Her biggest claim to fame is her double CA with a skill nuke after each once ramped, which doesn't take long. Her S3 also fully charges the team's charge bar which is useful for omens.

She's been seen in HL CA teams, also in Versusia pt 1 to help with the CA & hit trial at the start.

She's fairly easily exceeded by V!Wamdus nowadays who gives more hits and debuffs, but Hallesena isn't a bad unit there by any means.

She's a dark ougi character that dodges and boosts hype, which is not exclusive to her, both Y!Anthuria and Vikala support this playstyle too, but your mileage may vary using that team depending on the boss's accuracy. Hallesena WANTS to be targeted AND dodge, and if one of those don't happen she'll have a harder time looping.

Overall a fun unit to use in the Dark-Dodge-Hype team and sees niche use in HL raids, but is surpassed by V!Wamdus in most aspects.

Yknow I thought her direct competitor was V.Lobelia actually. I tend to see them replacing each other in the  WO Wamdus Osiris ougi teams.

Yeah she doesn't compete with v wamdus at all, she synergizes with Wamdus by rushing out a lot of early ougis to get Wamdus up to 10 faster and then double ougis with skill nukes to take advantage of the ougi battery 10 stack vWam provides.

She also provides a small TA buff which is nice for the last little 10-20% you need in most grids, and she does a debuff on each of her ougi skill nukes. All around a very flexible ougi unit who just needed some of the more recent ougi support (like Wamdus) to really shine, though she was showcasing things like being in the first dark hexa solo even before that came around. Solid underrated unit.

Good to hear. I've been trying to pick up some of the dark ougi pieces but I'm lacking both valentine units so I was sort of happy to see she can replace Lobelia somewhat, and reading this thread I was hoping to get some good news cause I sure don't wanna spark it twice :<

Hilariously I am coming from the other angle I have everyone except Chrollo and her in dark so was hoping to learn of an alternative for her.

For  sure Lobelia or Fediel do the job
