Hundred-Faced Hassan

Hassan is a damager Assassin who specializes in spamming her NP through critcharging her gauge. Despite being an Arts-based Assassin, Hassan can generate a good amount of stars for herself with her skills, which is what she uses to critcharge her gauge. Unfortunately, there is a rather large area of error in using her, which makes her less than favorable compared to other damagers.

• Good stargen on her brave chains when buffed by her skills.
• Large 4000HP heal.
• 2nd highest ST NP damage among the 3★ Assassins.
• Capable of NP-spam through critcharging.
• Arts resistance down helps the team’s NP gain as an indirect Arts buff.
• 50% Crit chance down to an enemy.

• Her heal removes her buffs as a demerit.
• Below Average NP gain without her buffs.
• Her Arts up is chance-based.
• Needs someone to provide her stars to crit with.

Hassan is one of the damagers who deal damage through NP spam. In general, her performance loops within the process of performing NPAAs or NPQAs with crits, as a continuous train of NP usage.

This might sound very good, but Hassan suffers from a multitude of problems which make her consistency fluctuate.

1) Her Arts up buff is chance-based, which would make her NP gain and damage suffer. This means that in the occurrence that her buff might miss, her ability to sustain her spam suffers greatly, and her damage would also hit rather weakly.

2) Hassan also relies on crits but has no way of instantly producing stars or absorbing them, which means that she would need someone to create stars for her. Her NP brave chains produce a decent amount of stars that she can use for her 2nd or 3rd NP, but the issue is whether she can recharge enough for a 2nd or 3rd time. If she doesn’t have stars to crit with, she can recharge to a decent amount, but not enough to do back-to-back NPs.

3) Her NP gain is not enough. Even with crits, HFH can’t bring her NP back to 100%, which means she’ll need some sort of outside support. However, her 2nd NP, if it is an NPAA crit, should be able to recharge back to 100%, because of the stacking of her Arts resistance down debuff.

4) Her heal removes her buffs, which is an absolute foil for her performance. Within her niche meta, Arts teams, it is rare to not have a buff constantly in play. If one absolutely needs her heal, one would be pressured to sacrifice all her other buffs, including those vital for her damage and spam.

That said, HFH isn’t exactly terrible. It’s just that in regards to her own skills and viable supports, she can be rather tricky to use, and her weaknesses can be rather difficult hindrance within Arts teams. But in the case her buff hits and all she needs are provided for her, she can do rather well in her spam, and if she’s able to spam her damage and NP gain grows continuously with each NP as well. Her crit rate down debuff is very useful for hard fights, and her Arts resistance down can be very helpful for her teammates as well.

HFH has a great NP that gives an Arts down resistance debuff and a large crit rate down. Her NP does good damage, and serves to aid her in achieving her maximum worth in usage. The Arts Resistance down serves as the debuff equivalent of an Arts up, much like a DEF down is to an ATK up.

Due to her role as an NP spammer, if she’s able to spam, her damage only grows with every NP, because of her debuff adding up together. In the case where her Arts up buff misses, the debuff serves as a small insurance as well.

Not only that, her NP also hits for a good 11 times, which can refund her a decent amount of gauge. It also generates a fair amount of stars, if coupled with her 1st and 2nd skills.

Due to the large area of error in her kit, an Arts up is most recommended for Hassan, to provide her a backup in case her Arts card fails to hit.

NP damage CEs scale considerably higher than Arts up CEs, which means Hassan’s NP damage would benefit considerably well with a CE like this.

Deal damage to a single enemy
[Overcharge]Decrease Critical Rate for the target (3 turns)

Deal damage to a single enemy
Decrease Arts Card effectiveness for all enemies (3 turns)
[Overcharge] Decrease Critical Rate by 20% for all enemies (3 turns)

Skill Priority: 2 > 1 > 3

• Librarian of Wisdom C

  Maxing at 20% and 40% respectively, this skill allows Hassan to generate a good number of stars despite not being able to form Quick chains. Her Extra card in particular has 6 hits, which makes a good amount of stars with her Brave chains. The increase in NP gain also multiplies with her Arts up/down, which can help her spam more reliably.

• Hundred Specialization A+

  A great skill. The cards all receive a flat 30% boost, and leveling up the skill increases the chances for them to hit, with 80% being the max cap. This skill boosts her damage, stargen, and NP gain very well, and combined with her 1st skill, Hassan becomes able to produce many stars for herself.

• Battle Retreat B

  A great heal, but with a giant price. Removing all her buffs is tantamount to foiling her entire performance, making the skill tricky to use properly.

With a QQAAB deck, Hassan is able to produce a good number of stars for herself, even with her Arts cards due to her buffs and hitcount number.
