Hana

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -RES

• Weapon: Firesweep Sword+

• Assist: Reposition / Ardent Sacrifice / Flexible

• Special: Moonbow / Glimmer / Dragon Fang / Astra / Galeforce

• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo / Life and Death

• Passive B: Chill Def / Chill Spd / Hit and Run

• Passive C: Even Spd Wave / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Heavy Blade / Flashing Blade / Speed +3 / Attack +3

With the Firesweep Sword, Hana’s defenses are no longer of issue to her and she is able to go all-in on player phase and cause immense amounts of damage.

The Firesweep Sword prevents all enemy counterattacks on player phase, allowing Hana to safely utilize her amazing offensive power. This does come at the drawback of not being able to retaliate on enemy phase. With a Speed or Attack Boon, Hana’s offensive power is pushed even further, allowing her to deal more damage or Attack with greater doubling potential.

Hana has a lot of options for her special, with many options being great choices. Moonbow and Glimmer can charge in just a single attack with Heavy Blade active, allowing her to potentially utilize it every round of combat if she doubles. Dragon Fang and Astra both allow Hana to make great use of her amazing Attack and can fully charge in two hits assuming Heavy Blade activates. Do note that the power of Glimmer and Astra depends on how much damage Hana does, so a zero damage hit will still yield zero damage with either Special. Finally, Galeforce can also be used to good effect. Though it won't grant Hana any extra damage on attacks, the ability to perform an action after combat can be extremely powerful. Moonbow or Glimmer is the personal recommended option, but all are great on Hana so pick whichever works best for you. Her assist is open for the most part. Reposition works well as a good positioning skill while Ardent Sacrifice is good if you want to utilize Wrath, though it is not recommended without Wrath.

Atk/Spd Solo is a fantastic A slot choice, granting Hana with a huge offensive boost whenever she has no nearby allies. Her default Life and Death skill is another strong A slot option. Given that the enemy can’t counter Hana on player phase, her defenses are no longer an issue and Hana can safely dump them for much greater offensive potential. Chill Skills also synergizes extremely well with Firesweep weapons. Both Chill Def and Chill Spd would benefit Hana in different ways. At a budget option, Hit and Run allows Hana to move back one space after combat, helping her to retreat to safety after an attack or at least be positioned in a way that lets another ally help her out of danger. A Wave skill such as Even Spd Wave works extremely well for Hana, allowing her to boost herself every other turn. In actuality though, the C slot remains extremely open and one should consider their team composition in order to see if another C slot would benefit the team more.

Finally, both Heavy Blade and Flashing Blade makes for excellent options in the Sacred Seal slot. As Hana has high Attack and Speed, both work extremely well. A simple Speed or Attack boosting Seal is also a good option.

• Preferred IV: +ATK or +SPD / -RES

• Weapon: Brave Sword+

• Assist: Ardent Sacrifice / Flexible

• Special: Luna / Draconic Aura

• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo / Swift Sparrow / Life and Death

• Passive B: Desperation

• Passive C: Even Atk Wave / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Attack +3 / Speed +3

With her amazing offenses, Hana can make great use of the Brave Sword. This weapon allows Hana to perform an immediate follow-up attack after her first at the cost of 5 Speed. The Brave Sword can even perform four attacks should Hana naturally double her opponent.

An Attack boon is recommended for a Brave Sword Hana, boosting her high Attack even higher. A Speed boon can also work as well, helping Hana with her quad potential. Ardent Sacrifice makes for a great assist with this build as a single use of it will drop Hana below 75% HP, allowing her to immediately drop into Desperation range. Apart from Ardent Sacrifice, the assist slot is flexible. Luna is the recommended special of choice as it helps Hana to deal extra damage by halving the enemy defenses. Draconic Aura also works nice, dealing extra damage based on Hana’s Attack stat.

Atk/Spd Solo is a fantastic choice in the A slot, granting Hana with a huge offensive boost whenever she has no adjacent allies. Swift Sparrow makes for another great choice in the A slot, boosting Hana’s Speed and Attack whenever she initiates combat. Her default Life and Death is also great as it provides a bonus five points to Attack and Speed, though at the cost of her already low defenses. Desperation allows Hana to perform any follow-up attack immediately after her first attack on player phase should she be below 75% HP and naturally double. This means Hana can potentially perform four powerful attacks before the opponent even has a chance to fight back. A Chill skill such as Chill Spd or Chill Def will also make for great choices. A Wave skill such as Even Atk Wave makes for a great C slot, allowing Hana to boost her own stats every other turn. As usual though, the C slot is open to many different options and one should choose what would benefit their team the most.

A simple Attack boost in the Sacred Seal slot will work great with a Brave Sword, because more Attack is always useful when running a Brave weapon of any kind. A Speed boost also works well to help Hana quad even more.

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -RES or HP

• Weapon: Wo Dao+ (+Spd) / Slaying Edge+ (+Spd)

• Assist: Reposition / Ardent Sacrifice / Flexible

• Special: Glimmer / Moonbow / Luna

• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo / Swift Sparrow / Life and Death

• Passive B: Wrath / Desperation

• Passive C: Threaten Def / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Speed +3 / Attack +3

With a weapon such as the Wo Dao or the Slaying Edge, Hana is capable of dealing massive amounts of burst damage through utilizing her special and great offensive stats.

You’ll want an Attack or Speed boon with this setup, both work well helping with Hana’s offensive potential in different ways. A Resistance bane is best in general, but you’ll want a HP bane if you plan to utilize Ardent Sacrifice with a forged weapon. The Wo Dao makes for a great weapon, adding +10 damage to Hana’s special, making it a great offensive sword. The Slaying Edge is also great, reducing Hana’s special cooldown by 1 and thus allowing her to proc her special faster. Which one you choose is personal preference. On both, a Speed forge will do good, helping with Hana’s doubling potential.

The special is an important choice to make with this setup. Both Glimmer and Moonbow have cooldowns of two, allowing them to proc very quickly. Luna can also be used, but the higher cooldown means it isn’t as consistent as Moonbow or Glimmer. The assist is open to your preference. Reposition makes for a fine positioning choice whereas Ardent Sacrifice can instantly put Hana into the activation range of Wrath or Desperation so long as she has a HP bane or no forged weapon.

Atk/Spd Solo is a fantastic A slot choice, granting a large offensive boost to Hana so long as she does not have any adjacent allies. Swift Sparrow makes for another great choice for the A slot, increasing Hana’s offensive potential on Player Phase. Life and Death also makes for a good option, boosting Hana’s offenses further than Swift Sparrow though at the cost of her defenses. Wrath is a great choice for this build, helping Hana activate her special faster and adding +10 extra damage to her special and yes, Wo Dao and Wrath do stack. Desperation also makes for a good budget option, allowing Hana to perform any follow-up attack immediately on player phase if she’s below 75% HP. Threaten Def cuts the defenses of any enemy around Hana by 5, helping her to deal even more damage. The C slot remains open regardless and if something other than Threaten Def would benefit

Top off this build with a simple Attack or Speed seal and you’ll have one strong offensive sword unit in Hana.

• Preferred IV: +ATK or +SPD / -RES

• Weapon: Slaying Edge+ (+Spd) / Wo Dao (+Spd) / Armorsmasher (+Atk)

• Assist: Reposition / Flexible

• Special: Aether / Draconic Aura / Dragon Fang

• Passive A: Steady Breath / Close Def / Fury

• Passive B: Guard / Renewal / Quick Riposte

• Passive C: Threaten Def / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Close Def / Speed +3

This set is only recommended if you plan to merge Hana up to +10, as that is where this build truly shines. Hana is not a character known for her bulk, but that doesn’t mean she can’t be used in a Enemy Phase build. Thanks to the powerful Steady Breath, Hana can be a very potent and sustainable unit for defensive play.

An Attack or Speed boon will help Hana offensively. Speed in particular not only helps Hana with doubling but also helps Hana to avoid being doubled which helps her defensively. Dropping Resistance is recommended to allow her to preserve her physical bulk. The Slaying Edge is a powerful weapon that reduced Special Cooldown by 1. When used in combination with skills such as Aether and Steady Breath, Hana can potentially activate Aether during every single round of combat. The Wo Dao is another great choice, boosting the power of Hana’s Special attacks. The Armoursmasher is also a fantastic choice, especially in higher scoring arena matches thanks to the abundance of armored units in that high score range. The Assist is open to personal preference, with Reposition is a nice safe choice that allows Hana to help with positioning. Though expensive, Aether is the ideal Special. With Steady Breath and Slaying Edge, Aether can activate every round should Hana double her opponent, giving her incredible offensive power and sustainability. Draconic Aura is another great option with the Slaying Edge as it’ll activate without fail should Hana be attacked. Dragon Fang works great with Steady Breath and a Wo Dao for a devastatingly powerful attack.

Steady Breath is the optimal A slot skill, giving Hana with a good defense boost, as well as making every action reduce Special cooldown by 2 instead of one. Close Def is an alternative that gives Hana a solid defensive boost whenever she is attacked in close range. As a budget option, Fury gives Hana a nice boost to all stats, though the chip damage can hinder her somewhat. Guard makes for a solid B slot, preventing the enemy from charging their Special while fighting Hana. Renewal is a strong alternative, particularly with Fury, granting Hana some self sustainability without having to rely on a Special such as Aether. Quick Riposte is another option to guarantee that Hana performs a follow up on Enemy Phase against even the fastest of opponents. The C slot is open to one’s own judgment and what Hana brings should depend on your team composition. A safe general choice is Threaten Def which allows Hana to debuff the defense of the enemies around her.

For the Sacred Seal, Close Def is a solid option that helps Hana defensively when attacked in close range. A simple Speed Sacred Seal also works well to increase Hana’s doubling potential and make her even better at avoiding double attacks.
