Azure Latch Hiori Guide: Quest Walkthrough & Cryo Moveset

The Technician of Stillness

Yo Hiori is a free quest style — and the best value quest in the game (best-styles verdict): a three-chapter questline shorter than NEL Isagi’s, paying out an A-tier support striker.

The Questline

Three chapters on three styles (full quest hub):

  1. Isagi’s Rebirth Encore (Isagi) — 10 Direct Shoot goals · 5 My Direct Shot goals · 5 Move It uses on teammates · one Two Gun Volley goal.
  2. Kurona’s Passing (Kurona) — use Flow 5× · 10 Dog Guard steals · one Orbital Resonance auto-goal.
  3. NEL Isagi’s Adaption (NEL Isagi) — 10 Neo Direct Shot goals · 5 Meta-Burst steal variants · 5 deflect/trap variants · one lefty Neo Direct Shot (get tackled during the wind-up) · score Rebirth or Two Gun Volley.

Chapter 3 requiring NEL Isagi means Hiori is effectively the second quest style you finish — plan the NEL grind first.

Moveset (Official Values)

  • {T} Cryo Frame — a modifier for slots 3 and 4, granting each a frost variant.
  • [1] Glacial Cut — on-ball, iFrames, 25s; pressing A/D travels the cut left or right with the same protection.
  • [2] Frost Guard — off-ball defense, iFrames, 30s. Whiff warning: missing the ball leaves 5–6 seconds of endlag.
  • [3] Link Up — the identity move: a delayable pass (hold the ball ~5 extra seconds before it commits), 25s cooldown; the double-tap variant auto-passes to your nearest teammate Kurona-style, and the +T Cryo version adds the frost layer.

Playing Hiori

He’s a rhythm passer: Link Up’s delay window turns every possession into a fake-out, and Glacial Cut’s directional travel makes him hard to pin. Respect Frost Guard’s endlag — it’s your only defensive tool and the whiff cost is a free goal for the other side.
