Hathor
Who is Hathor?
Hathor is a T0.5 Lakshana-attribute burst DPS who functions primarily as a Sub DPS with a quick-swap playstyle. She excels in boss content where she does not need to be on-field constantly, and shines more in AoE where her charged Skill is easier to use. She accumulates Express Delivery Power stacks through multiple in-kit triggers and converts them via her Ultimate (Rider Express) into Emergency Delivery status — her main burst window. As a standard S-rank character, she is available on the permanent banner. Prydwen notes she "fits into the Sub DPS role more than the main DPS due to having a strong burst rotation."
Kit Summary

Activates Emergency Delivery status — Hathor's main burst damage window.
Empowered Skill state for high Lakshana burst damage.
Passively extends Remora duration to 12 seconds and increases Crit Rate when attacking Remora-affected enemies.
Rotate in for burst, rotate out — low field time investment.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Street Boxer (best-in-slot): 2-piece gives 10% Lakshana DMG; 4-piece gives 14% CRIT Rate baseline, rising to 28% CRIT Rate for 20 seconds when team triggers Remora or Stain — exceptional uptime given her team synergies.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Raging Flames (best-in-slot): Synergizes directly with her Ultimate and empowered Skill; she can repeatedly use the empowered Skill as long as Express Delivery Power stacks are available, easily stacking the Redirect Skill DMG buff provided by this Arc.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Remora burst team: Hathor + Zero + Nanally + Fadia — Lakshana (Hathor) + Cosmos (Zero) triggers Remora; Nanally adds Anima for Blossom; Fadia provides survivability and Nova.
Charge triple-cycle: Hathor + Chiz + Jiuyuan + Haniel — Blossom + Remora + Charge Esper Cycles simultaneously; high AoE potential.
Stain team with Aurelia: Hathor + Aurelia + Haniel + flex — Lakshana + Psyche = Stain; Aurelia benefits massively from Stain resistance shred.
F2P Verdict
Hathor is on the standard banner — obtainable through standard pulls and guarantee systems without spending limited currency. Her build is straightforward: Street Boxer cartridge and CRIT-focused substats. Raging Flames is her best Arc; look for it on standard Arc pulls.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Remora reaction?
Remora triggers when Lakshana and Cosmos attributes are on the same team. It amplifies damage for both elements and can be extended by Hathor's Remora Enhancement passive to 12 seconds. Zero (Cosmos) is the natural Remora partner for Hathor.
What is the Stain reaction?
Stain triggers when Lakshana and Psyche are on the same team. It shreds Psyche and Lakshana resistance on affected enemies. Hathor (Lakshana) + Haniel or Aurelia (Psyche) enable Stain, massively amplifying Psyche and Lakshana damage taken.
Is she worth pulling from the standard banner?
Yes — Hathor is a T0.5 character available without limited pull investment. Her Remora and Stain reaction access makes her a team-wide enabler, not just a personal DPS. She is one of the strongest standard banner picks alongside Haniel.
