Personality
Hathor can come off as cold and intimidating to those who do not know her, but she is simply not very good at socializing with others. Her personal motto, "Clarity, obsession, disillusion," hints at a worldview shaped by discipline and a degree of emotional detachment. She maintains strict efficiency as a courier while concealing a more aggressive combat style that emerges when the situation demands it.
Within Sterry Express, Hathor is known for her flawless delivery record. She approaches her work with the same precision she brings to combat, treating every package as a mission that cannot fail. Her martial arts training predates her courier career, suggesting a background in structured combat disciplines before she joined the delivery service.
Combat Abilities
Hathor's kit revolves around building and spending Express Delivery Power stacks (maximum 6). Stacks are gained through kills, her Aerial Command skill, and the Excellent Rating Lock passive. When she activates her Ultimate, she enters Emergency Delivery state, which upgrades her skill, boosts movement speed, and grants ATK bonuses based on accumulated stacks.
Active Skills
Ability | Type | Effect |
|---|---|---|
Rapid Delivery | Basic Attack | Up to 5 consecutive martial arts strikes, drawing from techniques honed through tens of thousands of deliveries. |
Aerial Command | Skill | Leaps upward and slashes targets with wings, gaining 2 Express Delivery Power stacks. Can be held for up to 5 seconds for a charged state that deals area damage with expanding range and inflicts Five-Star Tracking on enemies. |
Rider Express | Ultimate | Summons a thorn-constructed motorcycle replica, rams enemies while accelerating in circles, then drives into the air and dive-crashes into the ground dealing Lakshana area damage. Activates Emergency Delivery state, upgrading Aerial Command to Cyclone Strike and granting ATK bonuses based on power stacks. |
Impact Point Designation | An aerial strike that kicks targets, dealing 2 instances of impact damage across an area. |
Passive Abilities
Passive | Effect |
|---|---|
Delay Warning | Targets with Excellent Rating Lock status in Remora zones receive enhanced debuff effects. |
Efficiency Boost | Defeating an enemy grants 1 stack of Express Delivery Power. |
Excellent Rating Lock | Triggers when enemies remain within range for 5 or more seconds. If targets attack during its 5-second duration, Hathor gains 1 stack (maximum 6 stacks). |

Hathor's Awakening upgrades progressively enhance her Express Delivery Power mechanics and Emergency Delivery state. Each level unlocks a named bonus that builds on her speed-and-stack combat loop.

Combat Ratings
Category | Rating |
|---|---|
Boss Damage | 4 / 5 |
Mob Clearing | 4 / 5 |
Difficulty | 2 / 5 |
Tier | S |
Hathor is rated S-tier in early tier lists with balanced performance across boss fights and mob clearing (4 out of 5 in both categories). Her low difficulty rating (2 out of 5) makes her one of the most accessible high-tier characters, rewarding players with strong output without demanding complex input timing. She performs especially well in Remora team compositions where her Lakshana element pairs with Cosmos teammates.
Elemental Synergy
As a Lakshana Esper, Hathor triggers the following Esper Cycle reactions:
Reaction | Description |
|---|---|
Stain | triggered with Psyche characters, increasing damage dealt by 50% for 12 seconds |
Remora | triggered with Cosmos characters, slowing enemy movement and attack speed |
Charge | the trio reaction combining Lakshana + Cosmos + Anima for enhanced team-wide effects |
Sterry Express
Hathor serves as an elite courier within Sterry Express, a delivery and logistics organization operating across Hethereau. Her colleagues at Sterry Express include Jiuyuan (S-Class Anima, a hybrid DPS/healer who drives for the service) and Haniel (A-Class Psyche, a social media influencer who delivers packages to earn extra cash). Together, they form the courier crew that appears in the main story episode "Deal? Deal!", where they attend a special anomaly auction alongside Esper Zero.
Hathor's role as the group's most combat-capable member means she often handles deliveries that venture into dangerous anomaly-affected areas where speed and fighting ability are equally important.
Life Skill
Practice Makes Perfect is Hathor's Life Skill, which enhances shop pricing and dish appeal across five progression levels. This skill ties into NTE's urban life simulation systems, allowing Hathor to contribute to the player's commercial ventures outside of combat.
Voice Actress
Hathor is voiced in English by Allegra Clark, an American voice actress known for her roles as Dorothea and Shamir in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Bloodhound in Apex Legends. Her deep, controlled delivery suits Hathor's cold exterior and disciplined personality.
Trivia
Hathor shares her name with the ancient Egyptian goddess of love, beauty, and joy, creating an ironic contrast with her cold and intimidating outward personality.
Her motorcycle Ultimate (Rider Express) is constructed from thorns that she manifests from her own body, blending organic and mechanical imagery.
The Awakening level names reference her daily life as a courier: "Elite Courier," "Regular Sandwich," and "Daily Life Walkthrough" ground her combat progression in everyday routine rather than dramatic power-ups.
Hathor's birthday (August 29) falls under the Virgo zodiac sign, which is traditionally associated with diligence, precision, and attention to detail, fitting her character.
Her S-tier rating combined with a 2/5 difficulty score makes her one of the best characters for players who want strong performance without a steep learning curve.
