T0.5

Analysis

AoE powerhouse that enhances Blossom abilities. Provides Lethal Rose Pact healing and pulls enemies together to maximize Nanally's damage.

Provides Lethal Rose Pact healing and a unique HP Devour mechanic

Cons

High opportunity cost — requires multiple dupes to truly hit T0 performance

Recommended Build

Role: Sub DPS / Crowd Control

Replacing Haniel with Hathor completes the Cosmos+Anima+Lakshana top-trio around Jiuyuan, enabling Remora (Zero+Hathor), Blossom (Zero+Nanally), and the Charge triple-cycle on every rotation. Hathor's Delay Warning grants +10% Crit Rate on all Remora targets, directly amplifying Nanally's 10-Pistil salvos. The combination of More Than Passionate (10 Pistils) and Seize the Moment (6-Bud cap) delivers maximum Blossom throughput, while Zero's Insta-Cycle prevents any rotation from stalling.

Recommended Team

Nanally

Main DPS

More Than Passionate fires 10 Vita Pistils per Vita Bud at 1s intervals; primary Blossom damage dealer.

Zero

Quick Swap / Battery

Insta-Cycle (100-pt Skill charge) forces Blossom procs on demand. Appraiser doubles every Blossom flower count in Charge triple-cycle setups.

Jiuyuan

Sub DPS / Crowd Control

Seize the Moment spawns an extra Vita Bud and raises the field cap to 6; Intel Hunter clusters enemies for maximum multi-target Pistil coverage.

Hathor

Battery / Sub DPS

Lakshana anchor completing the Cosmos+Anima+Lakshana Charge triple-cycle. Delay Warning extends Remora to 12s and grants +10% Crit Rate team-wide on Remora-marked targets — amplifying Nanally's Pistil crits every rotation.
