Lacrimosa Discord (all-rounder)
Daffodil sets up Break and Discord, Sagiri adds Scorch synergy plus a team ATK buff, and Haniel buffs the active slot — opening strong damage windows for Lacrimosa's Nightmare DoT and Chaos damage.
Psyche element
Haniel
Psyche Solid Arc Buff T1
Haniel is a 4★ Psyche character of the Solid arc who fills a buffing role, making them a supportive option for teams looking to enhance their allies. Sitting at the T1 tier, Haniel ranks among the strongest choices in the current meta.
Best Arcs
- Best
- Blow up the Crowd
- F2P
- Blow up the Crowd (free)
- Cartridge
- Speedy Hedgehog
A fully F2P buffer: Blow up the Crowd — obtained early from the Beat King — boosts the active ally's ATK from the bench, making it her default best-in-slot. Speedy Hedgehog is the recommended cartridge for charge efficiency.
Recommended setups from community build guides (~June 2026); not the only viable option.
How Haniel plays
Haniel is a bench-based support whose value comes from amplifying whoever is on the field rather than dealing damage herself. She parks in the backline and channels an attack buff to the active ally, lifting their offensive output without demanding screen time or rotation slots. Her tempo is low-maintenance: drop her contribution, swap out, and let your carry run the show. This makes her a natural fit for hypercarry teams built around Daffodill, Fadia, and Baicang, where a single damage dealer soaks up the spotlight. She also slots cleanly into Break-focused lineups and a fully free-to-play core of Aurelia, Skia, and Edgar. Because her uptime is passive, she frees you to focus inputs on your primary attacker while she steadily reinforces their ATK from off-field.
Strengths
- Fully free-to-play viable, with her best-in-slot Arc obtainable early from the Beat King
- Boosts the active ally's ATK directly from the bench, requiring minimal field time
- Flexible across hypercarry, Break, and budget team compositions
- T1 tier placement makes her one of the strongest 4-star support options
- Low-input playstyle that leaves rotation focus on your main carry
- Psyche-element buffer that pairs naturally with multiple premier damage dealers
Weaknesses
- Contributes no meaningful personal damage, leaning entirely on the carry to perform
- Bench-support role means her ceiling is capped by your team's primary attacker
- Wants specific awakening nodes to reach full effectiveness
Haniel build details
Skill priority
Prioritize her Skill first, since that is the core of her buffing contribution and scales her support value most directly. Follow with the Ultimate to reinforce her amplification windows, then her Basic Attack, and finally the QTE last. As a support, raw personal damage matters least, so invest where her team-wide ATK boost benefits most.
Stat priority
For main stats, run CRIT Rate on Slot 1 and Psyche DMG on Slot 2. For substats, chase CRIT DMG above all, then DMG%, followed by CRIT Rate, and finally ATK%. This ordering keeps her aligned with amplifying offensive output while maintaining solid critical scaling for any personal contribution she makes.
Modules & cartridge
Speedy Hedgehog is her best-in-slot cartridge, chosen specifically for charge efficiency so her support cycles come online faster. Pair it with a four-piece Type 3 module set. Allocate stats toward CRIT Rate and Psyche DMG on the main slots, then fill substats following CRIT DMG, DMG%, CRIT Rate, and ATK% to keep her tuned for her buffing role.
Awakening nodes
Focus on A2 and A5 first, as these deliver the most impactful gains to her kit. A1 and A4 are also strong picks worth securing once the priorities are handled. A1 notably raises the Paranormal Cannon ricochet limit to 6, adding extra value to her progression.
Investment
Invest steadily to unlock her core support scaling, prioritizing the levels that strengthen her ATK buff. Her Arc, Blow up the Crowd, is the centerpiece and comes free from the Beat King, so funnel upgrade resources toward leveling her Skill and securing her key awakening nodes.

Zero's instant cycle and Hathor feed consistent Remora/Stain triggers while Haniel — paired with Chaos — enables Nova; widely cited as one of the strongest comps at launch.

Adler's shields give the team survivability while Mint, Zero and Haniel cover Hexed and Blossom reactions — a sturdy F2P backbone.
