Hakua Igarashi (Sincerity and Potential)
Profile Update

Hakua Igarashi (Sincerity and Potential) is a Defender in Kaiju No. 8 The Game who comes with survivability and offensive support, making her a flexible pick for Fire-based teams. While not a top-tier meta unit, she offers solid value—especially for players lacking premium supports.

Her kit revolves around Patience, a mechanic that provides sustained healing and cleansing. By applying Patience to all allies, Hakua ensures consistent HP recovery over time, and can further trigger healing effects through her Ultimate. This makes her particularly useful in longer fights or content where survivability is key.

Offensively, she contributes through team-wide buffs, increasing Fire DMG Dealt and Blast/AoE damage, which synergizes well with Fire DPS units and AoE-focused comps. Her Ultimate also deals Blast damage with dual attributes (Shot/Fire), giving her some utility in shield breaking and multi-target scenarios.

Her scaling improves notably with ascensions. A2 adds damage reduction, boosting team durability, while A4 and A6 significantly enhance her support potential, increasing Ultimate damage for allies under Patience and further amplifying Fire damage buffs.

Overall, Hakua is a well-rounded hybrid support/defender who provides healing, cleansing, and offensive buffs. She’s not a must-have, but she’s a strong, accessible option—especially in Fire teams or for players needing more sustain. Now we have to get one, she didn’t come free like Jura Igarashi.
