Overview

Summoners War Hanra Dark Beast Hunter, is a 4★ Attack-type monster known for his powerful passive that punishes enemies for gaining buffs. His skill set revolves around stripping buffs, dealing significant single-target damage, and capitalizing on enemies’ attempts to enhance themselves. Hanra excels in PvP content like Arena, Siege, and RTA where buff-heavy compositions are common. His ability to ignore effects that block beneficial effect removal and his synergy with buff control teams make him a potent anti-support and anti-buff threat. As a dark-element unit, he is also less restricted by elemental disadvantage, allowing him to fit into various strategic lineups.

How to Obtain Hanra

Light and Dark Scroll

Temple of Wishes

Hanra, the Dark Beast Hunter, can be obtained through the following methods:

• Light & Darkness Scrolls – Hanra is a 3★ monster that can be summoned from Light & Darkness Scrolls. As with other monsters from this scroll type, the drop rate is random and not guaranteed.
• Temple of Wishes – Hanra may also be acquired as a random reward through the Temple of Wishes. However, this method has low odds due to the large pool of possible outcomes.

Since Hanra is a Dark-element natural 3★ monster, he cannot be fused or farmed and is not available through regular elemental scrolls or secret dungeons. His acquisition is entirely RNG-based, so obtaining him may take time and multiple summons.

Strength and Weakness

Strengths:

• Anti-Buff Specialist: Hanra’s passive punishes enemies for gaining buffs, making him highly effective against buff-heavy teams.
• Buff Strip Capability: He can remove beneficial effects, disrupting enemy setups and support units.
• Unconditional Passive: His passive works even against enemies immune to beneficial effect removal.
• Dark Element: As a Dark-type monster, he has no elemental disadvantage, allowing flexible use across all content.
• PvP Viability: Strong pick for Arena, Siege, and especially Real-Time Arena (RTA) against teams that rely on buffs.

Weaknesses:

• RNG Dependence: His effectiveness relies on enemy actions (gaining buffs), which may reduce his impact in certain matchups.
• Fragile: As a 3★ base Attack-type unit, his base HP and Defense are relatively low, requiring protection or support.
• Niche Role: Less effective in PvE or against enemies that don’t frequently use buffs.
• Skill-Up Investment: Needs 13 skill-ups to maximize his damage and passive effectiveness, which can be resource-intensive.

Synergy

Hanra works best in teams built to control or punish buff-heavy opponents. His synergy revolves around disrupting enemy buffs and capitalizing on his passive damage potential.

Best Synergy Partners:

• Buff Strippers (e.g., Tiana, Clara, Kaki): Pairing Hanra with reliable AoE strippers ensures enemy buffs are consistently removed, triggering Hanra’s passive more often.
• Debuffers (e.g., Giana, Nephthys): After stripping, debuffers can apply crowd control effects like stun, sleep, or defense break, allowing Hanra to deal more damage safely.
• ATB Manipulators (e.g., Chiwu, Triton): These units help Hanra by disrupting enemy turn order, giving him more turns and opportunities to activate his passive.
• Damage Amplifiers (e.g., Fran, Loren): Allies that can apply ATK buffs, defense breaks, or strip/tap enemies help Hanra maximize his burst potential.

Hanra shines in compositions that revolve around speed control, buff denial, and single-target focus. He fits particularly well in Arena, Siege, and RTA teams that rely on aggression and utility.
