Harumasa's Strength

Attacker with Close and Long-Range Forms

Harumasa is an attacker with two forms: bow and dual blades. The bow form allows for safe attacks without worrying about distance, letting you keep your distance while attacking and stacking up. Afterward, Harumasa can swiftly close in with the dual blades form, dealing massive burst damage for a steady playstyle.

High Self-Sufficiency and Versatility as a General Attacker

Harumasa boasts abundant self-buffing damage and generates the crucial resource "Electro Quivers" without depending on specific team compositions. He excels as a main attacker with Stun-based characters and as a sub-attacker with Anomaly characters, offering great flexibility in team building.

Tip!	The condition for activating Additional Ability is also very simple: "Add a Stun or Anomaly character in the team!"

Harumasa - Strategy and Combo

Generates "Electro Quivers" and Applies Marks with "Falling Feather"

To maximize Harumasa's damage output, it's crucial to generate "Electro Quivers" on the field through various actions. Once you generate up to the limit of 6 using Chain Attack or similar actions, hold down the to lock on to enemies and attack, applying "X-Marked."

Massive Damage with Dash Attack

After applying "X-Marked" to the enemy, use Dash Attack → Basic Attack to close the distance and execute powerful melee attacks. Since (Number of Electro Quivers ÷ 2) + 1 allows consecutive attacks, continue attacking repeatedly until the "X-Marked" expires.

Tip!	With each consecutive attack, Crit DMG increases, and from the 3rd attack onward, a Crit DMG +72% buff is consistently applied (at Core Skill Level 7)!

Harumasa's Best Combo

1.	Generate 6 "Electro Quivers" using Chain Attack or Attribute Anomaly, etc.
2.	Hold down to activate "Falling Feather" and mark the target with an X-Mark.
3.	Use Dash Attack → x3 to close the distance and unleash 4 consecutive "Hiten no Tsuru – Slash" attacks.
4.	If Chain Attack was used in step 1 Follow up with 4th and 5th hits to generate another 6 "Electro Quivers" and perform marking again. If Attribute Anomaly was used in step 1 Hold down to generate "Electro Quivers" and mark enemies.
5.	Use Dash Attack → x3 again to close the distance and unleash 4 consecutive "Cloud Piercer – Drift" attacks.
Tip! - If Shock is triggered and "Electro Quivers" are generated mid-combo, immediately hold down to activate "Falling Feather."

Harumasa - Best Build (W-Engine/Disc Drive)

Recommended Drive Disc

General Purpose Build

Drive Disc	Set Effect
Woodpecker Electro×4	2-Pieces Effect：Increases CRIT Rate by 8% 4-Pieces Effect：Triggering a critical hit with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter or EX Special Attack increases the equippers ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately.
Branch and Blade Song×2	2-Pieces Effect：CRIT DMG +16%
Recommended Base Stat
［4］	Crit DMG / CRIT Rate
［5］	Electric DMG / PEN Ratio
［6］	ATK
Recommended Random Stats
CRIT Rate / Crit DMG / ATK(%)

Harumasa's recommended Drive Discs are 4-Pieces Woodpecker Electro + 2-Pieces Branch and Blade Song. While securing an important CRIT Rate, balance the rest by increasing ATK and Crit DMG.

Aim First to Secure 75% CRIT Rate During Combat

To make the most of Harumasa's main skill, "Hiten no Tsuru – Slash", stable critical hits are essential. With the Core Passive providing up to 25% CRIT Rate, aim for 75% CRIT Rate during combat through other means first.

Recommended W-engine

W-Engine	Recommendation/Rating
Zanshin Herb Case	Recommended Level - Harumasa's Signatured W-Engine - Greatly increases Electric damage dealt and CRIT Rate/Damage - Conditions are easy to maintain and can be kept active at all times
Marcato Desire	Recommended Level - Event limited W-Engine - Secures rare CRIT Rate with Advanced Stats - Greatly benefits from the ATK UP during combat
The Brimstone	Recommended Level - Significant ATK increase during continuous attacks - The large effect amount is appealing - Drawback is the time it takes to fully activate
Cannon Rotor	Recommended Level - Advanced Stats CRIT Rate-focused W-Engine - Easy to activate constant ATK UP and additional damage
Starlight Engine	Recommended Level - W-Engine that significantly increases ATK - Support attack activation conditions are frequently used - During Stun, consider using Quick Assist for extra support
Drill Rig - Red Axis	Recommended Level - Significantly increases Electric Attribute damage dealt - Energy recovery makes it easier to accumulate Electro Quiver - Drawback is that ATK and CRIT-related stats don't increase
[Lunar] Noviluna	Recommended Level - Includes CRIT Rate UP and energy recovery effects - Low Base ATK is a drawback, useful as a support

Harumasa's most recommended W-Engine is the Signatured "Zanshin Herb Case." It significantly boosts CRIT Rate/Damage required for activating Buffs, and greatly increases the damage of the main attack, 'Hiten no Tsuru – Slash.'

Equip a W-Engine that Can Increase CRIT Rate

If you don't have the Signatured W-Engine, equip something that can increase CRIT Rate through Advanced Stats or effects. In particular, the event-limited "Marcato Desire" is highly recommended as an alternative, as it also boosts ATK, and considering its availability, it's a great substitute.

Harumasa - Best Team Comp

Electric Hyper Carry Team

			Bangboo
Harumasa	Qingyi	Rina	Plugboo

Support Harumasa with High Frequency Stun and Shock

This is an Electric focused team combining Qingyi, who has high Stun performance and Stun DMG Multiplier, and Rina, who gives PEN Ratio/Electric damage Buffs. Not only does it significantly enhance Harumasa's damage, but High frequency Stun and Shock generate a large number of 'Electric Quivers' as well.

Deal Massive Damage with "Hiten no Tsuru – Slash" During Stun

Stun quickly with Qingyi, and once combined with Rina's Buff, deal massive damage with Harumasa's Dash Attack "Hiten no Tsuru – Slash". Even if there are no "Electro Quivers", they can be created through Shock or EX Special Attacks, etc.

Anomaly W Attacker Team

			Bangboo
Harumasa	Grace	Seth	Plugboo

Harumasa + Anomaly Characters' W Attacker Composition

This is an Electric focused team that boosts damage with two attackers, Harumasa and Grace. Grace, who accumulates Attribute Anomaly quickly, can apply Shock all at once, and Harumasa's "Electro Quivers" can also be generated frequently.

Tip!	With Stable + A-Rank, it's easy to assemble a team, and you can swap in characters like Yanagi, Piper, or Rina based on your roster!

Apply Shock with Grace and Generate "Electro Quivers"

Attack with Grace to apply Shock all at once, then switch to Harumasa to consume the generated "Electro Quivers." Increasing the accumulation rate of Attribute Anomaly with Grace will also increase the damage of Shock.

Free-to-play Cunning Hares Team

			Bangboo
Harumasa	Anby	Nicole	Plugboo

Team with Free Agents

This is an easy-to-build team using the initial free Agents Anby and Nicole. The strategy is simple: "Stun with Anby → Buff with Nicole → Deal damage with Harumasa," and with two Electric Attribute characters, it’s easy to aim for Shock.

Activate Nicole's Defense Debuff just before Harumasa's Ultimate

Nicole’s DEF Debuff granted through her force field is powerful, but its duration is short. After applying the Debuff with Nicole, be sure to use EX Special Attacks and other abilities, especially before Harumasa’s Dash Attack "Hiten no Tsuru – Slash" or Ultimate, to maximize the effect of the Debuff.

Recommended Characters

Character	Recommendation/Rating
Qingyi	Recommended Level - Stun/Attack activates Additional Ability for both - Generates "Electro Quiver" with high-frequency Stun and Shock - Increase instant damage with Stun DMG Multiplier UP
Rina	Recommended Level - Activate Rina's Additional Ability with the same Attribute - Good support in Electric Attribute assistance - Easy to give and maintain Shock
Yanagi	Recommended Level - Activate each other's Additional Ability with "Anomaly" and the same Attribute - Both deal damage as W attackers - Easily generates "Electro Quiver" with Shock
Anby	Recommended Level - Activate each other's Additional Ability with "Stun" and the same Attribute - Generates "Electro Quiver" with Stun and Shock
Seth	Recommended Level -Activate Seth's Additional Ability with the same Attribute - Takes Harumasa's damage taken with Shield - Shock is easier to aim for with effects like accumulation resistance down

Characters that work well with Harumasa include Qingyi and Rina, who can generate 'Electro Quiver' by frequently applying Stun or Attribute Anomaly. The team becomes even stronger with effects such as the activation of Additional Ability and Stun DMG Multiplier UP.

Recommended Bangboo

Bangboo	Recommendation/Rating
Agent Gulliver	Recommended Level - [[Anti-Hollow Section 6]] Activate Additional Ability with 2 characters - Bangboo specialized in applying Electric Attribute Anomaly - Can deal damage while maintaining Shock
Plugboo	Recommended Level - Activate Additional Ability with 2 Electric Attribute characters - Bangboo specialized in applying Shock - Versatile slot that makes it easier to trigger Additional Ability
Electroboo	Recommended Level - Activate Additional Ability with 2 Electric Attribute characters - Bangboo specialized in applying Shock - A lower rarity version of the Plugboo

Harumasa generates "Electro Quivers" when Attribute Anomaly occurs, so it is recommended to aim for Attribute Anomaly with Attribute Anomaly Bangboo. It's best to form a party with Electric Attribute Anomaly-type Bangboo to complement Harumasa.

Best Mindscape Cinema for Harumasa

Effect and Recommended Mindscape Cinema

C1 is Highly Recommended

The recommended Mindscape Cinema for Harumasa is his first one, as it significantly increases the number of Dash Attacks, a core component of his playstyle. With this upgrade, the number of consecutive strikes released from 6 Electro Quivers increases from four to seven. This allows Harumasa to deal significantly higher damage in a shorter amount of time.

Prioritize Mindscape if you have Marcato Desire

The best W-Engine choice for Harumasa is his signature Zanshin Herb Case, which enhances his Crit Rate and Dash Attacks. But there are other alternatives. Especially the Version 1.4 event reward W-Engine 'Marcato Desire' is a great match, so you can prioritize the Mindscape Cinema if you already have it.
