I could never ever get bored of HoFi's beautiful Ultimate animation. It's too good, too beautiful, and most importantly, too dominating.

There are a few disclaimers I want to make about this run.

First, the actual performance of HoFi could be so much better for this build. However, due to lack of time, I couldn't make a better optimized run with a better clear time and more proper gameplay as this was actually first test run. As the video goes, I started to understand HoFi's Ult build gameplay much better.

Second, just to make it clear again, this is a really unoptimized run. The RNG luck was also not exactly in my favor as I wanted to oneshot Bull, which is actually very much possible, but I was lacking the needed signets by the end of it.

With all that said, let's talk about HoFi's gameplay for this build. It is actually fairly simple; every floor you want to start by using AE, then pressing the flashing A button to trigger HoFi's QTE. Beware that this is only for this build; as this feature is linked to the Final Moon Ego signet.

After QTE, you just spam HoFi's basic attacks in the air until you reach 4 Descension or after the Bat sequence goes off, then use DoG's Wep Active to get all 8 Descension stacks. Use Combo ATK to switch stance then either go into Absolute TF and instantly use Ultimate (or once you get Clarity as your 3rd Ego signet if you want to, do all 5 Attacks and cast Absolute TF's combo instead and link it into instant Ultimate), then repeat your Basics, Combo for stance switch and DoG Weapon Active until your Ult comes back off CD.

That's pretty much about it for HoFi Ult Build's gameplay, you simply destroy waves after waves with Ultimate spam endlessly.

Also, be aware that you want to prioritize stacking 12 stacks from the Rift Ego signet to boost your Ultimate's DMG massively; this isn't possible in Absolute TF, only outside it.

Read below for full explanation.

12% TDM Emblem used. S0 rank 1216 ATK DoG & Kiana Kaslana HoFi. You can probably expect HoFi's downscalability to be decent at best especially for Ultimate Build if missing 3-set Kiana.

Boss to take: Husk Mysticism, then Elysia or Vill-V

Supports Picked: AE & BR / BK
Note: AE & BR will be your staple supports for the entirety of the run.
If you're not confident against Heimdall, bring BK by F9 / F10 Shop.

Remembrance Sigils: Veil of Tears & The Lonely Moon
Note: The Lonely Moon is inseparable from HoFi. For this build, it is MVP due to its capability to take care of 2nd or 3rd Wave in floors, potentially allowing HoFi to save an Ult for the last wave and saving time.

Load Buffs: Pistol Users +20% TDM, Ignited Enemies +10% Phys/Elem DMG, +8% TDM when Type Counter/Countered

Ego Signets: Final Moon + Rift. Final Moon is your starter signet and Rift is a must-get for F2 Ego Reset, otherwise the build won't work. You can get a 3rd Ego Door for Clarity if you want a on-demand UE Skill for the purposes of easily triggering Sakura's signets and Griseo's Blue paint. This is purely for comfortability due to HoFi lacking a natural on-demand UE skill.

[Ideal course of build up: 2 Ego Start (Final Moon + Rift) into Aponia's Fourth/Sixth by F3, finish Aponia 2nd Core by F4 Double, grab Aponia's Penance by F5, go shop F6 and use 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse to grab Kevin's TDM and Elem DMG or one of them or additionally Kevin's Sp/s and Griseo's Red and Yellow, finish Kevin 1st Core by F7 Double]

1- Aponia: Ultimate, QTE, SP Regen, Basic ATK (Optional), 2nd Core, Penance, Breach, TDM Taken (Optional)
Note: Ultimate is high priority to +3. Basic ATK can be taken at any time, preferentially from Shop. Penance is higher priority than Breach.

2- Kevin: TDM, Elem DMG, Sp/s, 1st Core, Flock (Optional)
Note: TDM and Elem DMG are high priority to +3. Make sure to get Kevin's Sp/s as it's very important for this build due to the constant demand of SP.
Flock is very good to take if you can and highly recommended.

3- Griseo: Red, Yellow, Black, Blue, 2nd Core, Petals in the Wind, Fallen Leaves
Note: Red and Yellow are absolute highest priority to +3. Black is good to +3. Use 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse to try and get Petals and Fallen both at +2.

4th Core: Choice between Hua or Kalpas (Go for whichever is +2 in weather)

4a- Kalpas: TDM, Phys/Elem DMG, TDM Taken, Max HP%, 2nd Core
Note: It is strongly recommended to try and get Kalpas' signets at +1 or +2 from 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse.

4b- Hua: TDM, Elem DMG, Elem Breach or Reduced DMG Taken, 2nd Core, Broken Dream (Optional)
Note: Doesn't matter if you get either Breach or Reduced DMG Taken, just finish 2nd Core when you can. Broken Dream is very optional, but get it from Shop if it shows up.

5- Sakura: TDM, TDM Taken
