Hook
Situational—Hook is an early Fire Destruction Burn carry. Ultimate “Boom! Here Comes the Fire!” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies. Best with Asta / Firefly. Burn synergy; outclassed by limited Fire DPS. Skip when Firefly/Himeko cover Fire damage.
Hook is a 4★ Fire Destruction Main DPS. Skill “Hey! Remember Hook?” is the primary in-combat spend. Ultimate “Boom! Here Comes the Fire!” is the payoff window for damage or team utility. This Phase 1 page covers kit text, gear targets, and pull notes—team comps stay empty until Phase 2.

Strengths
- “Boom! Here Comes the Fire!” dumps a huge single-target Fire multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Hey! Remember Hook?” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Ha! Oil to the Flames!” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- Technique “Ack! Look at This Mess!” opens by hitting the pack on pull-in—use it before every MoC wave, not only in the overworld.
Weaknesses
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Boom! Here Comes the Fire!”, Hook spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- As a 4★ Destruction unit, Hook is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
- Spamming “Hey! Remember Hook?” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Hook is often the SP sink.
- If “Boom! Here Comes the Fire!” is still offline at the end of a MoC cycle, the build is usually Energy/ERR or rotation order—not a missing CRIT roll.
Trace Priority
Boom! Here Comes the Fire! carries most of the kit’s damage or utility—level this first.
Hey! Remember Hook? supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Ha! Oil to the Flames! supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Hehe! Don't Get Burned! is last priority outside of filling trace materials.
Stat Priority
Open with Technique if it helps, spend Skill to advance the kit’s resource, and hold Ultimate for the damage or buff window. Exact teammate order lands in Phase 2.
Open supports first, then spend the carry’s Skill/Ult inside the buff window. Exact order varies by the team tab above.
Light Cones
5★ · Path cone
When the wearer attacks, increases their ATK by 0.08% in this battle. This effect can stack up to 4 time(s). After the wearer breaks an enemy's Weakness, increases DMG dealt by 0.12%, lasting for 2 turn(s).
Why it works —Strong Destruction option for Hook; use while farming or if signature is unavailable.
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's ATK by 0.24%. When the wearer defeats an enemy or is hit, immediately restores HP equal to 0.08% of the wearer's ATK. At the same time, the wearer's DMG is increased by 0.24% until the end of their next turn. This effect cannot stack and can only trigger 1 time per turn.
Why it works —Flexible alternative on the same path—equip if you already own it at higher superimposition.
4★ · Path cone
Increases DMG dealt by the wearer by 0.2%. The wearer also deals an extra 0.2% of DMG to enemies whose current HP percentage is equal to or higher than the wearer's current HP percentage.
Why it works —Best accessible option for most accounts—raise superimposition when copies drop.
4★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's ATK by 0.16%. When the wearer defeats an enemy, the wearer's CRIT Rate increases by 0.12% for 3 turn(s).
Why it works —Budget path cone—fine while building the account.
Relics
Team Compositions
Primary DoT detonation team for Hook. Asta, Firefly, Huohuo are the partners the kit / endgame clears assume first.
Core carry for this shell — owns the damage plan and sets the rotation pace.
Asta is the Advance / DMG amp — time their Skill/Ult for the carry’s damage window.
Firefly is the damage seat in this shell — build the supports around their rotation, not the reverse.
Huohuo covers healing (and often Energy / cleanse) so the carry can stay on-curve.
