Homa Pros and Strength

Support Attack Hybrid

Homa's primary role in any team is to focus on supporting a single ally by using RK 1 [Hovering Support] on your main DPS. However, because of her Trait, Homa actually makes for an effective and elusive normal attacker once you've unlocked RK 9 [Tangling Flying Knives].

Physical Atk Scaling Heal and Amazing Cleanse

While Homa cannot compare the size of her heals to either Inanna or Samantha, Homa is unique in that she can dispel the "no healing received" debuff. This means that her heals will always be consistent and will only get stronger as you increase her P.ATK stat.

Follow-Up Attack Specialist

Similar to Saffiyah, Homa can also evoke follow up attacks by casting either RK 1 [Hovering Support] or RK 11 [Hashalaram Carnival]. These abilities allow Homa to trigger follow-up attacks for herself and a chosen ally by calling [Baloor] whenever she or her ally performs a single-target attack.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Homa

Aim to Reach 3★ → 5★

Star Level Up Priority	Recommended Star Level
	3★ → 5★

At 3-stars, Homa gains +1 to her movement while [Healthy], and at 5-stars, her follow-up attacks steal 2 buffs and 1 NRG from enemies. Note that Homa can steal almost any buffs, even those included in events like Voyage of Discovery. Therefore, you should aim to reach 3-stars to increase her mobility, then prioritize getting her to 5-stars as soon as possible.

Priority Skills

Skill	Priority and Details
Hovering Support	★★★★★ Greatly boosts one ally and grants Homa a special buff, making this a must-have skill for your party. The 1.5x skill effect and the added follow-ups are incredibly strong. It's best used on a powerful attacker who can trigger [Act Again] to fully capitalize on the benefits.
Tacit Choice	★★★★★ A Choice Skill between [Barul Attack], which deals high total damage and inflicts a strong physical defense debuff, and [Cool Breeze], which heals and removes debuffs. Both cost 2 NRG, have no cooldown, and are easy to use yet highly effective—making this skill a strong addition to your build.
Evasive Mirage	★★★★★ A powerful Reaction that inflicts [Blind] and allows Homa to [Dodge] and [Strike Back] with an 80% chance against enemies it can be applied to. However, it's less effective against enemies immune to [Blind], and Homa may occasionally position herself dangerously.
Tangling Flying Knives	★★★★★ The effect of being able to move again after attacking is easy to use and powerful. After a Basic Attack, it becomes possible to retreat outside the enemy's attack range or towards allies.
Harmony	★★★★ At the end of the turn after using a Basic Attack or Skill, heals and removes debuffs from allies within 2 tiles. When combined with [Cool Breeze], it becomes an excellent support Skill—perfect when leaning towards healing.
Hashalaram Carnival	★★★★ Grants [Disturbance] (1 Dodge) and triggers an area attack. It's a valuable Skill that can also grant Baloor, making it ideal if you want to strike and apply Baloor at the same time. The debuffs it can inflict are especially effective against enemies that don’t have debuff immunity.

Skill	Priority and Details
Fleeing Hare	★★★ Unlike [Evasive Mirage], it can reduce damage, so against enemies you can't apply [Blind] to, this Reaction is more useful.
Heart Piercing	★★★ This is Homa's highest-damage Skill. With a high cost of 3 NRG and a 3 turn CD, it's especially effective in party setups that can support NRG recovery or cooldown reduction. If you're prioritizing offense, this skill is recommended.
Knock-Back Shot	★★ Compared to [Barul Attack] used within a 2-tile range, the damage is not much different, so only include it in stages where knock-back is needed.
Rampage Archer	★★ The effect of attacking adjacent enemies is not very useful, but the offensive buffs received when near an enemy is potent. In stages with low NRG supply, it's viable to include it over other attack Skills.
Ice Attack	★★ Generally, [Tangling Flying Knives] is easier to use, but this one has a 1-tile longer Range, which allows Homa to attack from relative safety.
Shield Break - Enhanced	★ While the effect itself is powerful, it has no effect on enemies without Shields. So only prioritize it when you absolutely need to deal damage to enemies with Shields.
Scatter	★ Useful only when you want to perform Ranged attacks, so its party priority is low.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for Homa

Longbow of Martyrs

Irian Combat Bow

Cornucopia Longbow

For Homa, increasing physical attack boosts both damage dealt and healing amount. For this reason, the [Longbow of Martyrs], which provides the highest physical attack increase, is especially recommended. The [Irian Combat Bow], which boosts physical attack and follow-up damage when an ally attacks, is also a great match. For Homa below 5 stars, the [Cornucopia Longbow], known for excellent NRG supply, is another solid option.

Recommended Trinkets for Homa

Flying Blade Armguard

Old Scrolls of Auguste

True Lens

For Homa, a variety of Trinkets work really well. The [Flying Blade Armguard] is great for triggering follow-ups, while support items like [Old Scrolls of Auguste] and [Disaster Bottle] help keep support the team. To boost healing and damage, the [True Lens] and [Origin Hourglass] are solid choices. Furthermore, the [Evergreen Pendent] is great for adding buffs. Switch up your Trinkets depending on your Skill setup and what role Homa is playing in the party.

Recommended Tarots for Homa

Mercy of The High Priestess

Dream of The Magician

Course of Fortune

For healing-focused builds, [High Priestess] is the top choice. For offense, go with [Magician] or [Hierophant] to boost her damage output. If you're under 5 stars and struggling with NRG, or want to focus more on supporting allies, [Fate] and [World] are also great options.

Recommended Engravings for Homa

Resonance	Effect
Wand Wand	After using a [basic attack], [skill], [strike back], or [assisting attack], gains 1 random [Level 2 Attribute Buff].
Cup Cup	Increases Healing Effect by 10% and Healing Received by 10%.
Sword Pentacle	When [unharmed], increases ATK and DEF by 12%.

While Homa is under 5-stars, [Wand + Cup], which eliminates cost and cooldown, is recommended. Once Homa reaches 5-stars, consider [Wand + Wand] to gain buffs with follow-ups, [Cup + Cup] to boost healing effectiveness, or [Sword + Pentacle] for increased damage dealt. Additionally, [Sword + Sword], with the highest cap for P.ATK rolls, is also a strong option.
