Haniel
Free Psyche support buffing team ATK and triggering Ensemble follow-up attacks.
Haniel Overview in Neverness to Everness
Haniel is the universal free support — every account that hit the pre-registration milestone unlocks her. Her Skill drops 'Hootie', a portable speaker that buffs the entire team's ATK based on Haniel's base ATK and triggers Ensemble follow-up Psyche damage. She fits in nearly every team comp and is one of the strongest F2P-accessible supports.
How to get: Free for everyone via pre-registration rewards. Permanent character, no banner pull required.
