Release1.0
Hook is a Fire Destruction damage dealer who plays more like a single-target Hunt character. Her Skill Burns the target, her Talent adds Additional DMG and Energy on every hit against Burned enemies, and her Ultimate is followed by an Enhanced Skill that also hits adjacent enemies. She is simple to play and gets a lot of free Energy from her kit.

Guide
How to play
How she works
- Hey! Remember Hook? (Skill). Deals Fire DMG equal to 240% of her ATK to one enemy with a 100% base chance to Burn it for 2 turns (Fire DoT equal to 65% of her ATK at the start of each of its turns).
- Ha! Oil to the Flames! (Talent). Attacking a Burned enemy deals Fire Additional DMG equal to 100% of her ATK and regenerates 5 extra Energy. Innocence (A2) also heals her for 5% of her Max HP each time.
- Boom! Here Comes the Fire! (Ultimate, 120 Energy). 400% ATK on one enemy, then her next Skill is Enhanced: 280% on the target and 80% on adjacent enemies, still with Burn. Playing With Fire (A6) advances her action by 20% and gives her 5 Energy after the Ultimate.
- Ack! Look at This Mess! (Technique). Starts the fight by Burning every enemy for 3 turns.
Rotation
- Use her Technique to open with Burn on the whole wave.
- Use her Skill to keep the main target Burned; each hit on it triggers her Talent.
- Use her Ultimate as soon as it's ready: the A6 advance brings her Enhanced Skill quickly.
- Fall back on Basic ATKs when Skill Points run short — they still trigger her Talent against Burned enemies.
Tips
- Burn only has a 100% base chance, so tough enemies can resist it: E2 (longer Burn) makes her much more consistent.
- Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters works well because Burn counts as a debuff.
- Tingyun is her best partner: her Energy gives Hook more Ultimates, and therefore more Enhanced Skills.
Strengths
- Solid single-target damage
- Lots of free Energy from her kit
- Faster than she looks thanks to her A6 action advance
- High single-target Toughness damage
- Heals herself through her Talent
Weaknesses
- Mostly single-target despite her Path
- Needs Burn to land for full damage
- Many better Fire damage dealers exist
