Pull VerdictRecommended

Worth selector if you already have a main DPS. Haniel's Cycle charging and damage amplification are unique support capabilities.

Haniel is the premier Psyche support — her mark debuff and Cycle charging enable faster Ultimate rotations for your entire team. She's essential for endgame content where kill speed matters more than sustain. Pair with Fadia for double Cycle charging dominance.

Skills & Role Summary

Haniel is a Psyche Support who provides team-wide buffs and Esper Cycle acceleration, making her a key enabler for reaction-based teams. Her Skill applies a Psyche mark to enemies that increases all damage taken by the marked target — effectively a team-wide damage amplifier. Her Ultimate grants the team a burst of Cycle meter and ATK bonus for 15 seconds, enabling rapid Ultimate rotations. Unlike {character:edgar} who heals after damage, Haniel prevents damage by amplifying your team's kill speed. The core loop is: Skill to mark enemies → Ultimate for Cycle + ATK burst → swap to DPS for amplified damage during the buff window. She pairs best with Cosmos characters like {character:chiz} for Cycle-enabling burst rotations.
