be leveled last.

5

Silent Moonlit Forest Guardian (Skill)

Haniel's Skill is the most important part of her kit, as it buffs the team and provides off-field damage. Prioritize leveling this skill.

5

A Melody Named Haniel (Ultimate)

Her Ultimate empowers the effects of her Skill, so level this second.

How to Play

Haniel is an off-field support and sub-DPS. Use her Skill to summon Hootie and buff the team's ATK, then swap to your main DPS. Cast her Ultimate before her Skill to maximize buff uptime, and pair her with Chaos or Lakshana characters to enable Nova and Stain.

Rotations

  1. 1Sustain/Mitigation Skill → Haniel Ultimate → Haniel Skill → Swap to Sub-DPS.
  2. 2In a Discord team: Apply Scorch first → Haniel applies Nova → Discord triggers.

Tips

  • Use her Skill to place Hootie and apply ATK buffs to the whole team.
  • Activate her Ultimate before her Skill to double the buff uptime and make Hootie more powerful.
  • Swap to your main or sub-DPS after she casts her Skill to take advantage of Hootie's attacks.
  • Pair her with Lakshana or Chaos characters to gain access to Stain or Nova, and trigger Discord in the right team.
