Introduction
Haru is a 5-Star Justice attribute Striker Combatant that constantly drops her Anchor onto her enemies, getting stronger every time she does so.
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 ten 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. With this being said, Haru definitely works best when paired with other Combatants who can provide AP management to ensure she can use Anchor Shot as many times as possible.
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 & Cons
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.
Ratings
The ratings below are based on the Season Save Data modes and the Chaos Manifestation mode. Each of the modes values different mechanics, so some characters may shine in one of the, while being underwhelming in the other.
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
Potential
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 in 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.
Dupes Review
E0
Base
E1
Ego 1
Haru’s first Ego node to be unlocked increases the buff amount of her “Lift Anchor” card by 20%, granting a massive 100% more damage multiplier for the turn. As this is a multiplicative buff, this is a pretty sizable increase to her damage output.
E2
Ego 2
Her next Ego node allows Anchor Shot to be cast even if she lacks the AP required to cast it, at the cost of dealing 40% less damage for each 1 AP spent less than the original cost. This is an okay point that mostly really helps with Chaos before getting up and running, as with ideal Save Data and team composition this will be less impactful and will often not be utilized.
E3
Ego 3
Her third Ego when unlocked boosts her Ego Skill. It increases the damage dealt by an additive +100% and increases the bonus damage portion by +20%, for a total of +70% per buff. This is a nice lump of extra damage provided by her Ego skill, but doesn’t necessarily change how she plays.
E4
Ego 4
Her fourth Ego grants Haru 1 stack of “Power Supply” whenever Anchor Shot is used, up to a maximum of 3. This is a persisting buff throughout fights that grants +20% Damage per stack to Haru’s Attack Cards. This isn’t a weak node by any means, but as Haru already has high base values, this node doesn’t necessarily provide too much of an increase in her damage output.
E5
Ego 5
This node increases the base and maximum level of their [Basic Card Upgrade], [Unique Card Upgrade] and [Common Card Upgrade] Potentials by 3. A decent damage increase for Haru across the board.
E6
Ego 6
Haru’s final Ego node interacts with her second Ego node. It reduces the damage penalty given by 20%. This again mostly assists with Haru in Chaos and is much less noticeable in Save Data content.

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 or an AP battery for cases like that.

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
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
A 0 Cost Skill card with the [Retain] effect, that gives “Anchor Shot” a sizable multiplicative +80% Damage buff for 1 turn. A fantastic card for Haru that can be used whenever she’s set up to cast her Anchor as many times as she can.
Tip: This buff persists on her Anchor Shots even after being used. If her Anchor Shot was moved back into Haru’s hand, this buff will still apply to that same card for the turn.

Epiphanies:
- Neutral - Target Neutral Epiphany: Vulnerable 1. Neutral Vulnerable is extremely strong on Anchor Shot and can have a similar or higher value than Divine Epiphanies. In scenarios where you do not get Divine Vulnerable 2 offered on an Anchor Shot, this might perform higher.
- Anchor Shot I- The additive buff scaling on this changes from +80% per use to +120% per use. While this can be similar to or better than Anchor Shot II in content that is longer than 2-turns, Haru can generally run over most content in less than 2-turns (and even then, Anchor Shot II will still be better than it in top-end builds that maximize Charge Energy III’s buff).
- Anchor Shot II- This is the go-to option for most comfort builds. The base ratio is lower but it gains Combo: +1 Hit. The base ratio makes a deceptively small difference, since most of her buffs (Charge Energy III) are additive. The addition of +1 hit scales well with Haru’s hefty Charge Energy III buff, along with supports. It can be outperformed by Anchor Pointer base, I, II, or V if you are maximizing Charge Energy III’s buff poorly (not getting a lot of Haru cards in hand) or be outperformed by some Anchor Shot IV builds after Turn 2 but for overall general-use in optimized teams (decent Charge Energy III buff optimization), this will be one of the best epiphanies in most scenarios.
- Anchor Shot III- This is probably the only Anchor Shot not really worth considering; it requires you to maximize ally cards (which lowers Charge Energy III value) and doesn’t let you use the cards either, merely discarding them for a buff on one hit. If there is an effect or card that has high synergy with discards, it could be considered, but it will likely still perform worse than all other options.
- Anchor Shot IV- Anchor Shot now creates up to 2 copies of it, keeping any Divine or additional effect on it as well. This is an insanely strong option to use with Anchor Pointer I, but it requires much stronger draw and specific rotations (you need to draw all 3 Anchor Shots before using your Anchor Pointer I for full value; it is much weaker with other Anchor Pointers, etc.). So, it is not recommended if all the stars don’t align or you aren’t comfortable with the setup, but it can be decently superior to Anchor Shot II builds when the stars do.
- Anchor Shot V- On a Critical Hit, Anchor Shot will return to hand once a turn now. This is effectively just +1 Anchor Shot hit a turn. While this might sound great, when we consider alternatives like Anchor Shot II or Anchor Shot IV which can add a mass amount of hits (around +5 to +10) with Anchor Pointer dupes. However, this can have a niche potential when duping Anchor Shot over Anchor Pointer, but comes at the price of a much higher AP cost.
Divine Epiphanies:
Which Divine Epiphany to go for will depend on what your team needs and which Epiphany you chose, but here are the main ones to look out for if you have spare Save Data: Vulnerable 2.

Epiphanies:
- Neutral - Target Neutral Epiphany: Morale 1. The additional Morale for a Neutral Epiphany can be a nice damage boost, but it’ll be significantly lower than a damage boost compared to Anchor Pointer IV or Anchor Pointer V, which also give a bonus to Anchor Shot damage.
- Anchor Pointer I- Anchor Pointer now applies [Retrieve] to Anchor Shots in hand, not to be confused with Anchor Pointer III, which has [Retrieve] on Anchor Pointer itself. When playing Anchor Shot IV, this will always be the preferred choice as it can give [Retrieve] to all 3 Anchor Shots that Anchor Shot IV creates. However, this is less universal and restrictive in deck-building when used with other Anchor Shot Epiphanies, so it is not recommended unless playing Anchor Shot IV.
- Anchor Pointer II- Anchor Pointer now applies [Retain] to Anchor Shots in hand. In well-optimized decks, there is basically no benefit from this since you will likely be able to play Anchor Shots as soon as they get them. Thus, this is not a recommended consideration.
- Anchor Pointer III- Anchor Pointer now has [Retrieve], not to be confused with Anchor Pointer I, which applies [Retrieve] to Anchor Shots. This is recommended for any OTK based builds, as it will allow you to do the most amount of Anchor Shot hits possible on Turn 1; however, it isn’t only great on Turn 1 as it can also be used with Anchor Shot base, Anchor Shot I, Anchor Shot IV and Anchor Shot V to scale their additive bonuses from being used in 1 Turn instead of 2.
- Anchor Pointer IV- Anchor Pointer now gives a sizable multiplicative damage boost of 20% to Anchor Shot. This is a nice buff, but when played with Charge Energy III (as recommended), it will be a buff that is easily diluted by the strong buffs Haru already has. Still, it is a great option just will perform worse in terms of consistency than the premiere buffing option of Crit Rate that Anchor Pointer V gives.
- Anchor Pointer V- The go-to Anchor Pointer for most comfortable Haru set-ups, as it can allow you to get 100% Crit (or close to), which vastly improves the consistency of her damage. However, it can be worse than Anchor Pointer III for OTK or Anchor Pointer I when doing Anchor Shot IV set-ups.

Epiphanies:
- Neutral - Target Neutral Epiphany: Vulnerable 1. The Vulnerable Neutral Epiphany can allow easier set-up for full Vulnerable uptime alongside Divine Vulnerable 2 in Anchor Shot builds, which can be nice, especially in OTK.
- Power Charge I- The additional effect of doing more damage when there is only one enemy is increased from +80% additive buff to +120% additive buff. While this is a nice increase in damage, this card tends to have very negligible contributions to Haru’s damage in most builds so it is not recommended prioritizing its damage over QoL options like Neutral or Power Charge V.
- Power Charge II- Power Charge loses its additional self-buff but has [Weakness Attack]. While this is a nice increase in damage, this card tends to have very negligible contributions to Haru’s damage in most builds, so it is not recommended to prioritize its damage over QoL options like Neutral or Power Charge V.
- Power Charge III- Power Charge now gains ‘Defeat: +1 Activation’. This could be one of its strongest Epiphanies, if its condition of ‘Defeat’ wasn’t extremely steep, since it’s not a guarantee that this attack will trigger a defeat. Moreover, even when this is a nice increase in damage, this card tends to have very negligible contributions to Haru’s damage in most builds, so it is not recommended to prioritize its damage over QoL options like Neutral or Power Charge V.
- Power Charge IV- Power Charge now gives an additive buff of +30% based on number of enemies to the next (one) attack use. This is just a very small buff that is also very conditional (need a lot of enemies) so it is not recommended to build around.
- Power Charge V- Power Charge now has ‘Combo: -1 Cost’. Generally speaking, Power Charge is just kept for one additional hit and for maximizing Charge Energy III’s buff (which requires Haru cards in hand).

Epiphanies:
- Neutral - Neutral Epiphanies are not recommended on this card as other Epiphanies (Charge Energy III) will give superior value.
- Charge Energy I- This provides a nice additional bonus of 40% multiplicative buff to Haru Attack Cards instead of 30%. With her highest base ratio, Anchor Shot (Anchor Shot I), this will give the equivalent of around +200% additive buff. While the buff this gives is substantial, it pales in comparison to Charge Energy III.
- Charge Energy II- Now, the buff is only to 1 attack (next attack) but gives 40% multiplicative buff instead of 30% along with 1 Tenacity Damage. The buff this gives isn’t substantial and it pales in comparison to Charge Energy III (and all other Charge Energy Epiphanies).
- Charge Energy III- Charge Energy will now give +70% additive buff per Haru card in hand when cast. THE go-to option and there isn’t any competition. This card singlehandedly is what makes Haru competitive with top-DPS, one of the highest self-buffs in the game (up to +630% additive self-buff to Haru PER Charge Energy III).
- Charge Energy IV- The card gains ‘Draw 1 Haru Card’ on top of its previous 30% multiplicative buff. While the buff this gives is substantial, it pales in comparison to Charge Energy III. Moreover, this Epiphany is often worse than just getting a Neutral Epiphany, as this will only draw a Haru card, while Neutral Draw 1 would allow you to draw any card.
- Charge Energy V- Charge Energy is now a 0-cost Upgrade that gives 20% multiplicative buff to Haru attacks passively. While the buff this gives is substantial, it pales in comparison to Charge Energy III.

Recommended Loadout
100%
[2-PC]: +25% Critical Damage.
[2-PC]: +12% Attack.
Flex
The best generic set combination for Haru in Save Data game modes thanks to the fact is works for all of her builds regardless of whether you're discounting her cards or not. While 2/2/2 is currently the best for her discoutn heavy save data playstyles and Chaos where she deals damage via a range of cost types, when using some specific builds Anchor Shot builds with specific costs of 1 or 2 other sets can outperform and are worth considering.
For more damage use 2P Cursed Corpse (if you can keep Agony on targets at all times). Alternatively for stronger Chaos starts try 2P Seth's Scarab, or if you want more survivability use 2P Healer's Journey. If none of that appeals, you can use any 2 strong sub/main stat pieces instead of a final 2P set bonus as well.
Specialist Loadout
[4-PC]: +20% Critical Chance of cards that cost 2 or more.
[2-PC]: +25% Critical Damage.
If you're playing a 2 cost Anchor Shot build in save data game modes and aren't discounting it any point 4P Line of Justice is a viable and in many cases more powerful alternative to 2/2/2.
[4-PC]: +35% Critical Damage of 1-cost cards.
[2-PC]: +25% Critical Damage.
Similar to the above, if you're playing a 1 cost Anchor Shot build which is possible via a Divine Discount Epiphany or very specific dicounting 4P Conqueor's will usually outperform 2/2/2.
Main and sub-stats
In a lot of cases, flat sub-stats are better than percentage ones when it comes to HP, ATK and DEF. The reason behind this is that in CZN the characters stats are pretty low and you get more value from flat bonus rather than percentage one based on calcs.
Substats:
CRIT Rate% = CRIT DMG% > ATK > ATK%
Partners
Our best Partner recommendation try to balance both the raw damage boost they provide based on our calculations with the additional utility provided by the skill - combined with how it interacts with the characters's kit. We have rated each Partner based on how much additional damage and the utility they provide. Read the comments under each Partner to better understand our reasoning.
No calculations in Chaos Zero Nightmare are completely accurate for all scenarios, including the ones below. What team, decks, epiphanies, gear, equipment, and enemies you’re facing all impact them. Because of this, take the results as guidelines and combine them with the explanations to make your decisions. Calculations use endgame save data set-ups, including 5 turns of combat using the whole deck with all Ego skills unless otherwise stated.
1
Passive - The Path to Mastery
Increase the assigned Combatant's Attack by 8/16%.
If the assigned Combatant's card was used just before, +15/30% Damage Amount to Attack Cards. Can stack up to 2 times and is removed when a different Combatant's card is used.
Gain Focus each time 2 of the assigned Combatant's cards are used.
Focus: Increase Damage Amount of the assigned Combatant's Attack Cards by 20/40%.
When the effect is activated, decrease Focus by 1, and when another Combatant's card is used, remove Focus.
Skill - Binding Knot - 3 EP cost
Deal 250% Damage. +10% assigned combatant's attack card damage for each owned buff for 1 turn.
E4 Scarlet, if you have it, is in most cases Haru's best option, assuming you correctly play around Scarlet's buff mechanics and don't reset her by weaving in other Combatants' cards. To extract the maximum damage of Scarlet isn't easy; you'll have to be careful with setting up your hands and the sequence of cards you play, otherwise you'll lose damage compared to what's displayed.
2
Passive - Sharshine-piercing Lighthouse
Increase the assigned Combatant's Attack by 8/16%.
The assigned combatants' attack cards with a cost of 2 or more deal +25/50% damage.
Increase Damage Amount of Pulverize cards of the assigned Combatant by 10/20%.
Skill - Light of Ark - 2 EP cost
+40% Damage of the next Attack card used by the assigned Combatants for the total cost of all cards in the hand (Max 10).
Despite E4 Asteria being designed for Haru, it isn't actually her best option, even though it's so expensive to acquire. The reason it falls behind is that, despite its boosts mostly being permanent and unconditional compared to Scarlet, they are smaller on average if you keep Scarlet's buffs up. However, in Chaos, where ramp-up time is a thing and you need to play a greater variety of cards, Asteria can regain some ground. With all that said, Asteria has a major flaw in her design, which is the fact that one of the parts of her Passive only works on 2 Cost cards, which many Haru builds discount and lose access to. For these builds, Asteria will perform notably worse than represented here and fall in the Partner ranking, so consider your options carefully.
3
Passive - Arachnid Domain
Increase the assigned Combatant's Attack, Health and Damage Amount by 8/16%.
+25/50% Damage dealt by the assigned combatant to targets in Break state.
Skill - Arachnid Web - 2 EP cost
Deal 250% Damage. Apply Weakness Attack to 1 assigned combatant's random Attack cards in hand.
E4 Priscilla's performance is entirely reliant on how capable Haru and her team are at breaking targets before she deals a significant portion of her burst. On average, Priscilla falls behind Asteria and Scarlet in damage for Haru, but if you Ravage early, her performance can be improved. One redeeming factor of Priscilla is that she's a lot easier to get than E4 Astria or E4 Scarlet, even if performance is contingent on Ravaging early.
4
Passive - Poltergeist
Increase the assigned Combatant's Attack by 8/16%.
The assigned combatant's attack cards with a cost of 1 or less deal +10/20% damage.
When the assigned combatant uses a Skill card, +10/20% attack card damage for 1 turn. Stacks up to 3 times.
Skill - Light of Judgment - 3 EP cost
Deal 100% Damage to all enemies. Draw 1 Attack card(s) from the assigned combatant with cost of less than or equal to 1.
E4 Lillian is a Specialist pick for Haru and only really fully effective if you're playing Haru with either Divine Epiphanies or Teammates that can discount her Anchor Shot to 1 cost or lower (which actually is a lot of Haru Builds). In these Builds Lillian is a viable and accessible option for Haru, which isn't too far off from the far more expensive max dupe E4 Partner options.
5
Passive - The Path to Mastery
Increase the assigned Combatant's Attack by 8/16%.
If the assigned Combatant's card was used just before, +15/30% Damage Amount to Attack Cards. Can stack up to 2 times and is removed when a different Combatant's card is used.
Gain Focus each time 2 of the assigned Combatant's cards are used.
Focus: Increase Damage Amount of the assigned Combatant's Attack Cards by 20/40%.
When the effect is activated, decrease Focus by 1, and when another Combatant's card is used, remove Focus.
Skill - Binding Knot - 3 EP cost
Deal 250% Damage. +10% assigned combatant's attack card damage for each owned buff for 1 turn.
Notably worse than E4 Scarlet for Haru, but still her best 6-star option assuming you can play around her buffs and stacking effects. However, given that she requires active play to maximize her potential and the fact that her damage potential is close to E4 Douglas and worse than E4 Lillian (with 1 cost or lower Anchor builds), it's usually both easier and better to just use either of those for Save and Chaos-based game modes.
6
Passive - Sharshine-piercing Lighthouse
Increase the assigned Combatant's Attack by 8/16%.
The assigned combatants' attack cards with a cost of 2 or more deal +25/50% damage.
Increase Damage Amount of Pulverize cards of the assigned Combatant by 10/20%.
Skill - Light of Ark - 2 EP cost
+40% Damage of the next Attack card used by the assigned Combatants for the total cost of all cards in the hand (Max 10).
Similar to E0 scarlet despite being less trouble to keep fully active than E0 Scarlet, it's usually just better to use F2P options in E4 Lillian and E4 Douglas compared to investing into E0 Asteria. Additionally, the damage drop for Asteria in builds that aren't using 2 cost or higher Anchors is still present, so if you're playing a discounted Anchor buil,d Asteria's performance will be lower than presented here.
7
Passive - Guard
The assigned combatant's Attack is increased by 8/16%.
At the start of battle, Damage dealt by the assigned combatant increases by 8/16% for 1 turn.
Skill - Giant Bazooka - 2 EP cost
Deal 120% Damage to all enemies.
A F2P option that's fine to use if you have nothing else, but falls behind in damage and utility and has a less impactful Ego Skill than all the above options. Should be replaced as soon as you're able to.
Note: Douglas only comes close to the options above when high amounts of card damage are included from sources like Morale, team buffs or equipment. While this is usually very common in Save Data-based game modes (which these calculations are based on), the less Card Damage you have access to, the worse Douglas will do compared to the options above.
Equipment
In the Zero System, it’s incredibly easy to access all items acquirable via the shop thanks to the five free refreshes you get each shop node - that's why the recommendations below are limited to them only. ATTENTION! Area-specific items can sometimes be more powerful than shop items, but are far less consistent to get or require running a specific world or giving up certain event options. Use the shop list as a starting point for building up your deck saves.
The equipment recommendations are based on items obtainable in Season 2’s Chaos - Burning Life. If you’re running content outside of Season 2, it’s possible some options may not be available for acquisition, or that other options not obtainable in Burning Life may be better.

Comments - Weapons
- - Offers a huge 18% Combat Attack passively which for most Attack scalers makes this weapon the defacto best in slot weapon if you're able to acquire it alongside the correct save and don't have another better Mythic equipment options.Intellect of Discord
![Equipment]()
- - 12% Crit DMG is always a competive option if you can find it in your runs and nothing better turns up or is required for your build.Dagger That Tricked the Shadow
![Equipment]()
- - A generic weapon that provides a large 25% (Multiplicative) damage boost but only while you hold 6 cards or more. This is a strong legendary equipment providing you can satisfy its conditions while using the majority of your highest damaging abilities, but this is much easier said than done making it only situationally good in certain decks.Sword Reflected in the Lake
![Equipment]()
- - Very easy to find and grants 12% (Multiplicative) damage to everything. It's never the best, but if you have nothing else you should definitely grab it.Obsidian Sword
![Equipment]()
Comments - Armor
- - The Crit Rate this armour provides is almost always in demand and a competitive option making it a piece worth seeking out unless you're able to obtain better more specialized options.Fairy King's Crown
![Equipment]()
- - Provides a 35% (Multiplicative) damage boost against enemies which are vulnerable. Powerful on characters that value multiplicative damage boosts (less so on those that don't) but only so long as you can consistently keep Vulnerable applied.Mask of Flames
![Equipment]()
- - A generic defensive option usable by all combatants making it a fine supportive addition if no other options are found. However not generally as enticing as direct damage or more immediate utility options for most builds.Star-Lit Cloak
![Equipment]()
- - An easy to get and nice inclusion for teams that have use for a powerful (but conditiona) survival mechanic. Usually not the most optimal choice within the armor slot for most characters but if you miss no all other options is very easy to pick up as a fall-back.Vine Camouflage
![Equipment]()
Comments - Trinkets
- - The go-to generic damage accessory for most characters that is trivially easy to use and always for the most part a solid addition for any character that can make use of additive damage. Wont beat out more specialized options but always a great fallback.Amorphous Cube
![Equipment]()
- - A rare to get Arena exclusive Accessory, but one which is a top option for characters that appreciate Multiplicative damage scaling over additive when played around correctly. Still a usable option for characters that prefer additive scaling, but usually there are better and easier to access alternatives.Rage Potion
![Equipment]()
- - Grants 20% (multiplicative) damage to the wearer any time any combatant uses an upgrade card (no limit) but only for 1 turn. In specific teams targetting low turn count kills this can be the best accessory available, but in longer fights, or low upgrade teams it loses a lot of its appeal.Quantum Collector
![Equipment]()
- - An exceptionally powerful generic support trinket that grants both 1 draw and 1 AP at the start of battle turbo charging your early game. Is a Mythic item meaning it wont be suitable for every character, but on those who can afford to run it and don't need other accessories in this slot is well worth slotting in if it comes up in your runs.Sphere of Randomness
![Equipment]()
- - After using 3 2AP or higher abilities are used by the wearer, the team gains a stack of stockpile. When used on characters capable of spamming high cost abilities each turn this accessory can be equivilant to close to permanant AP carry over between turns, but depending on the team this may not always be useful compared to other accessory options.Leaf of the World Tree

Build Comments
- Anchor Shot - This build utilizes Anchor Pointer to move Anchor Shot to be replayed multiple times, with high amounts of self-buffs from Charge Energy. Do note that Charge Energy must be played before your Anchor Shot for its buffs, and you will likely need Narja or some other form of Cost-Reduction/AP (or E2) in order to play all of her Anchor Shots easily.
- Anchor Shot OTK - This is the same as Anchor Shot build, only you use the [Retrieve] Anchor Pointer, which vastly increases its damage for one-turn but now you need even more AP if not played with Narja or a form of cost-reduction.
- Charged Energy - Charge Energy can give a ridiculously high amount of additive buffing, but Haru lacks a lot of cards that can make great use of this. Through monster neutrals, you are able to get a lot of multi-hits, but it can be extremely impractical to get multiple of different kinds in one run for her to make use of this, making this an extremely hard-to-get and high-end build.
- Create Anchor Shot - This build utilizes Anchor Shot IV (Copy Anchor Shot on use (max: 2)) and Anchor Pointer I (Apply [Retrieve] to Anchor Shots in hand) to essentially allow you to do 3 attacks for every Anchor Pointer, instead of the typical 1-2 with other options. This build, while perhaps her strongest, can be hard to pull off without especially strong supports compared to other versions, as it has more cards that need to be drawn.
Removal
-
Conditional Removal
- AnchorPower AnchorAnchor Drop- Because of Charge Energy’s requirement for Haru Cards in hand it is somewhat common to keep your basics on her in order to maximize the buffing she receives. But, this comes at needing very strong target draw like Nia or Veronica.
Copying
- Anchor Pointer- The go-to copy for any Anchor Shot build, which tends to be her most popular and approachable.
- Charge Energy- Generally speaking, you want at least 1 copy of this to maximize your buff to hit ratio as the buff from this (assuming at least 6 or 7 cards in hand) is extremely sizable and most than what most supports can give her.
Best Synergies
- Narja’s cost-reduction enables you to lower Haru’s AP needs at a much higher rate than most alternative AP options, as the cost-reduction from Narja persists on cards used multiple times a turn, like Haru’s.
- Narja’s main buffs of voracity and predation can be easily active for all of Haru’s Anchor Shots, as Anchor Shot synergizes very well with Narja’s kit.
- Nia’s Adagio V enables you to easily get all of your necessary Haru cards in hand, which is typically needed to get full value out of Haru’s cards before you pop off with them.
- She can give additional additive buffs through her rhythm boost (if at least E2), which will give Haru the equivalent of 1-Morale (20% additive buff) to all hits.
- If Haru is holding the Dimensional Cube, Nia can easily activate its 45% additive buff for her.
- Veronica can enable you to easily get all of your needed Haru cards in hand for her setup before pop-off via her high draw.
- Through neutral Morale Epiphanies on cards like Devil Dice or Dice Trick, Cass can give high additive buffing with little cost.
- However, it’s worth noting that Cass can be difficult to play with her without Divine Epiphanies, as he generally wants cost-reduction on Devil Dice (with neutral Morale 2 Epiphany) so he can act as both draw and buffer together.
