Hathor

Overview

Hathor is an S-Class Lakshana Esper and an elite courier for Sterry Express. She wields Blade Wings and turns every fight into a stylish rush, built around maintaining constant motion and stacking Express Delivery Power. Rated S-tier in early tier lists with low mechanical difficulty (2 out of 5), Hathor combines accessibility with strong performance across both boss encounters and mob clearing.

Her combat identity draws from her courier profession: abilities are themed around deliveries, speed ratings, and logistics terminology. She can manifest thorns from her body to construct a replica of her favorite motorcycle, which is the centerpiece of her Ultimate ability.

Hathor is a trained martial artist who fights with fast and agile movements. Her combat style blends melee weapon skills with acrobatic martial arts strikes, allowing her to flow between attacks without losing momentum. This fighting philosophy carries through her entire kit, from basic attacks to her ultimate ability.

Her ultimate ability has a motorcycle-based attack sequence where she summons her courier bike and uses it as both a vehicle and a weapon. The motorcycle ultimate fits her identity as Sterry Express's top courier, turning her delivery vehicle into a devastating combat tool. The combination of high-speed motorcycle charges and martial arts finishers makes her ultimate one of the most visually dynamic in the game.

Character Profile

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

Passive Abilities

Awakening

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

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.

Energy Battery Role

Beyond her own damage output, Hathor fills a critical energy battery role for the team. Her abilities generate energy not just for herself but also for her teammates, helping other characters charge their skills and ultimates faster. This makes her a valuable team member even outside of her personal DPS contribution.

The energy generation is woven into her Express Delivery Power mechanic. As Hathor builds and spends stacks through her normal gameplay loop, she produces surplus energy that feeds into the team's shared resource pool. Teams with energy-hungry characters benefit enormously from having Hathor on the roster, as she reduces the downtime between ultimate ability rotations across the entire squad.

This energy battery function makes Hathor especially strong when paired with characters whose ultimates are their primary damage source. For example, pairing her with Nanally lets the Anima DPS access her Underboss summon more frequently, while supporting Hotori's time-freezing ultimate means more crowd control uptime for the team.

Elemental Synergy

As a Lakshana Esper, Hathor triggers the following Esper Cycle reactions:

Sterry Express

Hathor is 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.

Hamster Ball Anomaly Furniture Unlock

Adding Hathor to the player's roster unlocks the placement permission for Hamster Ball, an S-Grade anomaly furniture piece in the Anomaly Property catalog. The Hamster Ball produces Modules on a daily reset cycle while it is placed in any owned unit, with the rarity of the daily drop scaling with the furniture's upgrade level. Maximum upgrades award Gold (5-Star) Modules, the same tier the Hard difficulty of the Rabbit Hole awards on a stamina-paid run.

The unlock check passes whenever Hathor is in the player's roster. Hathor does not need to be deployed in combat or running a Cafe shift; the furniture's daily output runs in the background regardless of whether the player has Hathor on the active team that day.

This faucet is the primary long-term reason Hathor is recommended on the S-Rank Selector for quality-of-life value rather than raw combat ranking. Module income compounds across every character build a player ever runs, so a stamina-free daily Module trickle saves Character Pixels for other farms over the lifetime of the account. Players who skip Hathor on the selector cannot place the Hamster Ball at all until they pull her later on the standard banner or claim her through Warp Piece exchange.

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.

Skill Flavor Text

Each of Hathor's skill tooltips opens with a flavor line that reinforces her courier-discipline persona. The lines below are the in-game flavor text that frames the mechanical descriptions covered in the Skill Details section.

Compatible Arcs

Hathor has 8 Arcs flagged as a thematic match by the in-game character recommendation panel. Refinement effects below are quoted from each Arc's tooltip and do not represent a tier ranking.

Ascension Materials

Ascension lifts Hathor's level cap one step at a time. Each phase requires the listed Coins (the world currency) plus a fixed list of materials. World Level shown is the minimum required to access the breakthrough.

Stat Curve

Hathor's base HP, ATK, and DEF at key level milestones. These numbers are the raw character base values before Awakening, Console Modules, Cartridges, or Arc bonuses modify them.

Awakenings

Awakenings unlock through duplicate copies of the character. Each tier from A1 to A6 grants a named upgrade.

Resonance Effects

Resonance bonuses unlock at specific Awakening milestones, not from additional duplicates. R1 activates when the character reaches A3, and R2 activates at A6. Both stack on top of the named Awakening node effects.

Console Passive

Each character has a Console passive that activates when the matching Module type is equipped on their Console grid. This is a flat passive that scales linearly with the count of matching Modules and is the strongest reason to commit to a single Module type when building this Esper.

Type III Specialization: Increases ATK by 10% for each Type III Module equipped.

Life Skills

Life Skills are out-of-combat benefits that activate while the character is assigned to the relevant non-combat activity (Eibon Antique Shop owner duty, Sea Angler trips, City Tycoon shifts, and similar passive systems). Each level unlocks an additional or stronger benefit and stacks with the previous levels.
