Overview
Hathor is a burst DPS built entirely around a big payoff. She stockpiles Express Delivery Power and Ultimate Energy, then dumps it all in one explosive Ultimate → Cyclone Strike sequence. Her damage is spiky rather than steady — you build toward a window and then delete the target.
Strengths
- Enormous single-window burst damage
- Excellent against priority targets and bosses
- Slots into a dedicated burst-enabler team
- Very satisfying, decisive payoff loop
Weaknesses
- The charging animation leaves her exposed — timing matters
- Energy-reliant; her damage clusters into windows
- Wants specific enablers to charge fast enough
Best build direction
Build Hathor to maximise that one hit: prioritise ATK, CRIT and Ultimate/Charge efficiency so her burst window comes up as often as possible. An Arc and cartridge that boost Ultimate damage or charge speed are ideal — everything funnels into the Cyclone Strike payoff.
Her wind-up is her weak point. Fire the burst when the target is stunned, grouped, or your team has bought you a safe window — not into an active boss combo.
Best team — burst enablers
Hathor — burst carry
Charge up, then unload the Ultimate → Cyclone Strike.
Esper Zero — charge enabler
Helps trigger Charge and stockpile Ultimate Energy fast.
Jiuyuan — Sub-DPS
Field control and extra damage between Hathor's windows.
She also appears alongside Chaos in his Remora comp as a burst amplifier.
