Lance Howzer Strategy Tips

A Wind Attacker Whose Damage Increases During Burst

Lance Howzer is an Attacker whose damage dealt increases the more he attacks enemies under a Wind Element Burst, thanks to his Passive. After activating Burst, you can aim for higher damage by building Stacks with Basic Attacks before using Skills or his Ultimate Move.

Deal Extra Damage And Inflict Bleed With Gust

Howzer applies "Gust" to himself with his Special Attack. In the Gust state, the damage of his Ultimate Move increases, and a Bleed effect is added to his Normal Skill. Since his Ultimate Move becomes a guaranteed Crit against Bleeding enemies, .

Works Well With Longsword Tristan

Longsword Tristan can quickly accumulate Wind Burst, inflict Bleed, and enhance Wind Element attacks during Burst, bringing out the full potential of Lance Howzer. so it's recommended to pair them together.

Gauntlets Howzer Strategy Tips

A Debuffer That Lowers Crit Resistance

(Gauntlets) Howzer is a debuffer who can lower the enemy's Crit Resistance with the second hit of his Special Attack. Crit Resistance Down stacks up to 3 times, so stack it to increase your Crit Chance and deal more damage.

Chance to Reset Special Attack Cooldown

When the final hit of his Normal Skill or Basic Attack connects, there is a chance to reset the Cooldown of his Special Attack. Although it's dependent on luck, keep this in mind as a way to quickly build Stacks.

Switch with a Crit Attacker

After lowering the enemy's Crit Resistance with Howzer, switch to an Attacker who can increase their Crit Chance with self-buffs. Greatsword Tristan and Wand Elaine make it easier to land Crits with their Passives, and you can aim for high damage when combined with Howzer's debuff.

Examples of Crit Attackers
Tristan Greatsword	Elaine Wand

Pair with Characters Who Can Inflict Bleed

(Fist) Howzer's Passive enhances the Wind Element attacks of all allies against enemies with Bleed. Also, the Special Attack's Crit Resistance Down won't activate unless the enemy is Bleeding, so it's essential to pair him with characters who can inflict Bleed, such as Longsword Tristan or Axe Slater.

Examples of Characters Who Inflict Bleed
Tristan Longsword	Slater Axe

Nunchaku Howzer Strategy Tips

Supporter that can Restore Tag Gauge

Nunchaku Howzer's Normal Skill and Tag Skill are able to restore the Tag Gauge. Since he cna use his Tag Skill frequently, he can activate Burst faster. Additionally, he's also able to lower the enemy's Crit Resistance with his Normal Skill's Hold Continuous Attack.

Pull in Enemies Before Using Skills

With the Nunchaku, it's important to always pull in enemies first with his Special Attack before using your skills. This is due to his Normal Skill's short reach and his Hold Continuous Attack leaving him vulnerable. Compensate for this by using pull and Stun with his Special Attack.

Works Well With Crit Attackers

Howzer works well with Crit DPS since he can lower the enemy's Crit Resistance. Specifically, his Passive lower enemy Wind Defense while in a Wind Burst state. This makes him a particularly great partner for Wand Elaine who is a Wind-element Crit DPS.
