Haniel's Stat Priority
Because her buff is based on her own Attack value, it is best to prioritize gaining as many Attack increases as possible. After Attack, CRIT and Universal damage bonuses are good to prioritize for her personal damage contribution.
Haniel's Skill Priority
Chances are, if you're playing Haniel you do so to get the most out of her supporting capabilities. Both her Skill and Ultimate provide a team-wide ATK% bonus, which scales with the level of the ability. You therefore want to increase it over her Basic Attack or Support Skill, to fully leverage her team-support potential.
Haniel's Awakening Priority
If you have one or multiple copies of a character, you will be able to select Awakenings of your choosing. The following is a recommendation of what order to generally select for Haniel's Awakenings. Remember that you can switch them at any time to try out different ones, or tailor your choices for a specific fight or situation.
| Awakening Unlock Order | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Legendary! The g'old back row window seat! (A2) |
This Awakening should be your first priority, as it increases her Skill's duration, allowing her to have her ATK buff on her team for longer. |
| Finale! For the coming dawn! (A6) |
Her second recommended Awakening is her A6, which decreases her Skill's cooldown. When combined with Haniel's A2, they reduce her minimum buff downtime from 12 seconds to only 4 seconds. |
| New here! Genius transfer student reporting in! (A1) |
This is her next recommended Awakening, as it increases the number of ricochets of her Paranormal Cannon, allowing her attack to hit more enemies. It is not as useful against single-targets. |
| Assemble! The hero team is formed! (A3) |
This Awakening increases her CRIT Chance during her Ultimate state, improving her personal damage. |
| Crisis! Shattering trust! (A5) |
While she is in her Ultimate state, this Awakening increases her Psyche DMG. Similar to her A3, this does a lot to help improve her own damage during her Ultimate. |
| Seaside! Beach episode! (A4) |
Her A4 is the last recommended Awakening to unlock. While it increases her damage in her Ultimate state similarly to her A3 and A5, it is much more rotation dependent. The damage boost requires her to be the only one triggering Ensemble, which can be difficult to play around for maximum damage potential during rotations. |
How to Play Haniel
Haniel's is a buff-support character who is largely played off-field. She does best with quick rotations, switching on-field to refresh her buff, use her Paranormal Cannon Basic Attack, and her Ultimate, if available, before being swapped out again.
Once the game has launched, and we had an opportunity to play around with all the characters, we will be updating this section with more specific rotational advice and how to set up specific combos for Esper Cycles or burst windows!
