Review
Hizuki Mari is a Disorder Affinity debuffer/support hybrid with a heavy focus on disrupting the enemy’s gameplan through various passive and active debuffs -but one of her greatest strengths also comes at a great price.
Skill 1
Mari’s Skill 1 is a 2-hit single-target attack whose last hit can reduce the enemy’s turn Meter by 15-25% with a 30-40% chance. While a solid effect, it isn’t groundbreaking or a point where Mari stands out.
Outside of Lvl 3, 5, and some base SPD, none of which are transformational, investing Lattices into S1 isn’t mandatory or something that will alter Mari’s playstyle.
Skill 2
Skill 2 is Mari’s uniquely designed passive: a highly situational mix of Buff and Debuff that can either make or break both you and your opponent’s gameplan, which one exactly will be left in pieces is up to how you play her.
Just by existing on the battlefield, Mari applies a 20-30% ATK Buff and 20 - 30% Healing Reduction to every unit present (even hostile) on the field, with the exception that PVE enemies do not benefit from the ATK boosting effect. In addition to this, affected allies may not gain the [ATK+] buff.
A couple of key points have to be noted:
The ATK+ that Mari provides, even at skill lvl5, is lower than a regular [ATK+] so it’s not a one-to-one replacement and is, in fact, a downgrade when compared to a permanently active regular [ATK+].
Unique ATK modifiers like Ninfoniel’s [Rimebloom] still work.
Shield potency is not affected by the reduced Healing.
Celince’s [Forgetfulness] disables Mari’s passive even if the buff icon remains present, allowing you to give [ATK+] to your units, but at the same time, you lose both the passive ATK+ and the Healing reduction field-wide.
All in all, Mari’s passive is an interesting option designed to specifically counter teams that are hyper reliant on Healing and don’t scale their damage off ATK. A secondary use for this effect is the application of a reduced ATK+ on your team without the need to spend a turn applying it, which is ideal in situations where you’d rather spend your turn controlling the enemy and setting up your offense simultaneously, or in cases where spots on the team are limited and you can’t afford to spare one slot for an ATK buffer. Mari’s ATK+ can also pull ahead of the standard [ATK+] when said standard buffs' uptime isn’t guaranteed or consistent.
Mari’s S2 is one of the main reasons you’d consider bringing her over other Animuses, but without levels, this passive suffers a lot. As a result, this should likely be one of your first Lattice investments for her.
Skill 3
Skill 3 is a 2-hit AoE with a situational but devastating control effect: the first hit has a 75-100% chance to land a [RES-] debuff on enemies, while the second hit has a whopping 45-60% chance to land [Petrify], a strictly better form of [Stun] that prevents CDs from naturally recovering for the affected units. Such a powerful control effect is solid in PVE but should absolutely not be underestimated in PVP.
Levels in this skill increase Mari’s chance to land both the Petrify and [RES-], making it a strong choice for those looking for consistency, especially when facing highly resistant enemies. In longer fights, the cooldown reduction from Lvl 5 may also be relevant, but in a lot of cases, the fight will already be decided or completely over by then.
PVE
In PVE, Mari can’t quite measure up in terms of buffing; that and the fact that her buffs disable the common [ATK+] put her at a noticeable disadvantage compared to her peers. Where Mari claws her way back and holds a niche, though, is where hard CC is applicable and needed; in these fights, Mari can work and be an effective pick over other Animuses.
PVP
In PVP, Mari’s hard CC is a lot more applicable, and her passive, while more dangerous to use, is also more valuable. This is especially true in PVP modes where slots are incredibly limited, like GVG. Having an all-in-one buffer, heal reducer, and hard CC in one package that doesn’t require multiple turns to get online is a hell of a deal compared to units that can only do one or two. Mari is most at home in cleave or anti-stall teams, but beware, she isn’t all upside. Drafting Mari wrong can grant her ATK buff to enemies, allowing them to eliminate you more easily.
Conclusion
Hizuki Mari is an original take on a situational counter, and her presence alone can turn the tides of battles in your favor on some occasions. With clear strengths and weaknesses, she won’t be as widely useful as many other units, and anyone who chooses to build her should do so with a clear goal in mind.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Passive ATK+ that does not require using a turn to apply.
The Healing reduction passive is a rare ability that bypasses [Immunity], Purify, and cannot miss.
AoE Petrify can singlehandedly turn the tides of a battle.
Cons
Locks you out of applying [ATK+] on your team.
Reduces your own Healing.
If S3 is ineffective, then Mari’s entire kit amounts to a lesser ATK+ and a global Heal reduction.

Best Build
The builds below are tailored more toward PVE and we only mention PVP in some places - like for alternative Shells or Module choices. But PVE is our focus.
Best Shells
1
Before the owner acts, unleashes the owner Animus' full potential making their next skill cost no CD and increasing their SPD by an additional 10% for 2 turn(s).
The cooldown of the skill can't be reduced.
An absurdly strong combo Shell that allows the wearer to skip the cooldown of the ability used on the turn this Shell is active. The wearer can use their ultimate or skill twice back to back, unlocking usually impossible personal and team combos. Also grants the wearer a 10% SPD boost after use for 2 turns. Mainly used in PvE burst/combo compositions or PVP. Can be used on both Supports and DPS situationally.
The go to option for Hizuki in most PVE scenarios, thanks to it allowing her to lock down enemies for two turns with Petrify using back to back S3s. Loses some efficiency and power in longer drawn out fights.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Swiftrush [12/12]
![Matrix]()
- 8 set: >Bulwark [8/8]
![Matrix]()
>Strive [8/8]![Matrix]()
- 6 set: >Swiftsmite [6/6]
![Matrix]()
>Swiftraid [6/6]![Matrix]()
2
After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.
Widely used and incredibly potent all-around supportive option, granting a 25% gauge boost on use as well as [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime. It also deals decent damage when used. Possesses most of the best supportive matrixes, further adding to its flexibility and wide use cases. Loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.
An alternative to Codex of Magic for extended fights where Hizuki is expected to loop through multiple S3s making the [SPD+] and gauge boost more valuable.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Swiftrush [12/12]

Generic best in slot for spamming her S3. Allows for multiple chances at resist down and Petrify to keep the enemies controlled longer.

Side-grade to Codex. Allows you to achieve higher Speed and a bit more damage.

Best Stats
Substats:
SPD (Until Desired) = EFF ACC% > DEF% = HP%
Stat comments (PVE)
Hizuki Mari has two main stats and two conditional stats to pay attention to across gear for PVE:
- Main Stats:
- Effect ACC: Hizuki's most important stat as without hit her S3 Petrify is unlikely to land consistantly, diminishing her ability to impact fight considerably. Build as much EFF ACC as you need until landing her abilities becomes consistant.
- SPD: Hizuki is usually at her strongest when moving before enemies she plans to lock down with her Pertification S3 in order to skip their turn. To achieve this SPD is of course Vital - build enough of it to ensure you're able to have her fufill her role correctly. If for whatever reason you aren't bringing Hizuki for her S3 Petrify but solely for her passive, SPD can be de-prioritized somewhat as Hizuki doesn't need to move to have her buff active.
- Conditional Stats:
- HP% & DEF%: After sufficient SPD and EFF ACC have been achieved, next invest into as much survivability and durabiltiy for Plume as possible so she doesn't die.
Stat comments (PVP)
In PVP, Hizuki is often used to control the enemy and buff up the team.
- Main Stats:
- Effect ACC: Hizuki most important stat since all her kit is built around this single stat.
- SPD: 2nd most important stat, most of the cases you will want her to play after your stripper\Dispeller
- HP%/DEF%: Having some HP\DEF can help she survive some enemy hits and maintain her ATK buff for your team a little longer.
Shell Passives
Slot 1
DEF% = HP% > HP = DEF
Slot 2
SPD
Slot 3
Effect ACC (Gaze) > Effect ACC (Insight) > DMG Taken
Passive comments
- Slot 1: Choose one of HP or DEF that suits the style of play and build you're aiming for.
- Slot 2: Speed is king in this slot.
- Slot 3: Choose between front-loaded or back-loaded Effect ACC or more survivability - all are viable.
Skill Priority
Skill Priority
S2 > S3 > S1
Comments
Unfotunately to ensure Hizuki is at her best you'll want to invest some Lattice's into her. For PVP, S2 is her primary focus in most teams and her S3 is her best CC option. S1 is okay but it's not mandatory.
