Hotori Complete Guide — S-Rank Cosmos Buff Support Build

Hotori is an S-rank Cosmos buff support with one of the strongest team-wide damage boosts in the game. Her grouping ability and damage amplification make her an excellent choice for nearly every team composition.

• Rarity: S-rank
• Element: Cosmos
• Role: Buff Support / Grouper

Normal Attack

Ranged Cosmos attacks. Decent but not Hotori's main value — she excels through her support skills.

Elemental Skill (E)

Releases a Cosmos energy field that pulls nearby enemies toward the center (grouping) while granting the team an ATK boost for 10 seconds. Large grouping range — Hotori's most core support skill.

Elemental Burst (Q)

Deploys a large Cosmos domain lasting 12 seconds, granting teammates inside ATK and Crit Rate buffs simultaneously. Enemies in the domain take increased Cosmos damage. One of the strongest team-wide buff skills in the game.

Passive Talent

E grouping works on elite enemies and bosses (reduced effect). Additionally, Hotori gains energy regeneration when teammates trigger elemental reactions.

Universal (fits almost any main DPS)

Hotori's buffs are element-agnostic, making her viable in nearly any team.

Nanally Team: Nanally + Jiuyuan + Mint + Hotori

Hotori replaces Jiuyuan's grouping (freeing Jiuyuan for other teams).

Lacrimosa Team: Lacrimosa + Daffodil + Hotori + Mint

Hotori's buffs dramatically boost dual-Chaos damage output.

F2P: Any main DPS + Protagonist + Hotori + Mint

• Best: Tears Behind the Mask (signature) — support effectiveness + energy regen
• Alt: Marching Beyond Time — universal support arc with energy recharge
• Priority: Energy Recharge > ATK% > HP%

• Best set: Lost Radiance 4-piece — best for supports, boosts team buff effectiveness
• Alt: 2+2 Energy Recharge + ATK mix
• Main stats: ATK% (hourglass) / ATK% (cup) / Crit Rate (crown)
• Substats: Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK% > Elemental Mastery

1. 1A1: Q buff effectiveness boosted (most critical)
2. 2A2: E grouping range and duration increased
3. 3A3+: Nice to have

1. 1Open with E to group and buff, letting your main DPS output in grouped state
2. 2Cast Q right before main DPS burst to maximize buff coverage
3. 3Hotori doesn't need extended field time — swap in, cast, swap out
4. 4Mind Q's 12-second duration — main DPS should burst within this window

One of the strongest supports in the current version. Grouping + damage amplification makes her virtually universally applicable. No matter your main DPS, Hotori significantly boosts team output. Highly recommended for all players.
