Review
Haru is a DPS Carry with a kit focused on buffing her expensive cards to deal massive damage. Her main card, “Anchor Shot”, amps up every time it is used, up to five times, allowing Haru to snowball her damage into big numbers during longer fights. She can do both AoE and single-target damage. Although her playstyle may seem overly expensive and tricky at first, there are several ways to build around her and adapt to AP needs and different teams, regardless of having an AP generator in the team or not.
If you like big nukes and characters that hit hard, she may be a good pick for you. If you prefer fast but constant, smaller hits, however, she may not be your jam.
Pros
Decent AoE and Great Single-Target damage.
Can tutor her signature card back to hand.
Good in-built damage scaling.
Ego skill gains extra scaling based on the number of buffs owned (counting both from herself, equipment, other Combatants, etc.)
Cons
Very expensive cards and kit.
The scaling mechanic requires cycling the deck many times.
Haru ratings aren't available yet. We will add them within a week of the launch.
Key mechanics
- Retain: Many of Haru’s buffing cards have the Retain tag, which allows them to be held in the hand and not discarded between turns.
- Multiplicative +% DMG: Haru’s kit features both Additive +% and Multiplicative +% DMG buffs, and understanding the difference between them is important to knowing how she scales. Multiplicative +% Increased DMG improves only the base card damage multiplier by the listed amount (e.g., 100% increased by 120% is 240%).
- Additive +% DMG: Additive +% doesn’t interact with the base damage multiplier of cards and instead adds its listed amount on top of whatever the cards' listed damage shows (e.g, 100% +40% is 140%).
How Anchor Shot’s damage works
Anchor Shot Haru’s main card gains a crazy amount of buffs, here is how they all stack up so you can understand them easily:
( Anchor Shot Base Damage x (1 + Sum of all Multiplicative +% Bonuses) ) + Sum of all Additive +% Bonuses
Power Strike
Ego Skill
Increases damage by +50% for each buff currently held.
Power Strike
Costs 6 AP, deals 350% Damage, increasing by +50% Damage for each unique buff. A good single target damage card, especially if you have multiple buff sources.
Anchor
Anchor
Haru’s basic attack card. It costs 1 AP, and at Potential Node 3-1, an extra effect is added, causing it to apply an additive +10% boost to “Anchor Shot” every time it's used, without a ceiling.
Power Anchor
Power Anchor
A more expensive version of Haru’s basic attack card. It costs 2 AP and scales slightly better for the AP spent. Also gains the same extra effect from Potential 3-1.
Anchor Drop
Show Effects
Anchor Drop
Haru’s basic shield card. It costs 1 AP and doesn't have any extra synergy with her kit.
Anchor Shot
+60% Damage for each time this card has been used (Max 5).
Show Effects
Anchor Shot
Haru’s signature card. It costs 2 AP, and starts out at 240% Damage. It gains an additive +60% Damage each time it is played, up to a total of 540% damage after being played 5 times. This card also has the [Pulverize] tag, which allows it to deal +20% more damage against enemies with shields.
Anchor Pointer
Anchor Pointer
A 0 Cost Skill Card that moves “Anchor Shot” back to hand, if it is in the Draw Pile or Graveyard. Notably, this overrides the restriction to returning cards to hand the same turn they were played, because the card says “Move” instead of “Draw”. It’s important to note, however, that if you already have an “Anchor Shot” card on hand, this card won’t work. You need to play that other “Anchor Shot” first before using “Anchor Pointer” to draw another. Unfortunately, this card doesn’t have [Retain] and doesn’t get it from any Epiphany, requiring a bit of planning ahead or an AP battery for cases like that.
Power Charge
If single target, +80% Damage.
Power Charge
A 2 Cost Attack Card that deals 180% damage to all enemies, but deals +80% damage if there is only one enemy. A very versatile card that deals decent damage in both AoE and single-target scenarios, though against single targets, Anchor Shot should have priority due to its scaling mechanic.
Charge Energy
Show Effects
Charge Energy
A 1 Cost Skill with the [Retain] effect, that grants a multiplicative +30% Damage buff to Haru's Attack cards. The [Retain] effect makes it easy to hold on to this card until you have the spare AP to play it. It can also be strategically held as a way of thinning the deck to more easily draw Anchor Shot. Works well with Power Charge in AoE scenarios.
Lift Anchor
Show Effects
Lift Anchor
A 0 Cost Skill card with the [Retain] effect, that gives “Anchor Shot” a sizable multiplicative +70% Damage buff for 1 turn, at the cost of making it 1 AP more expensive. Great if you have the extra AP to use a more expensive Anchor Shot, and can be held for deck thinning purposes, much like Charge Energy.
Haru’s key potential nodes are extra damage multipliers, which increase her damage potential overall.
- 3-1: Gives her Anchor card the text: +10% (additive) Anchor Shot Damage, as well as increasing the Anchor and Power Anchor card damage by 20%.
- 5-1: A 5% increase to damage of Haru’s Anchor and Power Anchor cards, increasing by another 5% if her Attack is above 500.
- 7: A 10% increase to the Anchor Shot Card’s Damage, increasing by another 10% if her Attack is greater than 1000.
Standard Playstyle
The bulk of Haru’s damage comes from her “Anchor Shot” card, so we want to play it as often as possible, tutoring it back to hand with her “Anchor Pointer” card. Haru also has great AoE and single-target damage potential in the form of her versatile “Power Charge” and her basic Attack cards, which can be buffed by Haru’s Charge Energy card to help deal with enemy swarms. Haru benefits greatly from teammates with deck manipulation and card draw for faster cycling, and of course, AP generation to fuel her huge costs.
There are essentially three main ways to play Haru:
- Economic Version: Epiphanies V for “Charge Energy” and “Power Charge” can reduce the cost of her cards in a way or another, enabling her to be slotted into teams that don’t have an AP battery. Another way to play around this is to use Combatants or Neutral cards that automatically play other cards at no cost.
- Critical Version: Ideal if you have a reliable AP battery and Crit-oriented Memory Fragments. Epiphany V for “Anchor Pointer” increases “Anchor Shot”’s Critical Rate by 25%, while the signature card gets an effect to return to hand after a Critical hit if with Epiphany V. Haru’s Potential Nodes 5 and 6 further increase her Critical Rate and Critical Damage, thus allowing for a deadly anchor yo-yo within a single turn.
- Nuke Version: Recommended if you’re using Haru alongside teammates who have card draw or card creation. “Anchor Shot”’s Epiphany III not only increases the card cost and base multiplier, but it also adds +100% Damage multiplier for each card discarded from hand when using it.
