Hitomi is an SSR Support/Buffer belonging primarily to the Wild Spirit (Green) and Sanctum Glory (Yellow) factions. Community players debate her role as a column-based “Attack Funnel” buffer.
She functions similarly to Vivienne in terms of targeted stat transfers, but focuses on bolstering physical carry units—most notably serving as a dedicated support for Tamamo-no-Mae.
Strengths
- Targeted Column Buffing: Automatically targets and buffs the ally sharing her same column with the highest Attack stat.
- Tamamo Synergy: Community testing reveals she perfectly complements Tamamo-no-Mae, enabling massive damage spikes for Green faction setups.
- Faction Flexibility: Performs exceptionally well in Green/Wild Spirit comps, while offering secondary flexibility for Yellow/Sanctum Glory teams.
Weaknesses & Limitations
- Strict Positioning/Gear Management: Like Vivienne, utilizing her effectively alongside Guardians or tanks requires tight Attack stat management. If a Guardian accidentally holds a higher Attack value than your carry, Hitomi’s column buff will target the wrong ally.
- Conditional Value: Players consider her “a worse Vivienne” on standard teams unless explicitly paired with physical carries like Tamamo-no-Mae.
- Column Locking: Demands specific grid placement, limiting your team’s tactical positioning options against line-targeting bosses.
Strategic Build & Investment Recommendations
| Milestone / Stat | Target Level | Operational Impact |
| Minimum Viable Star | Base / 3-Purple Stars | Functional as a baseline column-buff bot for early Wild Spirit tower climbs. |
| Recommended Milestone | 6-Purple Stars | Key Benchmark. Increases the percentage scaling of her Attack funnel to keep pace with mid-game power deficits. |
| Endgame Target | 3-Red Stars (Red 3) | Stabilizes her survivability and maxes her buff output for competitive Arena setups. |
| Primary Stat Focus | Attack & Haste | Scales the baseline stat value she transfers while speeding up her skill rotation. |
| Secondary Stat Focus | HP & Defense | Ensures she survives backline pressure while tethered to her column carry. |
Best Team Synergies
Hitomi shines when placed directly behind high-scaling physical hyper-carries:
| Role | Preferred Luminaries | Why They Synergize |
| Primary Hyper-Carry | Tamamo-no-Mae | Her absolute best-in-slot partner. Hitomi’s column attack funnel directly amplifies Tamamo’s damage output. |
| Off-Tank / Bruiser | Marylis | Works well in high-investment Green bruiser comps (e.g., D6 Marylis + Red 3 Hitomi setups). |
| Frontline Guardian | Athena | Provides global pulls and lockdown, clumping enemies together while Hitomi buffs the backline carry. |
| Alternative Tank | Xuanwu | Can be run alongside Hitomi and Vivienne, provided gear is tuned so Xuanwu or the main DPS holds the highest Attack stat in the column. |
Community Tips & Final Verdict
- Gear Management Warning: Pay close attention to gear sets when running Hitomi. Always check that your main carry’s Attack stat strictly exceeds your frontline Guardian’s Attack to ensure Hitomi’s column buff targets the correct unit.

- PULL IF: You run a dedicated Wild Spirit (Green) team anchored by Tamamo-no-Mae or need a column-based Attack buffer for physical carries.
- SKIP IF: You already rely heavily on Vivienne for universal Attack buffing or lack a top-tier Green physical carry to pair with her.
