Light cone substitutes Dance! Dance! Dance!, Meshing Cogs
Best relic set Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Hanya follows the Harmony path, placing her as a support character to buff allies. She can dish out some pretty hefty damage, but her kit revolves around aiding teammates by regenerating skill points and increasing allies’ speed.

The best light cone for Hanya is the five-star But the Battle Isn’t Over, and you’re going to want sets of Messenger Traversing Hackerspace and Fleet of the Ageless for her relics. Aim to get some attack and speed substats.

Using Hanya in a team with other DPS characters like Qingque and Imbibitor Lunae means they can use their skill-consuming attacks without worry, dealing plenty of damage.
