Strengths & Weaknesses

Bronya

Strengths
  • Ultimate “The Belobog March” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
  • “Combat Redeployment” action-advances an ally with a damage amp attached—one Skill Point buys a full extra carry turn.
  • Talent “Leading the Way” After using her Basic ATK, Bronya's next action will be Advanced Forward by 38%—ignore it and Bronya plays like a worse generic Harmony unit.
Weaknesses
  • Buff windows on “The Belobog March” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
  • Bronya’s Skill is often the expensive part of the rotation; SP-negative teams force Basic ATKs and you lose the advance/amp that made the unit worth playing.
  • Spamming “Combat Redeployment” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Bronya is often the SP sink.

Hanya

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Ten-Lords' Decree, All Shall Obey” Increases the SPD of a target ally by 22.5% of Hanya's SPD and increases the same target ally's ATK by 72%—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
  • Skill “Samsara, Locked” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Sanction” When an ally uses a Basic ATK—ignore it and Hanya plays like a worse generic Harmony unit.
Weaknesses
  • Buff windows on “Ten-Lords' Decree, All Shall Obey” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
  • Hanya’s Skill is often the expensive part of the rotation; SP-negative teams force Basic ATKs and you lose the advance/amp that made the unit worth playing.
  • As a 4★ Harmony unit, Hanya is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
