How to Beat Hathor Overview

Hathor
PvE Rank	PvP Rank

Base Rarity	Soul	Type	Role
SR	Amber	Sniper	Debuffer

Hathor is a damage-focused character who focuses on debuffing enemies. Her Dance of Butterflies significantly damages top HP targets, while Underworld's Allure offers AoE damage, crowd control, and self-healing. Dreaming Dancer can dramatically boost her damage output but requires careful positioning to activate. Dance of the Sands supports her debuffing capabilities by increasing the chance to inflict debuffs on critical hits. She can be seen in the Main Quest as an enemy.

Hathor Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
• High Damage Output against Multiple Targets • Debuff Fainted and Erosion Potential • ATK Boost and Inflict Debuff Boost	• Target-specific Enemies (might not be optimal at all times) • Debuff Chance reliant on RNG • Buffs are delayed • Buff duration for Dance of the Sands is only one turn

Hathor Skill Analysis

Dance of Butterflies

Underworld’s Allure

Dance of Butterflies excels as a high-damage, single-target skill with a chance to weaken enemies through a debuff significantly. However, its effectiveness can fluctuate due to the RNG-based nature of the debuff.

Underworld's Allure offers a broader AoE attack with the potential for crowd control and higher-level self-healing. Like Dance of Butterflies, its reliance on RNG for debuff applications can impact its consistency.

Both skills contribute significantly to Hathor's offensive capabilities but are subject to the unpredictability of random chance.

Dreaming Dancer

Dance of the Sands

Dreaming Dancer is a high-risk, high-reward passive for Hathor, offering a substantial ATK boost that lasts for two turns and cannot be dispelled. However, its activation is conditional, requiring her to take no damage for two consecutive turns, and the boost is delayed until the third turn.

Dance of the Sands supports Hathor's debuffing role by increasing her chance to inflict debuffs on critical hits. Still, its effectiveness relies on landing critical attacks, and the buff duration is limited to one turn.

Witches to Beat Hathor

Hathor Hard Counters

Cordie

Cordie's active skills deal significant damage. Smoke and Gunpowder can provide Debuff Immunity, negating Hathor's debuff-based effects. The Quick & The Dead's bonus for defeating targets can snowball quickly.

Cerberus

Cerberus has an AoE physical damage with P.DEF reduction on low STR targets. Hathor may fall into this category. Storm of Tartarus focuses damage on the lowest HP enemy with a potential instant kill. Magic Words can dispel Cerberus debuffs and grant Debuff Immunity at max level. Hathor's debuff may be rendered useless with this skill. And lastly, Uncontrollable Heart which increases ATK and critical hit chance.

Merlyn

Priscilla

Dispeller characters like Merlyn or Priscilla can help dispel Hathor's ATK reduction debuff in her Dance of Butterflies skill. Make sure to bring a dispeller in your team to help your team damage Hathor normally.

Hathor Sample Counter Teams

High Damage Team

Attacker	Debuffer	Debuffer	Attacker	Attacker
Cordie	Soltina	Alexandra	Sabrina	Fia

This team focuses on high damage output to quickly eliminate Hathor before she can build up stacks for Dreaming Dancer. Characters like Cordie and Sabrina can deal massive damage, while Fia's Grim Retribution can provide additional damage over time.

Soltina's debuff removal can help counter Hathor's debuffs, and her Sleep can disrupt Hathor's turn order. Alexandra's debuff removal and potential for high defense can also contribute to the team's overall effectiveness.

Debuff and Dispel Team

Attacker	Debuff	Buffer	Debuff	Debuff
Paladea	Moddey	Merlyn	Lunalynn	Amour

Paladea delivers substantial damage and survivability, Moddey offers debuffs and sustain, Merlyn provides support and debuff removal, and Lunalynn brings damage and survivability. At the same time, Amour focuses on high damage output and a potential revival. This team aims to overwhelm Hathor with damage, control her actions, and sustain through the battle, countering her strengths effectively.

Witches Not To Use Against Hathor

Lea

Squishy Damage Dealers: Characters with low health pools are vulnerable to Hathor's high damage output. It is best to use Damage Dealers with Shields or higher HP.

Morgana

Claudia

Self-Damaging Characters: Characters who need to damage themselves before giving substantial damage might be vulnerable to Hathor's attacks even before they can attack.

Tips for Beating Hathor

Use SPD Runes

Aim to act before Hathor to prevent her from gaining advantages like Dreaming Dancer's buffs. Faster characters can disrupt Hathor's skills and prevent her from building momentum.

Focus on Dispel, Debuff Immunity, and Crowd Control

Dispel Hathor's buffs and Dreaming Dancer's ATK boost to reduce her damage output. Debuff Immunity or high resistance to debuffs can protect your team from Hathor's debilitating effects. Use crowd control skills like Fainted, Sleep, or Silence, which can hinder Hathor's ability to use her skills effectively.

Protect Your Team

Maintain your team's health to withstand Hathor's attacks. You can also buff your team's defenses to reduce damage. Use characters with Multi-Barrier or Shield, or employ healers in your team.
