Hizuki Mari is a control-focused SR Disorder champion who excels in disrupting enemy teams, applying turn denial, and shutting down healing-based comps, particularly in PvP. Her unique passive aura affects all units on the battlefield—granting [ATK ↑] to everyone while simultaneously applying a healing penalty and preventing additional ATK buffs from being applied.

Her Skill 1 – Shadow Return is a single-target attack with a chance to apply [Turn Meter -], giving her useful soft control and the ability to delay enemy ultimates or key skills. This alone makes her a handy tech option in both PvE and PvP scenarios.

Where she truly shines, though, is her Skill 2 – Dual Sphere, a passive battlefield aura that globally increases ATK but reduces all healing received and locks out ATK ↑ buffs. This can turn enemy healers into dead weight while still boosting your own team’s damage output. The downside of the healing penalty is shared by both teams, but in well-coordinated PvP setups, this tradeoff heavily favors Mari’s side.

Her Ultimate – Burst Temari is a 2-hit AoE attack that applies [Petrify] and [RES ↓]. This dual-layered crowd control stuns enemies while simultaneously setting them up for follow-up debuffs or DoT strategies. The [RES ↓] effect ensures subsequent debuffs land more reliably, and the [Petrify] buys your team precious breathing room.

Thanks to her kit’s balance of damage utility, debuff setup, and enemy healing denial, Hizuki Mari is a standout pick for PvP environments where speed control and sustain suppression are paramount. She can also function in PvE as a secondary support in debuff-heavy teams, although her full value shines brightest in arena-style content.

Best used in:

• Anti-healer PvP comps
• Debuff-centric PvE teams (especially those using [Poison] or [Burn])
• Compositions needing crowd control and turn meter delay

If you’re struggling against high-sustain enemy teams or need a powerful lockdown tool that can tilt momentum in your favor, Hizuki Mari is a reliable and disruptive asset worth building into your roster.

Our team have spent a long time updating our ratings since beta ended and we moved into Global Launch. We are constantly reviewing our ratings and are based on our experience and opinion playing Etheria: Restart and in partnership with @ZoxaskunX

While we've highlighted shells that have proven successful for us, they’re just a starting point—how you equip your Animus can vary greatly based on your account progress and the specific encounters you’re preparing for.

The build recommendations we offer are based on setups we've found to be effective, but they’re by no means the only options—there’s a vast array of ways to gear your Animus depending on the challenges you’re tackling and the tools at your disposal.
