Main DPS / Carry Candidate
Hotori's current role read is Main DPS / Carry Candidate. This should be treated as a launch-window profile interpretation, not a permanently solved kit classification.
Hotori currently reads like an Cosmos carry whose value depends on finding the correct damage window, stat line, and team support around Umbrella Katana.
| Skill | Type | Impact | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Attack | Basic | Usually matters for uptime and stat weighting. | Community Banner Summary Needs In Game Verification |
| Core Skill | Skill | Likely the main build and rotation checkpoint. | Needs Verification |
| Ultimate | Ultimate | Energy and rotation comfort should stay flexible until exact scaling is confirmed. | Needs Verification |
| Passive | Passive | Passive text will likely change the final build and teammate priority more than raw skill names do. | Launch Theorycraft |
| Candidate | Rank | Type | Substat | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best Arc candidate | S | Cosmos synergy | CRIT / ATK / role-fit stat | Public Data / Live Check |
| Strong alternative | A/S | Cosmos synergy | Flexible offensive or utility line | Community Banner Summary Needs In Game Verification |
| Budget option | B/A | Cosmos synergy | Accessible comfort stat | Launch Theorycraft |
Hotori is a limited-banner decision character. Before pulling, confirm the active banner window, your Solid Dice budget, and whether you are saving for the next limited lane.
| Method | Currency / Requirement | Window | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limited Board: Misty Tipsy Style | Solid Dice / limited pity planning | Version 1.0 banner window | Community Banner Summary Needs In Game Verification |
| Banner context | Check current limited phase before spending | Patch-sensitive | Public Data / Live Check |
Banner value, selector value, and free-route value are different decisions. Confirm which one you are actually making before you spend anything.
Premium pulls, standard pulls, and free claim routes should never be mixed together when planning a character investment.
If the obtain window is event-based or still patch-sensitive, verify the live condition in-game before you assume the route is permanent.
The build section expands the first-screen summary without pretending the numbers are final. Role drives the build first; exact optimization waits for live testing.
| Build Type | Stat Priority | Arc / Module Direction | Best For | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recommended Build | CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / ATK / Attribute DMG | Primary output line plus attribute synergy | General Hotori use | Launch Theorycraft |
| F2P Build | ATK / CRIT comfort / practical uptime | Use accessible pieces and avoid overfarming too early | Resource-saving accounts | Public Data / Live Check |
| Early Game Build | Consistency over optimization | Use whatever lets the account progress without overspending | First progression | Public Data / Live Check |
| Endgame Build | Await live combat logs | Wait for live combat logs, final scaling, and Arc testing | Long-term min-maxing | Post-launch testing |
Team logic should explain why the shell exists. A main DPS needs support and break access. A support unit needs a carry worth supporting.
| Team | Members | Role Logic | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recommended Team | Hotori + support + breaker + utility | Treat the character as the main output lane, then add uptime, break access, and safety. | Community Banner Summary Needs In Game Verification |
| F2P Team | Hotori + free support + free flex + starter utility | Aim for stable progression before chasing perfect synergy. | Public Data / Live Check |
| Banner Context Team | Hotori + current roster shell | Limited units should be judged by what your actual account can field immediately. | Launch Theorycraft |
Do not spend high-value materials on Hotori until you confirm the role, team shell, and realistic build direction.
Known categories are enough for planning, but full cost tables should wait for live verification.
The right material decision is not whether a character is good in theory. It is whether the account needs this role right now.
Treat Hotori as a commitment pull. If you cannot approach pity or are saving for a later banner, wait.
Only reroll for Hotori if this is your exact launch plan. Do not reroll into a unit you are unsure how to support.
Hotori is not a selector target, so selector resources should solve a different roster problem.
Launch data changes fast. If the role, Arc lane, or material cost still feels uncertain, holding resources is usually the higher-signal decision.
Building pure damage first without checking whether the roster can support the character's uptime.
Pulling because the banner is live instead of because the account actually wants this limited lane.
Treating Hotori's launch profile as fully solved instead of patch-sensitive.
Overinvesting rare materials before the final team shell and Arc lane are clear.
