Who fits the key of Hajj Nisut
Character selection should favor heroes whose abilities scale with health. It is also advantageous for users who build around reaction-based elemental mastery.
The first candidate is Nilu, whose kit relies heavily on health. Her reactions benefit from strong Elemental Mastery, and the Key of Hajj-nisut synergizes well with her kit, enhancing overall effectiveness when paired together.
The second option is Kuki Shinobu. Her abilities scale with health, and the Key markedly boosts her performance, particularly in reaction setups where Elemental Mastery matters.
The third option is Ayato, as the sword increases both health and elemental mastery for him, boosting his overall damage and flexibility in battle.
The final common pick is Bennett. While the sword is not his optimal weapon, it can still offer value if other options are unavailable, helping the team sustain healing through his supportive kit.
How To Play With the Hajj Nisut Key
Begin with quick activation of the sword’s buffs by managing the elemental cooldowns. This allows you to trigger the weapon’s reinforcement rapidly, stack up to three times, and then support other team members with stronger elemental effects.
