So, I wanted to do it as an analysis video but got lazy this weekend and will just do something wuick... , as you may or not know, Hastur recently got a Major buff for his kit, starting from the fact that madness and weakness no longer affect your allies.
This is already huge for him since madness was a big problem for team composition and double defense down makes your squad too fragile. But now that's no longer an issue.
Just remember that poison, fatal poison and stigma are still applied to your allies, but that's easy to manage and, in fact, Hastur wants you to hold fatal poison
This new update made his Fatal poison into a buff, making your damage deal double the amount when holding it. He can't deal fatal poison to himself tho, but hekate can help him with that.
The best part of this is that you NO LONGER need Pazuzu, in fact they are anti-synergy now since pazuzu can remove your "buff"
Of course hora his main debuffing shenanigans niche he is a bit worse, but that's heavily compensated now by being more flexible in team compositions, massive damage increase, crowd control through madness and the many more stuff we saw in my previous video
About my personal rating? F*** it, he is a S- tier now. Removing his weakness makes him a top tier debuffer, but the fact that he also buffs your squad through an unique way makes him super valuable and absolutely worth pulling now, almost meta even. The banner is about to end by the time I upload this, but if he ever gets a rerun, go for him and good luck!
