Build Overview

DPS Party List
Haru	Mika	Cassius
High single-target damage Perfect counter for enemies with a lot of shields AP Hungry team

Haru is the main DPS of this team capable of destroying single target enemies especially if they are Justice attribute and can put up shields. Due to how costly it is to cast Anchor Shot, Mika can help easen up AP requirements and help the team survive attacks while Cassius provides card search and draw to help Haru get all of her cards to setup a high damage dealing Anchor Shot.

Haru Best Team

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Support	Sub-DPS
Mika	Cassius

Haru performs best alongside Mika and Cassius because they can help supplement the high cost of her cards while also accelerating her card cycling. This allows for more consistent access and use of Haru's highest-damage cards such as Anchor Shot.

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Magna	Magna can replace Cassius as the team's sub-DPS. She offers higher damage, especially against enemies weak to Justice, and provides additional shielding. This, combined with Mika's healing, makes your team very tough. Note that Magna fits the team best if your setup allows Haru to cycle Anchor Shot effectively. This typically involves obtaining multiple copies of Anchor Pointer and selecting the upgrade for Anchor Shot that creates additional copies of itself.
Beryl	Beryl can be a substitute to Cassius as the team's Sub-DPS and buffer. Aside from being able to deal damage, she can also use Guilty Pleasure to cycle cards faster and Unlimited Firepower to boost the damage of Haru's next Attack card
Veronica	Veronica is a good sub-DPS for Haru as she is very easy to play and does not consume much AP, so you can reserve your AP for Haru. You can also take advantage of her Repose to potentially draw Haru's cards.

Haru Best Cards

Click on a Link to Jump to a Section!
Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Card	Epiphany Effect
Anchor Shot	AP Cost: 2 Tags: Pulverize ・320% Damage ・+90% Damage for each time this card has been used (Max 5)
Anchor Pointer	AP Cost: 0 ・From Draw Pile or Graveyard, move Anchor Shot to hand, +25% to Critical Chance of that card for 1 turn
Power Charge	AP Cost: 2 ・300% Damage to all enemies ・Combo: Change this card's cost to 1
Charge Energy	AP Cost: 1 Tags: Retain ・For 1 turn, +70% Attack card Damage by number of cards in hand
Lift Anchor	AP Cost: 0 Tags: Retain ・For Anchor Shot in hand, +1 Cost, +70% Damage for 1 turn

Haru's best deck build revolves around cycling and using Anchor Shot continuously to deal continuously increasing high single-target damage. Anchor Point, upgraded with either the Critical Chance buff (for increased damage potential) or Retrieve (to consistently acquire Anchor Shot), is highly recommended. This card remains valuable even when using supports that cycle cards for you, like Cassius.

Power Charge, despite not having any direct synergy with the other cards, is a great addition to deal with multiple enemies. You can choose the upgrade that allows this card to become 1-cost after casting a Justice card so that you can reserve AP to guarantee casting Anchor Shot.

Charge Energy and Lift Anchor are buff cards that can drastically boost your Anchor Shot damage, so it is great to use them if you have the AP to spare.

Essential Team Cards and Epiphanies

Card	Epiphany Effect
Source of Water	AP Cost: 0 ・Heal 150% ・1 AP ・1 Wave
Tactical Analysis	AP Cost: 0 ・2 Wave ・For 1 turn, +50% Healing
Deluge	AP Cost: 1 Tags: Unique ・1 Wave ・At the start of the turn, gain 1 Wave
Pop Eyed Popper	AP Cost: 0 ・From 4 Quests, choose 1 to begin
Devil Dice	AP Cost: 0 ・Draw 1 ・80% Damage to all enemies equal to that card's cost
Joker	AP Cost: 1 ・Select 1 card(s) from the Draw Pile to Draw

For your team members, it is ideal to focus on upgrades that will give you AP and help you cycle your cards faster. Mika's Wave mechanic and Source of Water allow you to gain AP, which is very valuable for Haru as most of her cards have high costs. Cassius, on the other hand, can help you get your Anchor Shot early through continuous card draw or through his Joker card.

Haru Best Partner

Click on a Link to Jump to a Section!
Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Partner	Details
Asteria	Passive Effect: Light of Ark - The assigned combatant's attack cards with a cost of 2 or more deal +25% damage +10% Damage of the assigned Combatant's Pulverize cards. Ego Skill: Starshine-piercing Lighthouse - +20% Damage of the next Attack card used by the assigned Combatant for the total cost of all cards in the hand (Max 10)

Haru's best partner is the one that came with her banner, Asteria. Her kit directly increases the damage of Anchor Shot through her passive effect and Ego Skill. The Ego Skill specifically allows you to deal more damage based on the total cost of all cards currently in your hand, which suits Haru's high-costing cards.

Alternative Budget Partners

Partner	Explanation
Ritochka	Ritochka is a great alternative as she is quite literally the budget version of Asteria, only with a lower ceiling when it comes to multipliers. However, her Ego skill can help make up the difference by giving the team 3 Morale for the turn
Lillian	Lillian is a decent partner option if you lack Ritochka or Asteria. While her initial passive effect is less relevant, her secondary effect stacks attack damage per skill card used. This can significantly boost damage if you manage to play Anchor Pointer, Charge Energy, and Lift Anchor together. Additionally, her Ego Skill aids card cycling and can potentially start your combo.

Haru Best Memory Fragments

Click on a Link to Jump to a Section!
Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

The best Memory Fragment set for Haru combines the Line of Justice (4-piece) and Executioner's Tool (2-piece) effects. This combination grants an additional 20% Critical Chance and 25% Critical Damage, respectively. For both main stats and substats, prioritize Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Attack, and Justice Damage.

Haru Best Equipment

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
The Destruction of Erysichthon	Chains of Obsession	Pulsating Egg

For your saved data equipment, The Destruction of Erysichthon is a decent option as it offers a small chance to trigger Anchor Shot twice. Chains of Obsession decreases your health for shields, a manageable trade-off since Mika can provide healing for your team. Lastly, Pulsating Egg is somewhat difficult to obtain but grants increased damage, which is always a welcome addition.

Focus on Cycling Cards Until You Get Anchor Shot

Use Your Skill Cards to Setup Your Anchor Shot Combo

Focus on Cycling Cards Until You Get Anchor Shot

Haru's damage is very reliant on a single card, Anchor Shot, so you will want to focus on getting that card into your hand and casting it as often as possible. Utilize Cassius' ability to speed up your deck cycling by drawing cards.

Another valuable tip is to keep your deck thin. Remove unwanted cards through unknown events or Dellang's Shop during Chaos Manifestation runs.

Use Your Skill Cards to Setup Your Anchor Shot Combo

Your Skill Cards are the key to dealing as much damage as possible. Whenever possible, make sure to use these cards in tandem to reach the highest damage you can. The ideal combo is:

Cast Anchor Point to put Anchor Shot into your hand.
Use Charge Energy to increase your Anchor Shot's damage.
Use Lift Anchor to further boost the damage of your Anchor Shot. Note that this step is optional, as you might not have enough AP to cast Anchor Shot afterwards. Only do this if you have stacks of Wave or Source of Water available.
Use your partner's Ego Skill if you have Ritochka or Asteria equipped.
Cast Anchor Shot to deal massive damage.
