Rating	10/10

An Arts-based support who can NP on back to back turns.His skillset gives him a position among the best supports in the game, despite being a 2 star. Providing both offensive and defensive buffs, healing and some stars. He is an all-round support, who he a little reliant on luck due to his Noble Phantasm and lower stats.

Pros

Provides a large combination of different supportive effects.
Buffs come from his NP, meaning they’re easy to stack.
NP gain from his cards is excellent, when combined with his second skill he should be able to NP on back to back turns.

Cons

The buffs that occur from his NP have a chance to fail.

Strategies & Tips

Arts: Generally Hans tries to build up gauge and launch his NP as many times as possible, his strength is in his constant buffs. Something to keep in mind is his low HP pool and lack of damage, he should be used on a team in combination with a servant with defensive capabilities and a damage dealer. Hans mostly serves as the buffer and healer support.

Best Servants to Work with

Servant	Explanation
Tamamo no Mae [JP]	Arts support, she would serve as the second support in an Arts team, she helps enable Hans’s ability to use his NP often.
Zhuge Liang	Helps Hans survive longer with his defense buff, and also helps to charge his NP.
Vlad III	A damage dealer for an Arts team, Hans stacking buffs helps compensate for Vlads Lower damage.
Chloe Von Einzbern [JP]	Another Arts damage dealer, she can also take advantage of the stars Hans may generate.

Best CEs

CE	Explanation
Piece of Year 2030	Helps increase his Star Generation per turn.
Formal Craft	Raises Hans’s low attack power and increases the performance of an already excellent Arts card.
Faithful Dogs Can't Wait Anymore	A combination of NP gain and Arts up, which can help with Han’s NP cycling a great deal.
