How to Get Haniel? A Completely Free Launch Essential
Haniel is a reward character unlocked for the 30 million global pre-registration milestone. Any player who completes pre-registration before the official launch can claim her for free after logging in on April 29. Even if you didn’t pre-register, some regions may provide alternative ways to claim her after launch.
Since Haniel is a free character, there is no need to pull for her in the gacha. To increase her Awakening level, you can accumulate duplicate character shards through future events or the permanent board system.
Haniel Core Mechanics: Hootie and the Ensemble System
To fully utilize Haniel’s support capabilities, you must first understand her unique “Hootie” mechanism and Ensemble trigger system. All of Haniel’s buff effects revolve around her small speaker assistant, Hootie.
Hootie Continuous Buff
After Haniel uses her skill “Silent Moonlit Forest,” she throws out Hootie to the battlefield. While Hootie is present, all team members receive an ATK bonus based on Haniel’s base ATK. This buff persists when switching characters, allowing the main DPS to benefit continuously. Only one Hootie can exist at a time; casting the skill again refreshes the duration rather than adding an extra speaker.
Four-Part Harmony and Ensemble
When the active character attacks, Hootie accumulates 1 stack of “Four-Part Harmony” every 0.5 seconds, up to 4 stacks. Upon reaching 4 stacks, it triggers Ensemble, dealing AOE Psyche damage around Hootie. The counter resets after each Ensemble, creating a loop. The high frequency of Ensemble allows Haniel to contribute significant extra damage while supporting.
Paranormal Ace State
After activating Haniel’s Ultimate “A Melody Named Haniel,” she enters the “Paranormal Ace” state:
- Team ATK buff is significantly increased (calculated based on Haniel’s base ATK)
- When Ensemble triggers, an additional enhanced Ensemble Symphony is triggered around the active character, with increased damage and range
- Each time Ensemble triggers, the active character’s next attack gains an extra damage bonus for 3 seconds
- Hootie’s duration timer pauses and resumes after Haniel leaves the Ace state
Nova Enhancement Passive
Haniel’s passive skill “We are Friends!” absorbs 8% of Haniel’s base ATK from the target at 200% efficiency when the Nova state ends, distributing it as ATK to all team members. This mechanism allows Haniel to further supplement the team’s ATK output when fighting elite monsters and bosses.
Skill Analysis
Understanding the details of each skill helps in making the best tactical decisions during combat.
| Skill Type | Skill Name | Effect Description |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | Genesse Technique | Fires magic bullets, up to a 5-hit combo, dealing Psyche damage |
| Charged Attack | Paranormal Cannon | Hold Normal Attack to charge and fire a powerful shell forward |
| Plunging Attack | Paranormal Descent | Press Normal Attack in mid-air to dive; damage increases with height, up to 200% multiplier |
| Perfect Dodge Counter | Ace Sweep | Immediately fires a fully charged Paranormal Cannon after a Perfect Dodge, reducing enemy Armor Break value |
| Skill | Silent Moonlit Forest | Throws Hootie to provide continuous ATK buffs; triggers Ensemble damage after 4 stacks of Four-Part Harmony |
| Ultimate | A Melody Named Haniel | Enters Paranormal Ace state, significantly boosting team ATK buffs and triggering enhanced Ensemble Symphony |
| Support Skill | Easter Egg Time | Fires 1 magic bullet when switching in, dealing Psyche damage |
Awakening Analysis and Priority
Haniel’s Awakening system (A1–A6) is unlocked by accumulating shards. Each node strengthens different aspects of her skills.
| Awakening | Name | Effect | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | Newborn! Genius Transfer Student! | Max hits of Paranormal Cannon increased to 6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Priority |
| A6 | Finale! Welcoming the Dawn! | Hootie’s cooldown reduced by 4 seconds | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Priority |
| A2 | Legend! Golden Back Row Window Seat! | Hootie’s duration extended by 4 seconds | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Priority |
| A3 | Assemble! Hero Team Formed! | Haniel’s Crit Rate +20% during Paranormal Ace state | ⭐⭐⭐ Medium |
| A5 | Crisis! Trust Collapse! | Haniel’s Psyche DMG +30% during Paranormal Ace state | ⭐⭐⭐ Medium |
| A4 | Seaside! Beach Episode! | Next attack extra damage +100% when Ensemble triggers in Ace state | ⭐⭐ Low |
Recommended Priority: A1 > A6 > A2 > A3 > A5 > A4
A1 and A6 are Haniel’s most critical nodes. A1 directly boosts the damage of Paranormal Cannon, while A6 reduces Hootie’s cooldown, allowing for faster redeployment of buffs. A2 extends Hootie’s duration, further improving buff uptime.
Resonance Analysis
Haniel’s Resonance system is divided into two levels, requiring Resonance points to unlock:
| Resonance Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| Prequel | Increases the skill levels of Genesse Technique, Silent Moonlit Forest, and A Melody Named Haniel by 1 |
| Sequel | During Paranormal Ace state, the entire team’s Crit DMG is increased by an additional 12% |
The 12% team-wide Crit DMG boost from the Sequel Resonance is a significant support bonus, especially for Crit-dependent main DPS characters like Xun, Nanally, and Jiuyuan.
Best Arc Recommendations
Since Haniel’s buffs are directly calculated based on her base ATK, Arc selection should focus on increasing base ATK, buff magnitude, and skill cycle efficiency.
| Rank | Arc Name | Effect | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| S-Tier | Camellia Society | Gains Crit DMG bonus when HP decreases (up to 4 stacks); unlocks unique skill “Silent Garden” | Haniel’s signature Arc, effectively boosting the output of Paranormal Cannon and Ensemble |
| A-Tier | Youthful Fantasy | Increases Shield Break strength by 88; features special chain mechanism skill “Black Codex” | Suitable for teams focused on Shield Breaking, especially when paired with characters like Daffodill |
| A-Tier | Umbrella | HP +18%; Shield strength +18% when HP is above 50% | A stable all-purpose choice for early to mid-game when resources are limited |
| A-Tier | Drawn Blade | Deals extra magic damage when triggering Perfect Dodge Counter | Suitable for players who enjoy active gameplay with Haniel, focusing on skill-triggered playstyles |
For most players, if you haven’t obtained the signature “Camellia Society,” any A-rank Solid Arc (prioritizing ATK% or Energy Recharge) will ensure Haniel provides stable buffs.
Best Cassette Module Recommendations
Cassette modules are vital for boosting Haniel’s stats. Since her buffs scale with base ATK, here is the recommended stat priority:
Main Stat Priority
| Priority | Stat | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Top Priority | ATK% | Directly increases Haniel’s base ATK, scaling her buff effects proportionally |
| High Priority | Energy Recharge / CD Reduction | Speeds up Ultimate and Skill cycles, ensuring higher uptime for Paranormal Ace state |
| Medium | Psyche DMG% | Increases Haniel’s own damage and Ensemble/Symphony contributions |
| Medium | Crit Rate / Crit DMG | Boosts Ensemble output and Paranormal Cannon burst during Ace state |
| Support | Shield Break Strength | Useful when cooperating with Shield Break teams to trigger more combos |
It is recommended to look for 2-piece + 4-piece sets that boost Psyche damage or provide team buffs. In the early game, focus on stable farmable sets, then transition to top-tier modules later. Sub-stats should target Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK%, and Energy Recharge.
Best Team Recommendations
Haniel’s team composition is very flexible: Main DPS + Shield Break Sub-DPS + Haniel + Flex Slot. She fits into almost any team, especially those emphasizing burst output.
Team 1: Dual Burst Rotation (General High Damage)
| Position | Character | Role | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | Daffodill | Chaos DPS | Primary burst damage dealer, the core during skill windows |
| Sub-DPS | Nanally | Anima Follow-up | Fills output gaps during Daffodill’s cooldowns |
| Buff Support | Haniel | Psyche ATK Buff | Provides continuous ATK buffs and frequent Ensemble damage |
| Stable DPS | Baicang | Spell DPS | Ensures stable damage during non-burst periods |
Team 2: Psyche Synergy (Attribute Specialized)
| Position | Character | Role | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | Sakiri | Spell Control | Crowd control + high buff offensive support, +30% Base ATK |
| Sub-DPS/Break | Jiuyuan | Anima Ranged Burst | High AOE damage; can heal the team after A2 |
| Buff Support | Haniel | Psyche ATK Buff | Dual buffs (Haniel + Sakiri) significantly boost DPS damage |
| Heal/Protect | Lacrimosa | Chaos DPS/Utility | Provides extra output; can be replaced by a healer like Edgar |
Team 3: F2P Friendly (Mostly Free Characters)
- Haniel (Support, Free) + Zero (Free MC Main DPS) + Permanent S-Rank Selector + Flex Support (Edgar/Adler)
- This setup can easily clear the main story and daily tasks.
- Haniel’s ATK buff significantly improves Zero’s map-clearing ability.
Combat Rotation Guide
Haniel’s operation is intuitive, but maximizing efficiency in high-difficulty content requires attention to these points:
- Start: Deploy Hootie — Switch to Haniel and immediately use her skill to deploy Hootie for instant ATK buffs.
- Accumulate Harmony — Keep attacking with the active character to trigger Ensemble quickly. Haniel can use Normal Attacks to build “Plot Armor” stacks.
- Build Ultimate Energy — Fill the energy bar through attacks and Ensemble triggers. Once full, switch to Haniel and cast her Ultimate to enter Paranormal Ace state.
- Paranormal Ace Burst — During the Ace state, switch to your main DPS for maximum damage. This is the golden window for peak output.
- Support Skill Cycle — Use Haniel’s Support Skill when switching characters to add extra damage and refresh Hootie’s duration.
- Maintain Hootie — Monitor Hootie’s duration and refresh it before it expires. A6 Awakening makes this much easier.
Pro Tip: Deploy Hootie in the center of the battlefield to ensure Ensemble hits all surrounding enemies. Adjust its position if enemies move out of range.

Editor’s View: Don’t Underestimate This Free Character!
Haniel is a classic “looks average, plays amazing” character. Many new players might initially think she’s just a “free A-rank,” but her impact on total team damage far exceeds what her rarity suggests.
Her Hootie buff mechanism has a practical advantage: she doesn’t need to stay on the field to be effective. This “set-and-forget” style makes her beginner-friendly while offering enough depth for advanced players to squeeze out more DPS through precise rotation timing.
For those starting NTE, my advice is: prioritize unlocking Haniel’s A1 and A6 Awakenings. These nodes significantly improve her buff coverage and make the overall combat experience much smoother. No matter which team you choose, Haniel is almost always a safe and powerful addition.
