Hypnos, God of Sleep, when Hypnos came out in the game a few years ago, was a very functional unit, countering many units in the meta. In fact, he could still do that today. But even after getting his Awakened Cloth, he still can't find a place in the meta. The fact is that his skill, which is very good, is not enough at this point in time, when there are too many units in Saint Seiya Awakening that move out of turn.

Hypnos' healing isn't that high, and an enemy AoE can do a lot of damage, so he's a character who deals DoT damage. Each hit charges enemy units like Thanatos or Seraphina, which are very meta. He can slow down enemies or reduce their defense if we use him with the right cosmos, and even focus on damaging them. But he's not the best at any of these roles and can't do them all at the same time. We have to choose which card we want to activate: healing, slowing, or damage. This makes him less versatile. For the current meta, Hypnos needs some adjustments.

Pros

Easy to use, has a passive skill which improves him a lot
Can heal, control and make damage
Counters many meta units

Cons

His skills aren't enought powerful for today Meta.
Expensive to build in cosmos, needs to be fast.

Ethernal Dream - Awakening

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Hypnos summons a dreamscape that has a 50% chance of causing the main target to enter the nightmare state instantaneously and adds a Nightmare Seal to them. At the start of each round, Hypnos also has a 50% chance to add 1 Nightmare Seal on a random enemy Saint. When Ethereal Dream is in effect, Hypnos will gain [Inverse Reality] and increase his P.ATK by 5%, with a 40% chance to gain 1 extra move. (Cooldown time: 4 rounds) When an affected enemy Saint enters the nightmare state: They will be put into a trance and experience disorder, resulting in a 30% (+ Hit rate) chance of hitting the wrong target the next time they launch a target-specific attack. The ally Saint with the lowest HP gains a protective dreamscape card, which increases its holder's P.DMG Res and C.DMG Res by 28% each. The protective effect will be shattered after 4 attacks.
