Hayabusa is DPS capable of dealing [Rend] and [Slash] damage and is capable of inflicting Fire Status effects and Interruption effects. He capitalizes on his ability to turn [Invisible] to avoid getting targeted by enemies, along with the status effects he can apply, he can control and deal tons of damage on the battlefield.
As mentioned earlier, his kit revolves around [Rend] and [Slash]. along with Fire Status effects and Interruption effects. Let’s break down his cards.
For his first card, here we have [Anitya] a 2-cost red card that does a random attack depending on which hidden weapon he releases, each is capable of applying [Scorch] and other effects such as [Rend], [Slash] and [Ignite], each of this has a different number of hits but has the same motion value of 3600% Physical DMG.
Next is [Dharma-Caksus], a 2-yellow card that triggers [Wildfire]. and applies [Confuse] to all enemies. Additionally, select one of the three cards on top of your deck to be added to your hand and return the rest back to the deck.
Lastly, his ultimate [Animitta-Cakra] that deals damage to all enemies over 10 hits and inflicts [Rend] on each. This also triggers [Wildfire], [Fetter] and [Imprison]. Each hit is also capable of inflicting [Slash] or [Ignite].
Awakening upgrades for Hayabusa are incredible in terms of increasing his own firepower and the team’s overall damage. It is worth considering getting Awakening 2 and Awakening 4 in this regard.
Awakening 1 - Increases his ATK by 3% upon gaining [Invisible], this is capped up to 60%
Awakening 2 - Uses [Anitya] whenever a Leader Skill or Ultimate card is used. [Anitya] is also considered used whenever it leaves your hand; this works upon reshuffling the card back to the deck or discarding it, effectively saving cost.
Awakening 4 - [Anitya] has a chance of inflicting one random [Suffering] on the target; for each [Suffering] applied on the target increases their Final DMG taken by 8%. There are 8 different [Suffering] making it up to 64% Final DMG taken debuff when fulfilled.
Awakening 5 - Whenever Hayabusa is [Invisible], his Final DMG dealt increases by 25% along with [Rend] and [Slash] DMG by 100%
Resonance 1 — Hayabusa gains [Invisible] after using any of his cards; this lasts for 3 seconds.
Resonance 2 — Extends [Invisible] for 2 seconds longer.
Resonance 4 — Hayabusa generates 1 cost when gaining [Invisible]
Resonance 5 — Basic Attack and [Anitya] gains [Ricochet] and enemies under [Scorch] or [Ignite] effect, they take 100% more [Rend] or [Slash] DMG.
❗ ❗ ❗ The Synergies mentioned here are merely samples. Taking their core mechanics as an example, you can use many other characters as replacements or other synergies. ❗ ❗ ❗
Nabi - A great sub-dps option capable of dealing [Slash] or [Rend] effectively, helping Hayabusa’s Leader Skill cooldown.
Maruha - Can make herself [Invisible] and retrieve red cards when possible; she also inflicts [Slash], which Hayabusa sought for.
Nayuta - Has his own targeted [Invisible] skill. Nayuta can also supplement Hayabusa’s subpar drawing skill with his own.

[Fetter] and [Imprison] for some reason ignore crowd control immunity (like Tenno Dojo stage effect), with consistent use of his leader skill, he can make great difficulty contents like higher BCRL Outpost Battle Plans trivial.
Great coverage of status effects and AOE damage.
Consistent Invisibility can be used to cheese some content.
Expensive investment to be incredible as a follow-up attack support at Awakening 2 and a DMG taken debuffer at Awakening 4
As more actual support characters get released in the future, further investing at higher awakening may just not be worth it if you just want to use him as a debuffer. For the most part, Hayabusa is a DPS rather than a support, and future supports will be able to do similar capabilities at lower investment. Still, spend wisely, if you like him, go for it.
His draw capability and cost generation are quite subpar, making him still reliant on equipment affixes and/or proper supports.
