Hook Best Build

Hook build overview

Hook is a Fire Destruction character commonly used for main dps, burn, blast. Hook's build supports main dps, burn, blast while keeping the team rotation reliable.

Use Firesmith of Lava-Forging as the primary Relic set and Rutilant Arena as the Planar Ornament. Recommended main stats are CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG, SPD / ATK%, Fire DMG, ATK%. Hook should meet the listed Speed, Effect Hit Rate or Break Effect target first. Then improve the main scaling stats.

Light Cones and alternatives

Woof! Walk Time! is the premium Light Cone because its passive is designed around Hook's core mechanics. Hook can use the listed Light Cones when their passives match the team rotation. On the Fall of an Aeon and Under the Blue Sky For Hook, keep the Relic setup with stronger main stats and useful substats.

Recommended teams

• Premium team: Hook, Sparkle, Tingyun, Huohuo. This formation keeps Hook in the core role while covering damage amplification, turn economy and sustain.
• Alternative team: Hook, Asta, Pela, Gallagher. This formation keeps Hook in the core role while covering damage amplification, turn economy and sustain.
• Accessible team: Hook, Guinaifen, Asta, Natasha. This formation keeps Hook in the core role while covering damage amplification, turn economy and sustain.

Hook's team swaps should keep a buffer or debuffer plus a sustain that fits the combat loop.

Trace priority

• Lower priority: Hehe! Don't Get Burned!
• High priority: Hey! Remember Hook?
• Highest priority: Boom! Here Comes the Fire!
• High priority: Ha! Oil to the Flames!
• Lower priority: Ack! Look at This Mess!

Raise the ability that defines Hook's main role first. Hook's lower-impact Traces can wait until the character, Light Cone and main teammates are leveled.

Investment advice

Level Hook, the Light Cone and key Traces before long Relic farming sessions. Hook is complete at E0 with a suitable alternative Light Cone. Compare Hook's signature or Eidolons with upgrades for the full team.
