Should You Pull for Hook?

Hook is a strong 4-star DPS unit who specializes in both dealing DMG and inflicting Burn DoTs on enemies. Despite being a Destruction unit, Hook's single-target DMG is good against Elite enemies who are weak to Fire.

If you're just starting in the game and in need of a DPS who can defeat both Elite enemies and mobs, go ahead and pull for Hook!

Hook's best Relic set is the Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters as her kit can apply the Burn debuff on enemies, making her attacks against them significantly stronger.

We recommend Hook to have at least 70% CRIT Rate to increase her Skill DMG thanks to the Rutilant Arena ornament.

CRIT DMG 120% - 140%+

Hook wants your typical DPS stats like CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and ATK. Her Burn scales off ATK so make sure she has a high amount of it. As for SPD, just hit the minimum 134 or higher if you need her to take more actions in a cycle.
