- Versatile support-type hero - Strong Basic Attack synergy: Cover triggers an ally's Basic Attack - Powerful Guts effect: HP Swap + Unable to Recover + Buff Block - Excellent Awakening Skill with Cooldown Reduction and Cooldown Increase - First hero with both Buff Block and Buff/Debuff Duration Increase

Versatile Support-Type Hero

Hayeon is a highly versatile support hero with several excellent effects, including Buff/Debuff support, Damage Immunity, Cooldown Increase & Cooldown Reduction, and Cover.

With Ally Role Support, she can be treated as an Attack- or Magic-type hero for team building, so she can perform well in Physical- or Magic-focused teams too.

Should (Name) Be Awakened?

Prioritize Awakening for PvP Use

Awakening unlocks Cooldown Reduction, Cooldown Increase, Buff Block, and Barrier generation, further boosting her support performance. If you're using her as a support in PvP, she's a hero worth awakening early.

How to Awaken

Their skill enhancement progress carries over even after Awakening. Once Awakened, they can also enhance their Awakening Skill, so be sure to enhance your main heroes.

Hayeon (Awakening) Strength and Features

Cover Triggers an Ally's Basic Attack

Hayeon is the first hero with the Cover effect, giving her a chance to have an ally join her Basic Attack against the same target when she attacks. Pairing her with a strong Attacker can let you deal massive HP damage.

Guts HP Swap + Unable to Recover is Powerful

When Guts triggers, Hayeon swaps HP with the enemy that currently has the highest HP and also applies Unable to Recover and Buff Block, which is very strong. Since the target can't heal back up until the debuff is removed, she has a strong chance of bringing an enemy to the brink of death.

Great at Buff/Debuff Support

Hayeon has strong Buff/Debuff support, including Bleed on Buff Removal, Continuous Healing on Debuff Removal, Buff/Debuff Duration Increase, and Buff Block. Raising Effect Resistance is better for making full use of these effects.

Cooldown Increase + Reduction Awakening Skill is Excellent

Her Awakening Skill grants Cooldown Reduction to all allies and Cooldown Increase to all enemies. It can only be used once, but it can create a large gap in skill cooldowns that swings the battle heavily in her favor.

Low Damage Output Due to Support Focus

Hayeon's drawback is that, being support-focused, she can't deal much damage. In particular, her Skill 2 isn't an attack skill, so using her in high-damage Physical or Magic teams can result in a wasted turn.

Vs. Hayeon (Awakening) Guide

Raise Effect Resistance

Her Paralysis and Cooldown Increase are troublesome, so raising Effect Resistance is an effective countermeasure. Also, though it comes down to turn-order luck, if your own Hayeon's Awakening Skill activates after the enemy Hayeon's, you can counter her Cooldown Increase with Cooldown Reduction.

Incoming Healing Reduction, HP Alteration, and Ignore Defense Are Also Effective

Her Continuous Healing and all-ally healing below 50% HP are also troublesome, so using a character with an Incoming Healing Reduction skill is also a good idea. She's a highly durable character with HP Swap as well, so focus your attacks around HP Alteration and Ignore Defense effects.

Best Build for Hayeon (Awakening)

Best Equipment Sets

Set	Why It's a Good Fit
Paladin	- Increasing HP raises her healing and Barrier values - Best if you want to prioritize healer performance
Gatekeeper	- Higher durability lets her support allies over a longer fight - Best if you're prioritizing durability
Orchestrator	- Best if you're using her as a Debuff Removal support
Spellweaver	- Best if you want to raise her Debuff application rates

Since raising Hayeon's HP increases her healing and Barrier durability, Paladin is a safe, easy-to-use choice. Gatekeeper is also an option when you want more durability, Orchestrator if you're using her as a Debuff Removal support, and Spellweaver if you're building her as a debuffer.

Paladin Set (Support Build)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Paladin	[Weapon] - HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate [Armor] - Damage Taken Reduction - Effect Resistance - Block Rate	- HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate - Effect Resistance - Block Rate - Defense (%) - Speed

Beyond HP, it's best to raise Effect Resistance so debuffs can't lock her down, and Effect Hit Rate to increase her own debuff application rates. If you're using her in a Physical or Magic team, Speed is also worth considering.

Gatekeeper Set (Durability Build)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Gatekeeper	[Weapon] - HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate [Armor] - Damage Taken Reduction - Effect Resistance - Block Rate	- HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate - Effect Resistance - Block Rate - Defense (%) - Speed

When using Gatekeeper, raise both Block Rate and HP for the best results. Using Damage Taken Reduction as your main option while raising Block Rate as much as possible via sub options increases her durability.

Orchestrator Set (Debuff Countermeasure Build)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Orchestrator	[Weapon] - HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate [Armor] - Damage Taken Reduction - Block Rate	- HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate - Effect Resistance - Block Rate - Defense (%) - Speed

Raising Effect Resistance with Orchestrator is also a solid way to prevent being locked down by status effects. It's a great fit when the meta has a lot of status-effect heroes, or in battles where you know your opponent in advance, like Guild War, and want to prepare against debuffs.

Spellweaver Set (Debuff-Focused Build)

Set	Main Option Candidates	Sub Option Candidates
Spellweaver	[Weapon] - HP (%) [Armor] - Damage Taken Reduction - Effect Resistance - Block Rate	- HP (%) - Effect Hit Rate - Effect Resistance - Block Rate - Defense (%) - Speed

If you want to specialize in applying debuffs, use Spellweaver to raise Effect Hit Rate and Effect Probability. It's best to focus your options around HP to keep her durable.

Best Rings for Hayeon (Awakening)

Legendary Rings

Best Rings to Equip
Ring of Resurrection	Ring of Immortality	Ring of Authority

Hayeon is best built around durability, and since she also has healing and shield skills, the Ring of Resurrection—which makes the most of high durability—is the top recommendation. Since she already has a Guts passive, avoid equipping the Ring of Authority.

Hayeon's Best Tuning & Dedicated Equipment

Hayeon's Best Tuning

Since Hayeon requires high survivability in PvP, the best Tuning effects are Resilience and Rejuvenate. Which to prioritize depends on your team composition.

Hayeon (Awakening) - Enhancement & Transcendence

Hayeon (Awakening) Enhancement Priority Quick Reference Table

Potential	Transcendence	Skill Enhancement	Awakening

For Potential and Transcendence, it is recommended to prioritize heroes at the top of the Best Hero Tier List who are versatile across all content. Since resources for Skill Enhancement are limited, choose the order of enhancement by comparing them with heroes of similar priority.

Hayeon (Awakening) - Recommended Hero Potentials

Potential	Priority/Remarks
Attack	：Enhance When Possible The impact is minor, but enhance this when you have spare resources to improve your win rate and scores.
Defense	：Prioritize Enhancement Not the top priority, but this stat has a strong impact on win rate and scores.
HP	：Prioritize Enhancement Not the top priority, but this stat has a strong impact on win rate and scores.

To unlock a Legendary Hero's Potential, a total of 3,000 Heart's Fires and 180 corresponding Uncommon Rank Up Materials are required per stat.

Hayeon - Recommended Transcendence

Transcendence Level	Recommendation / Effect
Transcendence 2	：Extremely Powerful Effect Increases Defense by 6% [Pre-Awakening Passive Skill] (All Allies) Adds Effect: Barrier equal to 25% of the caster's Max HP when HP falls to 50% or lower. [Duration: 2 Turn(s)] [Once per Battle]
Transcendence 4	：Excellent Effect Increases Effect Hit Rate by 24%
Transcendence 6	：Extremely Powerful Effect Increases Defense by 6% [Pre-Awakening Passive Skill] (Enemies (Attack, Magic)) Adds Effect: 22% All Attack Reduction. [Always Active] (Enemies (Defense, Support, Universal)) Adds Effect: 24% Defense Reduction. [Always Active]
Transcendence 7-12	：Limited Effect Increases All Attack, Defense, and HP by 2%

At Transcendence 2, she gains a passive that generates a Barrier for all allies when her HP drops below 50%, and at Transcendence 6, she gains a passive that reduces the Attack of all Attack/Magic-type enemies and the Defense of all Defense/Support/Universal-type enemies. Both effects are excellent, so it's best to push her Transcendence as far as possible.

Stage	Effects
T1	Increases Defense by 12%
T2	Increases Defense by 6% [Pre-Awakening Passive Skill] (All Allies) Adds Effect: Barrier equal to 25% of the caster's Max HP when HP falls to 50% or lower. [Duration: 2 Turn(s)] [Once per Battle]
T3	Increases HP by 18%
T4	Increases Effect Hit Rate by 24%
T5	Increases Defense by 12%

Skill Additional Effects from Transcendence (Before Awakening)

Stage	Effect
Transcendence 2	[Passive Skill] (All Allies) Adds Effect: Barrier equal to 25% of the caster's Max HP when HP falls to 50% or lower. [Duration: 2 Turn(s)] [Once per Battle]
Transcendence 6	[Passive Skill] (Enemies (Attack, Magic)) Adds Effect: 22% All Attack Reduction. [Always Active] (Enemies (Defense, Support, Universal)) Adds Effect: 24% Defense Reduction. [Always Active]

Awakening assumes Transcendence 6, and the skill enhancement effects from Awakening have already been applied. Stat bonuses are shared between pre-awakening and post-awakening.

Transcendence Guide

Hayeon - Recommeded Skill Enhancement

Skill	Priority/Effects
▲Awakening Skill	：Enhance if You Use It (All Allies) - Adds Effect: Grants a Barrier equal to 30% of the caster's Max HP. [Duration: 2 Turn(s)]

Skill Enhancement is required to unlock Awakening, so raising her Skill Enhancement before Awakening should be a high priority. Enhancing her Awakening Skill also adds a Barrier-generation effect for all allies, so prioritize enhancing that as well.

Recommended Skill Enhancement Before Awakening

Skill	Rating / Skill Enhancement Effect
▲Basic Attack (Pre-Awake)	：Fine Unenhanced - Increases Damage: To 70% of Magic Attack.
▲Skill 1 (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if Possible - Increases Chance: Paralysis chance becomes 55%.
▲Skill 2 (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if You Use It - Adds Effect: All Damage Immunity. [Duration: 1 Turn(s)]
▲Passive Skill (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if You Use It - Increases Chance: Cover chance increases to 63%. - Increases Healing: HP Recovery amount becomes equal to 22% of the caster's Max HP.

These priorities are based on using the Hero before Awakening. If you prioritize Awakening, max all skills without hesitation.
