Summary of "Why I'm Skipping Hotori (on global) But Maybe You Shouldn't | Neverness to Everness"
Game storyline (from the subtitles)
- No direct storyline is discussed in the clip.
Gameplay highlights & what Htorii does
Combat role: Sub-DPS with time-freeze utility
- Htorii is positioned as a sub DPS with time-freeze abilities.
- Her time-freeze is especially useful in the Spiral Abyss, because it contains time-based attacks.
Standard skill
- Doesn’t focus on big damage by itself.
- Provides a short window (~5 seconds) to record up to 3 skills from other teammates.
- Those recorded skills then interact with her ultimate.
Ultimate
- Puts her into a high DPS mode.
- Triggers aftershadow/echo-style teammate attacks based on the recorded skills.
- While her ultimate is active, it freezes the timer, effectively letting you deal damage “during zero seconds.”
“Silver lining” / limitations to understand
- Recorded skills can be either support skills or standard skills.
- Only a limited time window (5 seconds) is available to record those skills.
- Extra effects from skills generally persist.
- Example: a character’s poison can still apply later if recorded.
- Example: a gadget/robot summon can still happen later if recorded.
- Some recorded skills may be less valuable if their key buff requires the character to be on-field.
- Example mentioned: crit damage buffs are meaningful mainly when the character can apply them directly to the main DPS.
- If used only as an off-field “aftershadow,” that buff may be less useful.
Blossom-team synergy (time-freeze + DoT damage staying active)
- In a Blossom team, Htorii is highlighted as particularly strong:
- She has a skill that lets Blossoms keep dealing damage during time freeze.
- The clip calls out synergy with:
- Jon: can double the number of Blossoms on the field
- Nali: increases the rate of fire, further boosting Blossom damage
- The logic described: when time is frozen, most things stop—but Htorii and her aftershadow effects still enable damage, making Blossom damage a major advantage.
Versatility: off-element teams via copied skills
- Htorii can be used in off-element teams because her ultimate can “re-get the benefits” of other teammates’ strong skills once recorded.
- The clip suggests pairing her with multiple comps to reuse other characters’ bursty toolkit.
Key strategy / decision framework mentioned
How to use her kit (high-level flow)
- Use Htorii’s standard skill to start recording.
- Within 5 seconds, swap to teammates and cast skills to store up to 3.
- Cast Htorii’s ultimate to trigger her damage phase and the recorded effects while time is frozen.
Element strength concern (why the creator is skipping her)
- The creator worries about elemental redundancy:
- Cosmos element is already strong on the account/servers discussed.
- Standout Cosmos options mentioned:
- Main character (described as “completely broken”)
- Cheese (described as a free-to-play hypercarry)
- Therefore, Htorii is framed more as an amplifier than a “patch” for missing needs across multiple team archetypes.
- Claimed gaps are elsewhere:
- Chaos characters
- Luxana supports (referred to as lacking)
Non-combat perks & where her time-freeze shines
Bank Heist mini-game
- Htorii can freeze time to help players rush objectives more effectively.
- Limitation:
- During time freeze, you cannot pick up anything and cannot interact with doors.
- Still a strong play pattern:
- Wait until the last moments (example: “~30 seconds left”) and then freeze time to reach the exit quickly.
Hospital mode
- She can freeze monsters so you don’t have to deal with them while time is stopped.
- Limitation:
- In hospital, you’re already picking up many items, and the time-stop restriction impacts pickup/interactions.
Life skill: Auction house weekly refresh
- Her life skill (auction house) can:
- add more items to purchase
- provide a roll for items, but only among items that are not already purchased
- Limitation:
- Refreshing won’t create brand-new full stock; it only affects items that remain unbought.
Why the creator personally is skipping Htorii
- They already have every standard character.
- They feel Htorii won’t add enough value for their account progression.
- They’re specifically waiting for a character that:
- has a strong life skill (example: improving fishing grind)
- or is a one-man army
- or is a character they love enough to max out
- They acknowledge Htorii brings variety, good utility, and nice skins, but “not enough” for their current priorities.
